Family and Friends
WORLD CARING DAY reminds us how important we are to each other. Reach out to others, offer up a smile, handshake, or hug. Everyone deserves to know that they are cared for.
Education and Information
On this day in 1769, Daniel Boone began his journey of exploring the forests and lands of Kentucky. DANIEL BOONE DAY honors the man who fought in the Revolutionary War, was captured, and eventually adopted by the Shawnee and carved out trails and settlements all along the way. He found his way to Missouri and decided to make it his home until the day he died. Evidence of his wanderings can be found in the many towns, bridges, trails, and other entities that have been named for him.
Celebrate the great outdoors with…
There is no excuse not to get outside today with NATIONAL PLAY OUTSIDE DAY, NATIONAL TRAILS DAY, and NATIONAL PRARIE DAY. Get some fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. If you happen to be hiking on those trails, just beware of NATIONAL BLACK BEAR DAY. They may look cute, but bear hugs are not.
For Fun
If you still have VCR tapes in your house, raise your hand. My hand is raised. NATIONAL VCR DAY celebrates the technological marvel that invaded our homes in the 80’s. These machines not only brought Hollywood to our living rooms but allowed us to tape home movies and record any TV shows we wanted.
Belly up to the Bar
Next, we have NATIONAL BUBBLY DAY. Grab a bottle of your favorite sparkling wine or champagne and celebrate life and all of its goodness.
On Today’s Menu…
Our dessert of the day tastes good any time of the year. NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DAY takes this simple scoop of creamy goodness and gives it its own day. By itself or with whatever add-ins you like, celebrate with a bowl or cone today.
