Meet Darlene and Diana the two ladies behind the delicious gourmet grilled cheese truck Melt Mobile. These ladies started their business in 2012. They appeared on the Food Network with help from Bobby Flay and their amazing cheesy empire began. The food is beyond amazing. I have hired them for a handful of parties and everyone was in awe. They also have a location schedule, where you can find them to try their fabulous menu. They just recently introduced a franchise program. Basically, you are given “the opportunity to feel good about selling high-end products without the high-end overhead of a traditional brick and mortar restaurant”. How great is that? Isn’t this a perfect business for a recent grad? Or a family who loves to cook together and is looking for something to allow them to pursue their passion? The best part is that Darlene and Diana provide all the support needed for you to become and remain successful. “Melt Mobile’s” Franchise support will be there every step of the way to offer guidance, training and support”.

So far this summer has gone off with a bang. We started off with a high school graduation and all the fun events that accompanied it. The first weeks of summer have been a blur of one celebration after another. I just recently took the time to sit back and reflect on what this meant fashionwise!!!!! I have seen a rainbow of dresses and outfits. As I posted a few weeks ago, the off the shoulder look is huge. I have seen dresses and blouses. BUT the most refreshing addtion I have seen almost everywhere is the evening clutch. From material to leather to embellished it has been a runway of glamourous looks. I personally love the embellished ones. The price range is from the bargain to the affordable to the splurge. Whatever your budget this accessory can take your outfit from zero to sixty.
Recently the book, Rich and Pretty, by Rumaan Alam has caught my eye. It’s a book about two best friends, almost like sisters and their enduring friendship. The story goes like this:
This irresistible debut, set in contemporary New York, provides a sharp, insightful look into how the relationship between two best friends changes when they are no longer coming of age but learning how to live adult lives.
As close as sisters for twenty years, Sarah and Lauren have been together through high school and college, first jobs and first loves, the uncertainties of their twenties and the realities of their thirties.
Sarah, the only child of a prominent intellectual and a socialite, works at a charity and is methodically planning her wedding. Lauren—beautiful, independent, and unpredictable—is single and working in publishing, deflecting her parents’ worries and questions about her life and future by trying not to think about it herself. Each woman envies—and is horrified by—particular aspects of the other’s life, topics of conversation they avoid with masterful linguistic pirouettes.
Once, Sarah and Lauren were inseparable; for a long a time now, they’ve been apart. Can two women who rarely see one other, selectively share secrets, and lead different lives still call themselves best friends? Is it their abiding connection—or just force of habit—that keeps them together?
With impeccable style, biting humor, and a keen sense of detail, Rumaan Alam deftly explores how the attachments we form in childhood shift as we adapt to our adult lives—and how the bonds of friendship endure, even when our paths diverge. Summary Amazon.com

Now its time to celebrate Dad and thank him for all the selfless things he does. In my house, our dad truly deserved the BEST, he puts up with a lot!!!!!!!!!! You can never go wrong with BBQ accessories, or technology items. But sometimes an old fashioned coffee mug or t-shirt with the right sentiment does the job just as well!!!
