Beat the Heat

20 op Five

Happy birthday America!

I love celebrating the 4th of July with my family—I savor the BBQs, music and mostly the fireworks. It’s hard to believe we’re more than half way through the year. With July 4th in the rearview, it’s time to start counting the days until cooler temperatures.

This month’s issue of The Grand Season is geared to those of you caring for a loved one. Over the last three months, many people in my life have begun providing daily care for a sick family member—including my mother. My mom’s new journey has opened my eyes to a whole new world—that it is not only physically, but mentally exhausting. It’s my hope this month’s articles will remind you that you’re not alone.

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season, and the businesses that make our publication possible each month. I hope you—and your family— enjoy the secondhalf of summer and create some amazing memories.

Don’t forget to stay hydrated!
