My sure-fire recipe for a perfect afternoon

Try this recipe when you’re ready for a break, have family in town, or just want to make sure that your afternoon is top-notch.

Start by mixing together the following ingredients (do not over-stir):

• Ample amounts of Sunshine (no substitution will suffice)
• Heavy sprinkling of blue skies
• A handful of fluffy white clouds

Next, stir in the following, to taste:

• sandy beach (Golden Gardens brand works well)
• 6-8 boats (sailboats, freighters, fishing boats- whichever you prefer)
• 3 kites
• A few gulls (be careful not to add too many; they can be overpowering)
• A dozen or so children (again, keep quantities limited)

Bake at comfortable temperatures, approximately 67 degrees, until warm and content.

For extra fun, add:

• a smattering of seashells
• assorted buckets, shovels, and other beach toys
• sunglasses, sunscreen, and a good book.

And, enjoy! This recipe is a sure winner… make plenty, cause everyone always wants more!
