Greetings!

July is here!  It is such a fun time in the year with the "hot" weather, vacations, outdoor activities, and the colorful splendor only nature can truly provide! Of course, we also enjoy basking in our patriotic holidays!  The first in Canada and the fourth in the US comes and goes so quickly.  If you are prepared ahead of time with a few fun new recipes for the picnics and back yard barbecues...you are in for extra fun rather than settling for the same dishes, dips and beverages from previous gatherings.  If you are not able to gather with friends and family on the fourth, well, just plan another July weekend to have an amazing time together with fabulous food and treats!  Watkins products can help you out in this arena.  Everything just tastes so much better when it is Watkinized!  Enjoy this month's specials.  They will enjoy the specials, tips and recipes too!  Thanks!

Until next month!
