June begins today.  (Personally, I'm still trying to figure out where April went!)  Take advantage of the longer daylight hours and slower pace to do some informal entertaining:

• Celebrate a new graduate.
• Throw a shower for a bride or mother to be.
• Host a party for some newlyweds.
• Gather some old high school friends for a mini-reunion.
• Host a family reunion.
• Have a Father's Day cookout.
• Have a garden party.  (Bonus points if the ladies wear big hats and gloves.)
• Invite the neighbors over for TGIF tapas and sangria.
• Celebrate the solstice (June 20-21 – technically 1:46 a.m. on June 21 in DC)
• Celebrate Midsummer's Nativity (June 24th — halfway to Christmas)
• Take a picnic and some friends to an outdoor concert

The possibilities are endless.  How will you celebrate this summer?
