Don Henley

Don Henleys song “Boys of Summer” inspired these 4 segments of Coffee Cup Monday starting with last Monday going thru 8/11.

Wayfarer Sunglasses were the ones mentioned in the song and were popular in the 80s. They are pretty expensive now days.

The song reminds me so much of the summer and the 80’s and love in general. Summer evokes love and memories for so many people. I hope you enjoy~

Summer Sun Safety

I love how Ray bans actually block the harmful sun rays to keep your eyes healthy. Be sure to use sunscreen to protect your skin and don’t forget your sunglasses.
