Queen Elizabeth II is coronated on this day in 1953 and officially begins her 70 year reign as Queen of England.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Education and Information
On this day in 1924, Congress decreed that all Native Americans are to become citizens of the U.S. AMERICAN INDIAN CITIZENSHIP DAY recognizes this event as well as honoring the culture, achievements, and contributions that all Native Americans have given us. Kinda seems a little backwards – considering that they were here first.
Celebrate Bubba with…
If you know anyone named Bubba – let ‘em know that today is their day. NATIONAL BUBBA DAY celebrates everything Bubba and was started by comedian T. Bubba Bechtol.
For Fun
NATIONAL LEAVE THE OFFICE EARLY DAY begs you to get permission first. I wouldn’t just do it unless you know it is ok. If you need an extra edge in getting out of there you can tell your boss Kev said it was ok.
I am putting NATIONAL CLEANING DAY under the “For Fun” category because for some people, cleaning is fun. This particular day started back in 2018 amidst all of the viral cleaning posts that were popping up on-line. Now, the day does not state specifically what to clean, so it could be your home, garage, car, mind or soul.
On Today’s Menu…
Now for a savory bite with NATIONAL ROTISSARIE CHICKEN DAY. A lot of people don’t have a rotisserie, so it’s a good thing you can go to your store and buy one already cooked. Make it the meal, use it as stock for your soup or shred it for barbeque (my sister taught me that one).
Our dessert of the day can give us a bumpy ride. NATIONAL ROCKY ROAD DAY is anything but rocky as it mixes the velvety goodness of chocolate ice cream with marshmallows and nuts. The origins of this heavenly creation are a little muddied…but who cares – scoop some out and enjoy.
