Going for a little drive on the moon in 1971
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
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
WORLD RANGER DAY gives a tip of our Smokey the Bear Hats to the folks who take care of our forests, parks and preserves. Their skill set ranges from mechanic, to vet, to firefighter, to policeman to public relations and on to teacher. It looks like fun, spending most of your time outdoors in beautiful settings, but it is a lot of work. Thank you for everything you do.
Our Furry Friends
NATIONAL MUTT DAY wags its tail and gives a big old WOOF! All dogs are worthy of love, but there is something about a mutt that just draws you in. Give yours a scratch and a treat.
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL AVOCADO DAY brings on the healthiness. They are tasty, full of heart healthy Omega 3 fatty acids, are good for your skin, target insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s and make one heck of a guacamole dip.
Our dessert of the day is perfect for summer. RASPBERRY CAKE DAY is delightful and tasty. No need to sweat in the kitchen over this one – it’s too hot outside – run down to your favorite bakery, pick one up and enjoy.
