Summer is FLYING by! All of a sudden, the fourth of July has passed and there's nothing but school to look forward to. Ugh. I'm secretly looking forward to back-to-school time. My life gets a lot less crazy!

Here's to the most casual Pi I know - Phil. I met Phil my freshman year of college and we've been best buds ever since. Phil is the type of fellow that would give you the shirt off his back (only after he's thrown up on yours! Kidding, kidding!), throw his jacket over a puddle and hold open every door. He has a lucky girl and is the nicest guy you'll ever meet.
July 23: Gorgeous Grandma Day, Hot Enough for Ya Day, Vanilla Ice Cream Day
Nana - my paternal grandma! Gorgeous inside and out with a huge heart and passion for her family.
Grandma Winkler - my maternal grandmother. June, also known as Judy, passed away before I really had the opportunity to get to know her. But I do know that she was gorgeous.


So, to my three very gorgeous grandmas. I wouldn't be the woman I am today without you. Thank you for showing me what class, tact and inner beauty are all about.
Rita - my step-grandma! I must admit I'm pretty lucky to have three grandmothers! Rita never ceases to amaze me with her love and caring spirit. I am so glad I have the relationship with her that I do.
