And I love making my favorite frozen drink to share with the family on those days that is just perfect for grilling and picnics.

Faces of Courage
Dear COVID-19 Heroes: I am talking to the uniformed forces who are still serving, still protecting and still putting their lives on the line. Not only from everyday dangers, but now facing new ones. To the heroes still fighting for our nation, putting out fires, saving our lives daily, and protecting our citizens and ensuring we are safe from within and from without our borders. To the warriors who don't get to go home everyday, and miss out on birthdays and holidays to protect us, even through a global pandemic.
