NATIONAL BEACH DAY

National Beach Day on August 30 celebrates all the sandy beaches across the nation. It also provides an opportunity to help keep those relaxing places clean, so we can continue to enjoy them long into the future.

Whether we spend time on beaches oceanside, at a lake or river, they provide recreation all summer long. Swimming, water sports, and sunbathing are just a few of the relaxing things that come to mind. We also enjoy playing Frisbee, volleyball and long walks. Floating along in the surf on a hot summer day with friends creates summer memories we remember for years to come.

Sometimes, just packing a few icy beverages and a good book is enough to make a beach day perfect. However, we are responsible for caring for the beach, too. Not only should we pack out what we pack in, but it’s necessary to follow the beach rules, also. Safety and fun go hand in hand.

NATIONAL TOASTED MARSHMALLOW DAY

On August 30, National Toasted Marshmallow Day celebrates one of America’s favorite fire-roasted treats. Be sure to stock up on marshmallows so you can celebrate!

Get your friends together and gather up some firewood. Grab a few long sticks and a bag of marshmallows. Then, make plans for a great night! Toasted marshmallows are a special part of summer evenings around a bonfire. Also, what better way to kick off a long weekend than to enjoy a delicious, warm, gooey, toasted marshmallow? Add a pair of graham crackers and a chocolate bar – and ask for s’more!

NATIONAL COLLEGE COLORS DAY

On the Friday before Labor Day, National College Colors Day encourages everyone to display their team spirit. Across the United States students, parents, family, fans, and alumni will be wearing their team colors. Be sure you’re celebrating by wearing your college team’s colors and apparel.

Team spirit has long been a foundation of cheering athletes to victory. Wearing the colors of the school as well as singing the school song goes along with the energy of the day. Not only does it bring back memories, but it carries on traditions. Sometimes, these traditions run deep, too.

Support your team and show your team spirit by wearing your college colors to the game or while watching it on TV. Rally the fans and show your team you know they will go for the win! Tailgating and pregame revelry are all part of the enjoyment of the season. Many alumni enjoy share memories of games from years past, especially the close ones, win or lose.

@shoelady60,

Good evening and enjoy your family this will be a busy weekend for all of us. 🎈😎💕

@taci,

Taci as you know the weather pattern has been strange to say the least all over.
We are getting ready to storm in a couple of hours. 💕🎈😎

Check on your son and have safe travels. So glad you got your shots. 🎈

@oodiebom,

All I can say is…

😎🎈💕😘

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. 😎

Sheba, 90 degrees in Oz is hot. Doesn’t your weather know it’s almost September and to cool down? It’s been warmer than usual here by day but cools nicely at night. Pretty good morning post, and love the colors. I like the new set from Heidi Daus that you purchased! Hubs is getting ready so early that it makes me do the same. We found a place outside of our medical provider to get both the flu and covid vaccines, by appt only.

Sheba, Loved her style!

Oodie, sorry about your water situation. Wow, sounds terrible.

I’ll take your wise advice about the airplane ride. We always get sick, i think because they cool the plane way down (which I understand is needed for health reasons) and then people around me start coughing due to the dry air. We plan 2-3 days down time each way. This time we will take 2 flights, (my request to hubs), with 2 short stops so i can get out of the plane. Hopefully, it will be a bit more pleasant.
