OK, let’s get WORK LIKE A DOG DAY out of the way. Dog’s do work pretty hard (not mine) and don’t seem to mind it at all. So, buckle down, get busy, and git ‘er done.
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
Here is a shout out to all of my fellow bloggers out there. BLOGGER DAY celebrates all of us who are just itching to inform, entertain, amuse and hopefully brighten up your day just a little bit.
Today’s Fashion Trends
I will be brief when it comes to NATIONAL UNDERWEAR DAY. Celebrate by wearing your favorite undies.
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL OYSTER DAY brings on the shell fish. Grilled, baked, boiled, or broiled these little sea creatures can be fixed with or without the shell. Put them in soups, stews or slurp them out of the shells. Served on a cracker with a little Tabasco Sauce is my way to eat them.
