Celebrate You with…
Ahhh, it is a fine day to kick back and chill on NATIONAL RELAXATION DAY. Whatever you need to do to take some time and let all of your cares and worries slip away, do it. Find your mode of relaxation and don’t let anything get in the way.
Education and Information
NATIONAL BACK TO SCHOOL PREP DAY reminds us that the new school year is right around the corner. It’s a good time to make sure you have everything you need to rock this semester.
For Fun
NATIONAL LEATHERCRAFT DAY is brought to us by Tandy Leather. From saddles to jackets to shoes to belts and purses, the list of items to craft with the cow hide is endless. Take up a class, check out some leathery works of art or splurge on a new jacket.
On Today’s Menu…
Our dessert of the day may make you pucker up a little. LEMON MERINGUE PIE DAY brings the sweetness with a little sour, but it ends up working very nicely together. First you bite into the fluffy meringue, then you taste the lemon filling, followed by the shortbread crust. I have about talked myself into a piece.

Happy Birthday to…
And the best is saved for last. Today is my awesome brother-in-law’s birthday. He is always looking to help you out – it makes sense with him – Career state trooper followed by another career working at a Sheriff’s department as well as being the emergency coordinator for the State of South Carolina. I hope today finds you on the golf course playing your best game ever.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!!!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
Enjoy the day and make it your own
