    Next to the holiday season, nothing brings back fuzzy feelings and nostalgia like the summertime! In our family, we try to embrace that, and enjoy it as much as we can. From beach days, to drive-in movies, to cruising the back-roads listening to “Golden Oldies” music, if you're anything like us, summertime is a season to cherish the moments you create. So, break out the lawn-chair, stoke the campfire, and get random with us. “It's summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime.”   "Beaches & Drive-Ins" Playlist: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/beaches-drive-ins/pl.9da85f2879ca4f1988664b87cb27d7c6   Good News: https://www.positive.news/society/allotments-the-platform-connecting-growers-with-green-spaces/   Our Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheRandomCouple?ref=shop_sugg   Moose Lake, MN Agate Days Festival: https://www.mooselakechamber.com/agate-days/   https://www.facebook.com/therandomcouplepodcast   https://twitter.com/RandomCouplePod   https://www.instagram.com/therandomcouplepodcast/
