Mixed Drink Monday: Throwback Week 9

Solidly in the back half of summer now! (Although, to be honest, I am trying to get all of these written before school is out so we aren't even half way through May as I write this and just the thought of being almost done with summer break is making me sad, even though right now I have complicated feelings about losing all my quiet time soon.)  There is something particularly chaotic about July.  It's my birthday month and therefore the best month of the year (followed closely by December and then a multi-way tie for nearly every month that isn't January or February) but is also, very much, has a "Saturday" of summer feeling to it.  Just very relaxed, trying to pack it all in, anything goes but not really because as a parent that sound dangerous.  July just has a very different feeling than June, especially as our school start date creeps earlier and earlier every year.
