Conversation 25
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is number 25 out of the
series. I created and started this thread 10 years ago.
I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe. 🌹✨😎

NATIONAL UTAH DAY
On May 31st, we celebrate The Beehive State on National Utah Day!
Utah became the 45th state on January 4, 1896, and is home to The Great Salt Lake, a deeply rooted Native American heritage, and a far-reaching desert history.
Travel in the footsteps of Utah’s namesake, the Utes, or the Shoshone, Navajo or Goshute. Follow the trails of early explorers or Mormon settlers. They all lived among the natural arches and bridges formed long ago. These architectural wonders of nature are a cornerstone of Utah.
Find treasure everywhere you look. From the sunrise to the spiraling cliffs and the bejeweled night sky. Catch an unobstructed view of the Milky Way for miles or schedule a trip just in time for a meteor shower. Since Utah has significantly less light pollution, night star viewing is spectacular!
Discover why some still believe the world flat by visiting Bonneville Salt Flats. Home of land speed records and a barren environment, the salt flats were once part of a much larger lake. The Great Salt Lake is one of its remnants.

NATIONAL SMILE DAY | MAY 31
On May 31st, National Smile Day encourages everyone to wear their best smile!
The first recorded smile on record took place on 126 B.C. Okay, we made that up. But did you smile? Joking aside, we generate a smile when funny things happen or find pleasure in the things we do. Someone we love or enjoy spending time with may be the cause of a grin or beaming look of joy.
Smiles are powerful! They not only create engagement between two people but the more a person smiles, the healthier their brain can be. Smiling has a direct link to our brain and can help to reduce stress.
There is so much a smile can do. Just one smile can brighten someone’s day. It can also improve your day. Smiles are infectious. A healthy smile can develop confidence and generate a new outlook on the world.

NATIONAL MACAROON DAY | MAY 31
Each year on May 31st, National Macaroon Day celebrates the small coconut cookie that is full of flavor and variety, too. Do not mistake these with the delicate sandwich cookies called macarons. No, these small, but substantial cookies hold their own despite the sometimes mistaken identity. For coconut lovers, this day summons up a little bit of bliss.
The Italians receive credit for creating these sweet morsels sometime around the 8th or 9th century. The recipes later traveled to France. However, in other parts of the world, the once flourless cookie served its purpose during religious observances.
Coconut is one of those love-hate ingredients. ~Chef Marcus Samuelsson
Eventually, the cookie made its way to the United States, where the coconut macaroon takes only a few ingredients to make. Shredded coconut serves as the main ingredient. Usually sweetened, the coconut may also be toasted. Other ingredients include flour, sugar or sweetened condensed milk, and egg whites and flavoring. Once the ingredients are combined, the mixture is dropped by spoonfuls onto baking sheets and baked. Most varieties of coconut macaroons are dipped in milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate. Almonds, pecans, cashews, or other nuts are sometimes added to the cookie.
This cookie is easy to make, even a beginner can succeed with the simple recipe.

Good evening I talk about my Tudor House all the time. I have a full remodel basement
that looks better than some people’s apartment just saying in case we have to be down
there a bit it’s our family room. This large finished space has TV, Computer, Radio and all
things comfortable. I have never lived in Oz without a basement or Central Air those are the
two things I must have. 😎It’s not so bad all the time tonight we are in the 60’s with rain on the way. I say bring it.
Hubby did the yards when he got home from work. 💕😘😎I want to go to a different place too later down the pike and I am looking very closely at
Colorado due to the fact I have many blood relatives. 💕Hey I hope your son do get a promotion. 🎈 Don’t over do the hiking I hope it cools down
a bit there in S. California. 💕I am still thinking about the young actor who was killed. -

Sheba, If people are a bit prepared then it makes things easier to live in Tornado Alley. I might be too old to try it. I did live in WI for HS and the area had Tornadoes and sirens for the Farmers.
I recall the term Lake affect and we lived near it so they rarely touched down. I remember all the info Cindy once posted about her relatives in TX and it was tragic. Probably heading to AZ at some point but still don’t want to up and leave my son. If he gets a promotion or new job and it’s in AZ then we are outta here.
Hiked today inland a bit, and it was about 80, too hot but good to get it done,
Have a great evening. Hope your house has a basement! -
