SUMMER’S HERE....July 24th



Today is Friday again. Today my JULY piece is centering around Mexican food or as I call it Tex-Mex.  I’m a fan of chips and salsa as well as the other items listed in the piece.  Of course, I can’t order it and bring it home, I need to be out and about to enjoy; going to a local establishment for their homemade salsa one of my favorite outings.  My Legion Post has tacos, quesadillas and taco salads available on Thursdays with margaritas at a reasonable price.  My husband is a fan of fajitas from yet another place.  At the moment I am yearning some of these items, but have to wait till places open again to full capacity to partake in this fare.  
I composed the wacky/weird holiday piece all about tequila drinks as it’s National Tequila Day.  The only tequila base drink I enjoy are margaritas.  I’ve had shooters, two are my limit and probably one should be.  As for a Tequila Sunrises, they are overly sweet; do not like them.  I can not even think a Bloody Maria would be something I’d enjoy as I’m a fan of a good, really good, Bloody Mary.  I’m certain there are other tequila based drinks but I only know of these four that I’d probably want as a celebratory drink for the day.  Of course the piece is true to form as I don’t have tequila at home.  
I’m reflecting on people who can’t drive in the rain. I think they see a few rain drops and panic. I remember people like that in the snow. I wonder if these are the people who lived up in snow areas who transplanted to Florida are the ones who can’t drive in the rain. The rain kept me from doing things yesterday, but I’m determined they will be done today. 
It’s Friday the day of wearing of the red. 
Until tomorrow....have a margarita or two to celebrate the day.

     July 24th....DAILY REFLECTION 


A rainy Thursday....kept me indoors....now 
    yesterday’s errands will be done today

Not that I’d melt if I went out in the rain....
  it’s the people who can’t drive in it

Up North it was drivers who couldn’t drive 
    in snow....now it’s drivers who can’t drive 
       in the rain

Just thinking of tacos, salsa and chips,  
       taco salad whets my appetite 

Unless fajitas or quesadillas are on the 
        menu 

Like all these tasty Mexican foods, never 
     know which to choose 

Yearning for the day I can go out to enjoy       
       them again

              CAN’T CELEBRATE
      (National Tequila Day, July 24th)

Salt, lime, tequila in a shot glass
  a few Tequila Shooters can knock me
    on my keister 
    I MUST CELEBRATE THE DAY

Squeeze a lime, add triple sec 
    liqueur and tequila
    tasty Margaritas can do the trick
Straight up, over ice or frozen
     as long as the glass rim is salty 
    I MUST CELEBRATE THE DAY

Of course a Tequila Sunrise would be 
    sweet and delicious 
      having one or two sounds like a plan 
      I MUST CELEBRATE THE DAY 

Perhaps I’ll have a Bloody Maira
    celery stalk, olives, a dash of horseradish 
        a twist on the vodka base drink 
      I MUST CELEBRATE THE DAY

It’s National Tequila Day today
   I’d love a  few   
       Margaritas
           Shooters
             Tequila Sunrises
                  Bloody Marias
BUT.... 

Unfortunately I can’t celebrate 
  No tequila do I have
