OPEN HOUSE PUNCH

What would I ever have done without my Mother?

Entertaining was her specialty,

so Miss Judy and I were fortunate enough

to learn from the "hostess with the mostest!"

Summer months often mean you throw open

your doors and welcome family and friends into your home

for a relaxing weekend just visiting and catching up

with each other's lives.

Mother served this cool, refreshing punch

often when we would host cousins and company!

1 (16 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, chilled
