summer

Today may not be the day to try on a bathing suit after wolfing down a pizza, a pound of wings, and a tub of queso at the football party yesterday. But with more retailers giving us options regardless of body type, it's time for a pact girls -- embrace the curves!

Did you notice that it stopped raining every other day.  Guess what that means.

We're in a prime place to grow blueberries, and the season is peaking right now.  If you're looking for a fun family outing on Father's Day Weekend, take a road trip to this East Texas blueberry farm and come back with a huge bucket full of produce.

We all want to have fun and relax on a summer vacation, but we don't necessarily want to pay big bucks for it.  One East Texas city is getting some notice for being one of the best cheap vacation spots in the state.

Did you know the Texas Forestry Museum, located at 1905 Atkinson Dr., Lufkin, has a varied calendar of summer events for the benefit of our local kids, from kindergartners up to 12 year old?

Kids are already out of school and easing into their summer breaks. At some point, they are going to get tired of their internet capable devices, TV, and air conditioning. Send them out to play!

If there is one sound of summer in Texas, it's flip flops slapping on heels.  Everywhere. Old Navy will have flip flops for one dollar soon, it's in-store only. Here's what you need to know.

Texas has 15 of the 30 hottest cities in the US, with more than 100 days each year above 90. Ouch! The hottest city in America has average temps of 106 in July.  Any guess what city that is?  And see what Lufkin's average summer temp should be.

After all the rain and thunderstorms last week, it's nice to see the sun and 90 degrees this week.  And we know 100 isn't far off.  Summer in Texas is great for hanging out at pools and lakes, but there are things to watch out for too.  Here's our big heads up.

Summers were so much fun as a kid, with camps, swimming, and sprinklers, and lots and lots of ice cream. As an adult, there's no break from work and there can be more to do juggling the kids' schedule, and we lose the magic!  But here's a way to get it back.

There's so much more to flying than sitting on the plane, reading on your device, and eating peanuts.  A lot of flying involves waiting. Waiting for the line to move so you can board the plane, waiting for the plane to leave the gate, and waiting for the plane to reach the gate once the plane lands. It turns out, Texas airports may have a delay here and there, but overall our airports are a lot sp

There are only two states that will avoid a summer that's hotter than heck, and Texas is not one of them.  Midwest vacation, anyone?
