I am sure many American readers are not feeling the most patriotic they’ve ever been this 4th of July weekend, but I hope you manage to have some fun regardless. We are taking Monday off for the holiday and will be back on Tuesday. Speaking of holidays, it is also Canada Day, so our Canadian readers also have a long weekend. And I just remembered: GFY is 18 years old today! We can finally vote. Thank you all so very much for being here, and for your amazing support over all these years. We could not do it without you — and we definitely wouldn’t want to. Drinks on us — and a big group hug — at the next Drinks With Broads!
Do you need workout clothes, or at least clothes that you COULD work out in, if you wanted to? We rounded them up! We also had a rollicking chat about our favorite summer recipes.
