@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie how does your mouth feel?
Take it easy today and stay hydrated.

I am glad your husband has a new room mate and hope they get along well.
Oodie I really like the first room mate he noticed everything according to your
writings. 😎

Turn that A/C up and stay cool. Oodie you cannot live in Kansas without Central Air
all over your house. The humidity alone is enough to make life not cool in the hot
months. I don’t care what the bill is I want to be comfortable. 🎈💕😎

Let me know how you are doing today when you have the time. 😎🎈

@xango,

NATIONAL PEACHES ‘N’ CREAM DAY

Observed annually on June 21, National Peaches ‘n’ Cream Day recognizes a sweet way to eat ripened peaches. It’s also a perfect way to begin and end the summer solstice.

Peaches’ n’ Cream is a simple, traditional, and delicious summertime dessert. Of course, the Georgia peach is in season during the month of June, as are those grown in Florida, California, and South Carolina. Make some homemade vanilla ice cream to sweeten the deal, and your peaches’ n’ cream will be all the cooler.

Almost any seasonal fruit goes well with chilled cream, and peaches are no exception. The sweetness of the fruit combines with the silkiness of the cream for a refreshing summer treat. It’s so delicious, we keep coming back for more!

It’s interesting to note that doctors theorize Typhoid Mary may have spread the bacteria through cut up raw peaches in frozen ice cream. So, wash those hands vigorously!

With peaches just coming into season, it’s a good time to keep an eye out for them. Generally speaking, there are two types of peaches – freestone and clingstone. The flesh determines the kind of peach. How the flesh comes away from the stone or the pit in the middle of the peach gives it the name. When the meat comes away freely from the stone, the peach is a freestone peach; if the flesh clings to the peach, it’s a clingstone.

GO SKATEBOARDING DAY

Inspired skaters carve a space on their calendar on June 21 each year for Go Skateboarding Day! A combination of athleticism, dance, and art, skateboarding has grown up in an urban world.

Skateboarding crosses multicultural divides and speaks to a diverse population. Skaters test the laws of gravity with a variety of ariels and twists, thrilling their fans. Retailers, sponsors, parks, and individuals around the world host events showcasing this rebellious and creative culture. It makes perfect sense we celebrate a day that is entirely for the skater enthusiasts.

Since the 1950s, skateboarding has been changing and advancing. Beginning with modified surfboards in California, the sport grew into a worldwide phenomenon. The first skateboards were shorter surfboards upgraded with wheels. Since then, every modification has enabled skateboarders to develop more sophisticated and higher tricks.

NATIONAL TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY

Every year on the Friday after Father’s Day, employees across the country bring their dogs for National Take Your Dog to Work Day. A celebration of the companionship between canine and human, National Take Your Dog to Work Day hopes to inspire others to adopt from shelters and humane societies.

Those in the pet supply business may find this to be an everyday occurrence. With pets being central to their business platform, employees bring their dogs to work frequently. Companies such as Petco, Petsmart, Mars Petcare, Trupanion, and Nestle Purina Petcare all have pet-friendly policies. So, every day is Take Your Dog to Work Day at these companies.

However, not only pet companies are dog friendly these days. Tech and marketing businesses seem to be next in line for offering this perk to employees. Amazon, Airbnb, Procore Technologies, Vungle, and Radio Systems Corporation are just a few of the companies across the nation supporting pet-friendly policies.

Are there benefits to having a dog by your side all day? As any business knows, policies like these come with pros and cons.

Pros of Pet-Friendly Policies

Perhaps the number one benefit of dogs at work is the reduced stress for most employees. Studies have shown pets in the workplace not only reduce stress but also increase productivity.
Which brings us to the second benefit. Employees who take breaks to care for their dog tend to be more productive than those who plow through their work. They come back to their desk refreshed and energized, ready to refocus.
Employees are healthier and so are their dogs because both are getting more physical activity.
The pet also gets more social interaction, not only from the dog owner but from the entire office.
Overall, dogs bring a morale boost to the entire office. Not very many can resist the affection of a loveable pup.
Pet-friendly businesses retain their employees longer and are more attractive to future employees.

Cons of Pet-Friendly Policies
The job satisfaction of employees with allergies or phobias are greatly affected.
Risk of injury to employees or other dogs increase the legal risk.
Dogs that are not well-trained lead to distractions in the office.
What do potential clients think? If dogs on the premises continually turn away dollars, the pros may not matter.
