What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.

We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Perhaps no player has ever made such a lengthy and distinguished journey from outlier to icon. Nobody ever became a Murray fan because they were smitten by his somewhat herky-jerky, defense-heavy game. Swift as he was, he tended to shuffle and lumber. His style was ragged, a game full of quirks and rough edges. And then there was the perfectionism, and the anger it bred. He frequently heaped scorn on his team in the player-guest box, freaked out on the court howling at an invisible moon.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet
