Hurricane Irene Strikes the Outer Banks – 2011
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
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Celebrate You with…
JUST BECAUSE DAY encourages us to break from the norm and do something for no other reason than – just because. Is there a place you always wanted to visit? How about a hobby you always wanted to try? Today is the day to try something for which you need no excuse to do so.
For Fun
WORLD ROCK PAPER SCISSORS DAY comes to us from the World Rock Paper Scissors Association in Ottawa, Ontario. There is only one way to celebrate this one so…three, two, one – go! I threw scissors.
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL PEACH DAY is, well… peachy. Bite into one of these succulent fruits today or make a peach pie, peach smoothie, peaches and cream…you get the idea.
Our dessert of the day gives us an excuse to break out our little ramekins. You know, those little ceramic cups that you can bake and eat out of. POTS DE CRÈME DAY celebrates this loose custard that is smooth and creamy. Little cups of this flavorful dish will bring a big taste to please your palate.
