NATIONAL PEACH ICE CREAM DAY

National Peach Ice Cream Day on July 17 sweetens the summer heat with a few scoops right at the peak of peach season. Because peaches begin peaking in July, this celebration arrives at the perfect time. Plus, it lands right in the middle of National Ice Cream Month, making it an excellent time to add a fresh, seasonal fruit flavor to your frozen treat rotation.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I hope your area get sweet gentle
rain and not anything cray cray. We all need some rain just not a flood.

I hope you check the rehab before you venture out to visit hubs. Oz is warm today
and the rest of the weekend. This is Summer. 😎🎈

If you are able enjoy some good Ice Cream and at least hubs can eat some too. 💕
I have had a busy day doing this and that I never sit still. LOL!

Please be careful while out and about. 😎

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California and I hope all is well with your family. 🎈

Take care and enjoy the trails. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈Lady is the fire affecting your City? I pray for all those
affected by this fire from Canada. I have a full plate today and I am doing the very best
I can. Well at least I am moving. 😎

Oz might get a drop of rain later today. I hope so we had some yesterday and it was good.

Just having a little fun with the images today. 😎 Hey be very careful with certain fruits
and veggies be sure to wash real good. I have always washed my fruits and veggies.
Lady these foods cost a lot and to get sick off of them well that just not cool. Good grief!

Wishing you and Jake a cool afternoon. I am so glad you got to see your mother and sister. 💕😎
All we can do today is chill. 💕

@sheba2011

Hi to busy you. The Canadian fires sure are affecting the area.🔥 All the county pools are closed, some golf courses are closed, the amusement parks and water parks are closed and it is being left up to the vendors of the Picklesburgh Festival if they want to stay open. It is a four day event and ranked one of the best specialty food festivals in the U.S.🥒 We are supposed to get strong storms overnight and tomorrow which should wash away the smoke. Be glad you don’t live here right now.

I am going to chill out this evening with a glass of wine and my feet up.🍷 You should join me after your busy day. Sending cool hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening and i would not do a single thing for the rest of the night.
OZ will be in triple digits for the next few days. 😎

Lady i am going to tell you what I mean by being busy today. I was doing the thread and
suddenly remembered I had a doctor’s appt. I had about 20 minutes to get there
and I made it and all went well. I then came back and finished the thread. I stopped
at CVS to pick up meds. I made sure the cats and enough food and water due to the
heat and managed to do some laundry before the rate goes up at 4:00 p.m.

I would have started the thread after the doctor’s visit but I have things going on and I
forgot which made me rush. 😎🎈

Tell me I don’t need a drink. LOL!

I am going back outside and watch the half moon and I have a birds eye view from my
porch Miss Kitty is with me. The Possum will come later to eat. I took food across the street
a few minutes I want to make sure Kitty Kitty eat. 😎

I will be watching soccer game tomorrow and let’s not forget Sunday Big Game. 😎🎈💕

Sweet dreams my friend and take it easy. 💕

Conditions are never perfect, if you want to start then start. If you want to start something today is a good day to begin, something we can all get hung up on is we have to be in the right “state of mind” or “the right time in our lives” well that doesn’t always work as out as planned…if you want to start posting your outfits, your morning routines, writing your memoir, making your art, or you’re ready for a pivot, a new career path …whatever it is…yes you may be afraid but key is to just start. Let’s give it a try this week, because why not? Show up for yourself and your dreams! If more is calling you…the. Go for it. Nervously and imperfectly just show up.

NATIONAL CHERRY DAY

Every year on July 16, National Cherry Day invites us to celebrate one of summer’s most beloved fruits–the cherry. Whether you love sweet cherry treats or tart cherry delights, cherries area true summertime treat that always delivers a burst of delicious flavor.

NATIONAL DOLE WHIP® DAY

We are on mission to encourage everyone to try a true-to-fruit-soft serve because today is National Dole Whip® Day! Each year on the third Thursday in July, we share our love for the fruity-licious flavor it brings to people around the world.

NATIONAL AI DAY

Today is July 16 on the National Day Calendar and we are acknowledging the remarkable progress and pervasive influence of Artificial Intelligence on National AI Day. Join the conversation about the responsible integration of AI in society.

Artificial Intelligence has been around longer than people realize. In fact, the idea of AI started in 1950 when Alan Turing published “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” and presented the question of whether a machine could “think for itself.” In 1951, Marvin Minsky and Dean Edmonds created one of the first artificial neural networks (SNARC). By 1952, Arthur Samuel developed a checkers-playing program that could learn from its own experience, proving that machines could learn from their mistakes.

