NATIONAL WILDLAND FIREFIGHTER DAY

July 2 honors the dedicated personnel who coordinate their efforts to protect the nation’s wildlands. It’s also a day to remember the sacrifice made each time a firefighter steps into a wildland fire.

Every year, wildfires burn millions of acres across the United States. Federal, state, local, military, contract, international firefighters and support staff respond to many different emergency events. These amazing individuals are the backbone of the wildland fire community. The men and women who work to save lives, property, infrastructure and precious natural and cultural resources every year, deserve incredible gratitude for their professional skills and efforts.

Wildland firefighters are highly trained emergency responders. They are an essential part of a coordinated effort across agencies to respond to wildland fires and other natural emergencies. They comprise crews on the ground, air support, smokejumpers, and incident management teams.

NATIONAL HOT DOG MONTH

Hot Diggity Dog! July is National Hot Dog Month. So, grab your dog and toppings and add your own flair on this American classic!

Now that the weather has warmed up and gotten nice outside, grilling season is upon us. It’s time to fire up those grills and buy some juicy hamburgers, sausages, and of course, hot dogs!

The exact origins of hot dogs are unknown, but likely their predecessor was brought over by immigrants. What we do know, however, is how they are made, and what goes into them. Hot dogs are usually pork or beef, but they can be made from poultry as well. The meat is put into a machine to be finely ground until it resembles a paste or batter (don’t look it up, trust us). Spices added to enhance the flavor of a hot dog. Some brands add sugar or corn syrup for sweetness. Preservatives are also added to extend the shelf life of the product.

WORLD UFO DAY

World UFO Day commemorates two separate dates June 24 and July 2 on the National Day Calendar. The June 24 date recognizes the first widely reported UFO sighting in 1947 by aviator Kenneth Arnold. The July 2 date commemorates the incident that took place the same year in Roswell, New Mexico.

I cannot believe that HSN omitted the ingredients for Joy’s new cleaning for fruits and veggies. It’s all natural ingredients, but for people who have allergy issues, not a good thing. I even checked Amazon. Either Joy bought out the father and daughter team that started this product, or she is helping them along the way. Ingredients are not listed on Amazon either. I will wait for the price to go down on this item along with the shipping costs and the reviews prior to purchasing. Over 34,000 were sold.

Sending prayers to you and your family. I am praying for better days ahead.

Hubby seemed to be better yesterday. Today he was coughing up a storm. I have no idea why. The A/C was off when I arrived and was still off when I left. A call will be made tomorrow morning for the physician. The nurse on duty did try to reach him, but there was no answer. I have a feeling that he took this week off because of the 4th of July. You would think there would be a backup. Well, the head nurse has been notified. I will keep you posted.

Here’s to a great evening. Stay safe. Not as humid tonight, however it is cloudy so the moon and stars are well hidden.

Oodie, Wanted to let you know the ingredients for the Neck Armour are posted. You have to scroll down, and look above the reviews. I thinks it’s still at the ts. $.
Take care!

Sheba, Very sorry for your loss. Very Sad.
Thinking of you and sending hugs.

@sheba2011

Hello Sheba, how are you doing? I hope your sinus is better.
I am sorry for your loss, Sheba. It’s sad to have a young person lose their life.
Sending prayers to you and your family.

It’s been hot and humid here. The bunnies are so cute and come every day.
There’s a baby bunny that comes with the mama. But he stays close to the entry of the woods.

Take care Sheba 🌹

@sheba2011

I hope you are having a calm and easy day and your sinuses are better. Our weather is gorgeous, actually put a sweater on this morning since it cooled off so much. No a/c or fans running, just windows and doors open enjoying the cool breezes.😊 Getting warmer tomorrow.🔥

Continued prayers for your whole family.🙏 Big hugs and kisses for you and Poppy.🤗💖
