NATIONAL IPA DAY

National IPA Day on the first Thursday in August celebrates the beer known as India Pale Ale Beer. Raise your glass on National IPA Day and enjoy this day with family and friends, while supporting your local craft brewers.

The IPA seems to have developed out of an idea from the 1700s when shipping ale to India, adding hops to the beer increased the longevity of the brew. Brewers thought that hops preserved the beer for long voyages to hot climates. One London brewer gained attention for his ability to brew this particular style of beer. George Hodgson shipped many casks of pale ales to India from London. However, no one knows for sure when or who coined the name India Pale Ale.

Brewers ferment barley to make India Pale Ales. Depending on the length of fermentation, the tannins may cause some bitterness in the beer, even after adding the hops. While IPAs have a reputation of being bitter and hoppy, not all are. They also tend to be crisper than other beers.

While the IPA is one of the most popular types of craft beers, it’s also making a resurgence with local microbreweries. Many are experiencing success as their brew finds its way into local restaurants and pubs.

Chapter 8 is here. 🦋

A time for endings and beginnings, a time for sultry nights and glorious days spent soaking up the remainder of the summer season.

Enjoy it. It’s going to be a good month. 🦋🫶🏻🤍🌊🐚

Enjoy Paris Heidi Daus. 😎🎈

@shoelady60,

Well the power did not stay on it was off again for a few hours but I was fine.
I don’t want to do that again in triple digit weather.

I have enjoy all the Olympic and the Girls were great! 😎🎈The men were so cool.
I love the Clark Kent glasses and they were so happy for that medal. Go USA!

Yeah you are right we do have some days coming up so let’s get this party started. 😎💕🎈

@oodiebom,

I have had the afternoon like no other. The power went out again after I posted it was
back on and it did not come back on until after 6:00 p.m. I am so glad hubby got home
with A/C. I was more worried about Poppy. We were going to go but something told me
to stay put as people will be everywhere.

I watch my use of all my energy sources. I always know when to water my plants and garden.

I like cold showers and I use cold water to wash in the summer time. We try to conserve as
best we can. I don’t need much heat as I am warm blooded but the one thing I don’t like
is the humid weather OZ have. So I will put on a small fan to control the temps.

I hope you got all your shopping one and done. I hope your husband got his Ice Cream. 💕😎

I have two flavors in the freezer and after a cool shower in Korres I will have a little bit. 😎💕

@xango,

OMG! You have a lot going on. First I am wishing your husband a speedy recovery.
I had relatives with issues with the Airports so I know how that is. Annoying!

How are you doing? Please keep that Mask on and do for your husband what you can.
My neighbor had Covid and did not know it this was in 2021 I was masking up I went
to check on him he begged me for soup I just happen to have some and I made him a bowl
which I let him keep. Well a few days later he went to ER and he had Covid. I would not have
went in had I know that we thought it was the flu which is just as bad. I am thankful I
wore my mask and gloves. I am glad to say he made a full recovery.

Well I lost a relative from a hot tub incident in Boulder and we took his ashes to Minnesota
to be with some of the family. My nephew is making a painful recovery from the hit and run.
We the family know he is very lucky a bystander came to his rescue. The Angels were looking
down on him. The relative that drowned has some health problems and we are still dealing
with this loss he was only 21 years old.

The loss of my father is coming up fast so my heart is in a gentle place.

I am so glad to hear from you and yes you were missed very much so. 😎🎈

I will not wear you out but I would like to know how things go when you have time
to post. Please stay masked up.

Oodiebom will be so pleased to see you post as we all are. 💕🎈

I’m Your Man
Song by Wham!

Oh
Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to, baby
But I know that you’re sad
And I know I’ll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that)
Don’t you know that?
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that)
You bet
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
So good, you’re divine
Wanna take you, wanna make you
But they tell me it’s a crime, oh
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we’re going baby
Ain’t no such word as no
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that)
Don’t you know who I am?
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that) (you know)
You bet
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me) (come on baby)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me) (ooh, take me home)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me) (please don’t leave me here)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right
To do it on my own
First class information
Sense your inspiration
And with some stimulation (oh)
We can do it right, oh
So, why waste time with the other guys
When you can have mine?
I ain’t askin’ for no sacrifice
Baby, your friends do not need to know
I’ve got a real nice place to go, listen
I don’t need you to care
I don’t need you to understand, yeah
All I want is for you to be there
And when I’m turned on, if you want me
I’m your man (I’m your man)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
Do it with me, now listen
If you’re gonna do it, you know what I say? (Do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, don’t throw it away (do it with me)
Don’t throw it baby, don’t throw it
Because
I’ll be your boy, I’ll be your man
I’ll be the one who understands
I’ll be your first, I’ll be your last
I’ll be the only one you ask
I’ll be your friend, I’ll be your toy
I’ll be the one who brings you joy
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your pearl
I’ll take you halfway ’round the world
I’ll make you rich, I’ll make you poor
Just don’t use the door
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)

Here’s looking at you. 😎

Goodbye July. 🎈
