“If life gives you limes, make
margarita’s!”
Jimmy Buffett
The summer is in full swing and hopefully everyone has been
able to put his or her toes in the water and their ass in the sand
at least once. If not – thankfully you still have plenty of time
until our favorite season begins to turn into… well, we don’t
really need to think past summer now do we?
Along with breathing in that salt air, this summer has also
allowed for other adventures. The month of June – the first
month of the Summer Solstice brought us Zac Brown. He and
his band performed at Fenway in June and from those that
attended – the three hours of music was worth far more than the
price of admission! Not only did they play original material but
they covered songs from the Dropkick Murphy’s, Billy Joel, Pink
Floyd, and the Charlie Daniels Band to name a few. If you have
not yet seen Zac Brown live – you should! The month of July
brought our fearless leader, Jimmy Buffett back to “Great
Woods”! Yeah, yeah…I know, it’s called the Xfinity Center now,
but really – won’t it always be Great Woods?
Much like Zac in June, Jimmy did not disappoint in July. From
the tailgating atmosphere to the concert itself – this experience
left us longing for more and wondering how we are going to
wait another trip around the sun to get it. The 2014 tour titled
“This One’s For You” really did hold true. Some members even
made the Jumbotron, not once, not twice but three times from
footage filmed during the tailgate! Can anyone guess whom?
The month of August is looking good with the arrival of the
sunset cruise on the 10th, the annual NWPHC Pool Party at the
Angelo residence on the 16th and the Alferes party on the 30th.
So many parties – so little time!
Along with the fun festivities, don’t forget to come out to the
monthly meetings – the mainland meetings are always the first
Tuesday of the month followed by the Cape meetings the second
Tuesday.
