Celebrate the Last Weekend of June!

It's time for some family and friend fun time!

The last weekend of June brings about 

Watermelon Seed Spitting Week

and Water Ski Weekend.

Grab some people and head to the lake.  

Water ski during the day, grill some

delicious burgers for dinner and 

wrap up the evening with some juicy, 

refreshing watermelon. 

Spitting out the seeds, of course!

How About Some Pudding in a Canoe?!

Well, today is the day to have your pudding and in a canoe, too.  : )  

It's National Chocolate Pudding Day and National Canoe Day!

Enjoy yourself on the water or at home with some 

yummy decadently rich chocolate pudding.

June 25th - The Day for Parents and Catfish

It's National Catfish Day!
Ronald Reagan saw the value in the farm-raised catfish and set aside a day to celebrate it.  Do you love catfish? Bake, grilled, or fried...it's all good.  Go fishing or - follow my way - and just go to a restaurant and order catfish.  :)    

Also, it's summer and the kids are home, wanting to be entertained.  The phrase "I'm bored" is heard often.  Do you need a day for you?  Have you ever wished someone else would take your children to work?  Today is the day for it.  It's "Please Take My Children to Work Day."  If nothing else just the title makes you want to smile and think of the possibilities.

Weekend of Family Fun and Forgiving

Grab your hot dogs, marshmallows, chocolate bars, and sleeping bags.  It's time to head to the backyard for the Great American Backyard Campout.  Yes, the fourth Saturday of June is all about sleeping under the stars and backyard foods.  Tell stories around the camp fire - or flashlight.  Sing songs and make sure to do my nephew's favorite part...S'mores!

Tomorrow, is a day to reflect and forgive.  It's National Let it Go Day!  A good day for us all to release any pent up anger or sadness.  Take a deep breath and think of good times.  Try to smile, hug a loved one, or talk to a friend on the phone.  Put the past behind you and look forward to the beautiful summer ahead.  :)

June 20 and 21st - Fun Days

June 20th is a day to celebrate especially if you have a Sonic near you.  It's Vanilla Milkshake Day!  Sonic is doing a half price all day on the shakes.  Don't want vanilla; they have many flavors to choose from!  Try a peanut butter cookie or a chocolate covered banana.  Go with my father's favorite - pineapple.  Whatever cool treat you choose enjoy!

And tomorrow is a day for some fun at the office.  June 21st is Take Your Dog to Work Day and National Flip Flop Day!  I think we should celebrate them both and have a really exciting Friday at work!

Tuesday...A Great Day for a Picnic!

It's International Picnic Day!  Grab a basket, bag, cooler...and head out.  Whether a big gathering with friends and neighbors at the park or a simple snack out back with your family, spring and summer are great times for picnics.  

Originally thought to have started as social gatherings and banquets during medieval times, picnics are still loved today.  People pack things for sandwiches or do cookouts of hamburgers and hot dogs.  Arrays of salads, chips, and fruit are often found at picnics.  Whatever you wish to eat, smile and think about having a picnic.

Mom Always Said Eat Your Vegetables

June 17th is Eat Your Vegetables Day.  Gardens are flourishing with fresh vegetables so I hope you hit the Farmer's Market this weekend.  There any beautiful and delicious vegetables to choose from.  You could start the day with an omelette filled with peppers, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes...  Do you like salads with lots of greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers?  Maybe you want steamed broccoli and cauliflower with some cheese and garlic?  Or what about a nice veggie pizza or wrap for lunch?  Surveys have shown that the top liked vegetables are potatoes, corn, and broccoli with turnips and Brussels sprouts to be the least favorites.  Whichever vegetables you like or however you choose to eat them, make your mom - and doctor - proud and eat up!  

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's Day to all!  

Did you know that the idea for Father's Day actually originated on Mother's Day when a lady wanted to honor the father that raised her on his own.  What a great tribute and tradition!  Dads are amazing people and need to be cherished and told they are loved.  My father is amazing, and, of course, the best!  :)

Today is a day for family, friends, fun, food...Enjoy it all!

Are You a Mess in the Kitchen?

Have you ever spent hours working on dinner or dessert only to have it be a flop?  Do you seem to spill everything you open?  Or maybe you can't even seem to boil water right?  Whatever the case, today is for all of you....It's National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day!!!  Celebrate by giving yourself and your kitchen a day off.  Call in a pizza, stick with making a simple sandwich, or go out.  Whatever you decide to do with your meals, smile and know that you aren't the only one out there that asks, "How did I get flour everywhere when I wasn't even using it?"

Food Days this Week...Yum!

While the week may have started with office supplies, it will continue with food days.  Get your sweet tooth ready.  Today is National German Chocolate Cake Day.  Perfect for close to Father's Day at my house - my father loves a good German Chocolate cake.  A piece to you, Dad!  And my mother isn't forgotten either...tomorrow, June 12th, is Peanut Butter Cookie Day!  Enjoy!

It's Ballpoint Pen Day!

    Ballpoint pens - do you buy them by the dozen or keep a precious hold on the ones you have...  We all use them, and, according to an office theft survey PaperMate did 100% of responders say they've stolen one at one time.  People are always walking off with pens.  It's habit, by accident, or maybe because they just liked the color or way it wrote.  Whatever the reason, pens are 2X as likely to go missing as any other supply.  So, on this Monday morning, as you go into the office keep a close eye on your pen.

Enjoy the Water this Weekend!

This weekend brings World Oceans Day on the 8th and Donald Duck Day on the 9th.  So quack like a duck or swim like a fish; whatever you do celebrate the water in style!

National Doughnut -or Donut - Day!

Today is my first Friday as a blogger, and it is the perfect day for this site.  The first Friday in June is National Doughnut Day!  Enjoy a free donut (some places you have to purchase a beverage) at participating Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts, and LaMar's shops.  A great way to start your Friday and kick off your weekend.  Maybe even have one with sprinkles on it!  Enjoy!    

June 6 celebrates the first drive in movie theater opening.  

So go pile friends and family in the car and take in a movie.  

Maybe even have a piece of applesauce cake since today is also 

National Applesauce Cake Day! :)
