Summer is coming! The days are getting longer, the leaves are back on the trees and the flowers are blooming.
Longer, sunnier days mean more time and more options for outdoor activities.
For example, pickleball is sweeping the nation and the world. Our article provides some background into how the sport developed, why it has become so popular and what terms like “dink” and “dillball” mean in that game’s vernacular.
If you’re heading to a one-day or dayslong music festival, our Buying Smart piece will help you figure out what essentials to bring along, and how Costco can help make the experience enjoyable and comfortable.
Similarly, the article on vacationing with a neurodiverse child provides tips and suggestions for making travel as smooth and anxiety-free as possible for everyone in the family.
For me, warmer weather means more time in the water, swimming, snorkeling and water-skiing. To that list I can add aqua therapy, covered in this month’s For Your Health section. I’m not currently nursing any injuries, but it’s good to know about this effective, low-impact way to address pain and mobility issues.
And what is summer without good beach books? Currently, I’m on a rom-com kick—fun, escapist reads that can take me away from the day-to-day stresses of life. Whatever kind of reading you enjoy, Danielle Steel, our cover story subject for this issue, has probably written in that genre. Not one to be pinned down to any specific writing category, Steel spins several bestselling novels each year, and her enduring popularity is evident in the hundreds of millions of books she has sold to her worldwide fan base.
Here’s to the lazy, hazy days of summer!
