Woman who tells everyone to set their background to match this month's theme, this month's theme is SUMMER! Set your background to something that reminds you of summer! 3 out of 25 people do this and all three are asked to explain their background, so enjoy listening to boomers talk about their summer homes and Myrtle Beach memories for 20 minutes
