NATIONAL SHRIMP SCAMPI DAY

National Shrimp Scampi Day on April 29th gives us a tasty way to celebrate. On this day, we honor the delicious dish of shrimp cooked with butter, garlic, lemon juice, and white wine.

NATIONAL ZIPPER DAY

National Zipper Day commemorates April 29, 1913, when the patent for the modern zipper was issued. The day celebrates something we often do not think about and may automatically take for granted.

NATIONAL PEACE ROSE DAY

Each year on April 29th, National Peace Rose Day honors a well-known and fruitful garden rose.

The light yellow to large cream-colored flowers of the Peace rose have slightly flushed crimson pink petal edges. It is a hybrid tea rose that is hardy, vigorous, and highly resistant to disease.

French horticulturist Francis Meilland developed the Peace rose between 1935 and 1939. When Meilland foresaw the German invasion of France to protect the new rose, he sent cutting to his friends in Italy, Turkey, Germany, and the United States. It is believed these cuttings were sent to the United States on the last plane available before the German invasion.

Each country that received a cutting gave the rose a different name. It was called “Madame A. Meilland” in honor of the breeder’s mother in France. Italy named the rose Gioia, meaning Joy. In Germany, the name of the rose was Gloria Dei, for glory to God. The United States named the rose “Peace,” and the national flower of the United States is the rose.

As the Second World War came to a close in Europe, the trade name “Peace” was publicly announced on April 29, 1945, by the Conrad Pyle Co. in the United States.

Later in 1945, Peace roses were given to each delegate at the inaugural meeting of the United Nations, in San Francisco, with a note that read: “We hope the Peace rose will influence men’s thoughts for everlasting world peace.”

@oodiebom,

Good evening come on over with your broom. LOL! 😎💕 I too am concerned about
Xango. I am sure if it was something major she would post. I do hope all is well with
her and her family.

The colors sounds very tranquil and calming. I don’t think your husband cares what
the house looks like as long as the safe measures are in place. The Ramp, the bathroom
and the Bed are at the top of the list. The rest can be done as time goes on.

I hope you are pleased if you get more samples. 💕

Just having your husband home is inspiration enough you both can pick and choose.

So sorry about your meds we have a law in Kansas it has to be written like the doctor ordered.

You were given a recall? I am trying to wrap my head around that one. Oodie I do hope
you handle this one. I get you missing your father. 💕

I wish your husband had a better room mate and it may happen.

I hope you get the much needed rain in Florida. 💕😎

Oz will get plenty in about a couple of hours. All the animals have been fed.

I would not hold my breath too long mother nature can be fickle and pop a good
rain at anytime. 💕😎

@shoelady60,

Good evening I always like to start the evening saying that. 💕😘

I love meat loaf and so does hubby. I think we cook alike and that is fine with me. 💕

I do try to save for left overs for lunch or another dinner meal.

I was happy to get good pieces of meat with very little fat. I can never get enough
Noodles. 💕A salad is a must especially with orange and red peppers it gives the salad
that pop. Hubby likes French Dressing and I like the original Hidden Valley Dressing. 💕

The night is quiet for now but soon we have a hard thunder storm on the way.

Here is a little something to help you enjoy your evening. 😎💕

Wham! Lyrics
“Freedom”

Everyday I hear a different story
People saying that you’re no good for me
“Saw your lover with another, and she’s making a fool of you.”

If you loved me baby, you’d deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby and I don’t understand

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to heck and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can’t escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys

You take my hand and tell me I’m a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you: someday, baby
Someone says the same to you

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to heck and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

Oh oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Do do do do do
Can’t you see you’re hurting me?
Do do do do do

You’re hurting me, baby
Hurting me, baby

Oh oh

Do do doo doo

You’re hurting me baby
Hurting me baby

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t need to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down

I don’t want your
I don’t want your
I don’t want your
