It's windy out, but so very nice.

The best things about Summertime can mostly be found at garden parties with a patio bar. Or any parties with an outdoor bar. Sunshine and BBQ, mimosas and girls in bright sun-dresses, cold lowballs and beer. And to protect their hands from condensation, guests drinking cold drinks will take a cocktail napkin from the bar. But in the spring and summertime, it is often windy outside, so to keep your napkins from flying away from your friends, take a cloth napkin, fold it in half, then in half again the long way, and wrap it around your napkins. There. the weight of the napkins themselves will help to keep them from blowing over. Now, go have a garden party!
