BargainView: Hello Lovely Summer!
By Monica Barber
Welcome to Summer! It’s that lovely time of year where an ice-cold lemonade sounds heavenly as the temperatures make their way toward the 90s and today Ms M is sipping a pink lemonade she picked up from the Queen Bean. As she sips slowly she ponders how wonderful it is to have made it halfway through the year. Also, she thinks it’s time to get out to have some fun now that things are re-opening. If you are ready to get out and experience what Modesto has to offer again, there is a lot to do that will keep your budget in line.
