@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. 😘😎🎈Thank you for your post yesterday. We are frozen
here in OZ. I was out trying to feed and make sure the cats were doing alright.

I have the sniffles this morning but I still went walking with Mr. Poppy. 😘💕I treated him
real well when we got back home dare I say it was in the 20’s but sunny.

Well ole man winter is here and he is not going anywhere anytime soon. Fall was so quick
this is why I enjoy it so much the beauty of leaves and the feel good temps. 💕😘😎

I have a lot going on this month. I love Chewy and will be ordering a lot from them. 💕🎈

Lady I do remember when Chewy the Roses I thought was so sweet. 😘😎🎈💕

Still sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 💕🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 🎈😎Taci thank you for your post from yesterday. I appreciate
your kind thoughts about my family.

I know your hair color is stunning and I love the fact that a 94 year old woman was doing
the same thing I love that. My mom is not that age yet but is known for keeping her nails
and toes done. My mom has beautiful hair. 💕😘

I am going to treat myself this weekend. I need a facial and I love how it feels all my nerves
seems to relax I may even do a full body massage this is busy month for a lot of people.

Oz is cold today still got that walk in with Poppy and I did give him a nice treat. 😘💕
Happy Trails where ever you go.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎I am loving your temps right about now we
are in the low 30’s but we have the Sun.

Thank you for your thoughts on the Cancer treatment so far she is fighting. My brother
is holding up alright. Our children that lives there are lending a helping hand to their
young children. 💕I don’t want my mother to worry. All of us was in Colorado in June
and I am so glad I saw everyone.

I do not like Hospitals for all the reasons I can think of I get lost in them. Oodie when I
surgery a few years ago I was in a Hospital it was the size of a small town. I did not mind
the walk it was too big.

Oodie take it easy with your back and let me know if your husband went back to Rehab.
I hope he is doing well. Drive safe because it’s the season.

Enjoy the day. 🎈

NATIONAL GAZPACHO DAY

National Gazpacho Day, on December 6th, recognizes a flavorful soup that cooks serve cold. This typically tomato-based vegetable soup originated in the southern Spanish region of Andalucia. Gazpacho is widely consumed in Spanish cuisine, usually during the summer months.

MITTEN TREE DAY

On December 6th, Mitten Tree Day celebrates the gift of warmth. It’s a day to collect mittens, hang them on a Christmas tree, and then hand them out to those in need.

Those who live in cold climates understand the necessity of mittens. This winter clothing item is essential for keeping the hands warm while outdoors. Unfortunately, however, there are many children around the world who are without adequate winter clothing, which includes mittens.

Mittens have been around for hundreds of years. Those in cold climates made mittens from fur, animal skin, and whatever other materials could be found to keep the hands warm. Many believe the oldest mittens come from Latvia and are over 1,000 years old. Latvians didn’t just use mittens to keep their hands warm, however. When Latvian women married, they were given a hope chest with several pairs of knitted mittens. The unique patterns on the mittens had specific meanings. Some patterns signified a blessing for their home while other patterns were used to bless members of their families.

One of the earliest known mittens in the United States dates back to 1803. The mitten contained a poem knitted into the wool. During the Civil War, Abby Condon produced hand-knitted mittens for soldiers, and she recruited women from all over New England to help her. About 1,500 workers produced 15,000 mittens in just one year.

So as you can see, all throughout history, mittens have been given away as gifts and for those in need. This special day helps to keep this tradition alive.
