The Mars Bar makes it’s debut on this day – 1932

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.

LABOR DAY brings an end to summer, a start to school and one last big hurrah before the colorful days of fall get here.  Get that grill sizzling or your picnic basket made up.  We have the unions to thank for our workplace conditions today, and a big thank you goes to anyone who is working or has worked.  Enjoy the spoils of your labor today and celebrate life.

Family and Friends

NATIONAL LAZY MOMS DAY looks to give Mom a break for the day.  With all of her care and work that never stops, she could use a little down time. So, give her a hand with things around the house or take her out for dinner so she doesn’t have to cook.

Celebrate You with…

ACNE POSITIVITY DAY encourages us to put our best face forward.  Don’t be so critical of your look, you are one gorgeous and unique individual, so show us what ya got.

Education and Information

NO RHYME NOR REASON DAY celebrates all of the words that don’t rhyme.  Orange, purple, woman, spirit, chimney and silver are just some of these non-rhyming words that make the list.

For Fun

AMERICAN CHESS DAY calls for a little friendly game.  Line up the pieces, plan your strategy and make your moves. 

PINK CADILLAC DAY celebrates the car that has been immortalized in song and on the screen.  Elvis drove one, Bruce sang about them, and Clint and Bernadette made a movie about one.

On Today’s Menu…

NATIONAL BURNT ENDS DAY is all about the crispy morsels left over from the brisket.  BBQ gurus have grilled and smoked these little pieces of meat into savory perfection.

Our dessert of the day is inspired by the English.  CHERRY POPOVER DAY combines Yorkshire pudding with the sweetness of cherries.  Take some egg batter, form it into rolls, top it with cherries and then bake. There will be a delicious treat waiting for you when it is finished.
