Summer Fruit

For Father's Day my PaPa wanted a low country boil so the whole family gathered outside to feast on shrimp, corn, potatoes (I skipped those), and sausage.  We also had some lemon blueberry pie and cake (skipped those too) and good cold watermelon slices.   Lemon anything is my favorite so it was tough for me not to eat it, but I'm proud of myself for sticking with the watermelon.  Standing outside with my family, eating summer's best fruit and spitting out the seeds like we did when we were kids, it was evident that summer was here!  Well, that and the overbearing heat!   As the temp soared into the nineties, I realized something else: I can tolerate the heat a whole lot better now that I've lost weight.  And that's a good thing seeing as how it's not getting cold anytime soon!
