One of my favorite places to visit in the summer is Door County, WI. Every year at this time, my family and I

make the trek to this gem.One year, while driving to our resort

my husband said a co-worker told him we will be in the height of the sunflower season during our stay.

As we drove on the two lane highway, it wasn’t a few miles down the road that the color yellow overtook us. He was right.

There to the right of the road were acres of sunflowers saluting us with their beauty.

It took my breath away. We pulled over and I couldn’t help but smile as I snapped my camera knowing this was a special memory.

Years have passed and we drive on the same highway, but for some reason we have not seen that field filled with sunflowers. Corn fields or rows of beans have overtook the crops, but when we pass that spot we remember the beauty we saw. There is something special about the memories we keep on our holidays. The smiles, laughter and images we make, cre-ate, and experience are treasured for years to come.

The Greek Star will enjoy a two week holiday beginning Aug. 3. Therefore we will not print the Aug. 8 or Aug. 15 edi-tions but we will resume with the Aug. 22 issue. So be sure to enjoy the summer and keep your face to the sun—wherever you are.
