The times they are a changin'

You think summer's over?
Then come on a picnic with me! That's right Carole was my Special Swap partner for the Picnic swap - and she sent me to the beach! My goodies included a great beach towel, a "misting fan" to keep me cool, some awesome coctail napkins, a super-cool flip-flop for my...
