In Texas, when the weather starts to bring 90 degree days and the images of playing on the lake trickle through your mind, you know its summer. Of course, as Texans, we understand summer doesn't officially start until June 20th. Yet, this extended weekend includes Memorial Day, so many summer has begun!