John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence” in 1956 while at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence. John, along with several other researchers interested in the project, gathered to create systems that could mimic the thought process of humans, including solving problems and improving learning. The research project brought some of the brightest minds in computing and cognitive science at the time.

NATIONAL CORN FRITTERS DAY

Move over, corn on the cob! National Corn Fritters Day on July 16 is the ultimate excuse to drop everything, heat up the oil, and fry up a batch of the crispiest, most flavorful bites of summer. Packed with sweet, juicy kernels held together by a light, golden batter, these little morsels are pure comfort food. While they are a certified crowd-pleaser all year round, making them with peak-season fresh summer corn takes this celebration to a whole new level.

NATIONAL PERSONAL CHEF DAY

Each year on July 16, National Personal Chef Day recognizes the dedication, skill, and hard work of personal chefs across the United States. While many people confuse them with private chefs, these independent culinary entrepreneurs play a unique role in shaping how we eat, bringing bespoke, nutritious, and convenient meals directly to our tables.

GET TO KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS DAY

Get to Know Your Customers Day reminds businesses to reach out to patrons and get to know them better. The day is observed annually on the third Thursday of each quarter (January, April, July, October).

When businesses get to know their customers, they also get to know more about what they need to grow. Remember when Main Street businesses were locally owned and operated? The owners knew you by name and knew your shopping habits. Additionally, they typically knew what you wanted to buy. Not surprisingly, they were willing to get it in for you if they didn’t have it.

Good Morning Peeps and have fun in the HSN Community. 😎🎈

Keep it cool and safe out there.

@oodiebom,

Good day and may this be a joyful day for you and hubby. 😎🎈

Keep it cool and hydrated.

@sheba2011

Well, looks like we will be getting some much needed rain starting sometime tomorrow. Not sure if this will eventually turn tropical,l but the rain is oh so necessary. No rip current statements or the flags for the boaters. Things could change anytime. Yes, wind is expected. I will be moving empty ceramic planters just in case. The rehab abuts the Manatee River which could be a questionable thing by Saturday or Sunday. The rehab usually evacuates to their sister places in Orlando. We have already been alerted to street flooding that may or may not occur. We expect over 8 inches of rain over the next three or four days. It won’t knock the drought situation out, but will make it a bit more palabitable.

@taci,

Good morning I hope all is well with you and your family. Oz is blazing hot. 😎

Enjoy the trails. 🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎I know it’s hot as hades! Just sending you a nice
shout out and I hope you get to see your mother and sister. 💕

Mr. Poppy is doing well from his wound. 😎💕🎈

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 😎

@sheba2011

Another hot one and now we have the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. There is a nice haze over the area and I hope I can see out the windows tomorrow. What a week!😖

I did go to see mom and sis today and not much new with them. Not even sure they missed me, lol!

Staying in tomorrow since we have all this lovely air quality. I hope I’m not back to coughing next week. Sending crisp, clean hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

You’re No Good
Song by Linda Ronstadt

Feelin’ better now that we’re through
Feelin’ better, ’cause I’m over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I broke a heart that’s gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I’ll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn’t blame him if he said to me
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m tellin’ you now, baby
And I’m going my way
Forget about you, baby
‘Cause I’m leavin’ to stay
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
Oh, oh, no
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good

Blue Bayou
Song by Linda Ronstadt

I feel so bad, I got a worried mind
I’m so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working ’til the sun don’t shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I’m going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I’ll feel better again
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working ’til the sun don’t shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I’m going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be
Oh, that boy of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away
This hurting inside
Well, I’ll never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

Feeling Good
Song by Nina Simone

Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by, you know how I feel
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me, yeah
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me, ooh
And I’m feeling good
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me
And I’m feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know?
Butterflies all havin’ fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that’s what I mean
And this old world, is a new world
And a bold world for me, yeah-yeah
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me
I’m feeling good

NATIONAL HOT DOG DAY

Nothing says summer quite like a sizzling frankfurter fresh off the grill, nestled in a pillowy bun. Whether you call it a wiener, a frank, a footlong, or a red hot, National Hot Dog Day, celebrated every year on the third Wednesday in July, is the ultimate excuse to indulge in this iconic American staple.

NATIONAL GIVE SOMETHING AWAY DAY

It’s time to share our bounty, clear the clutter, and kickstart a wave of radical generosity!

NATIONAL I LOVE HORSES DAY

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie how are you doing? I know hot I think
everyone is hot. I am going back and forth making sure the animals have plenty of fresh
water.

Hubby was up extra early and saw my favorite black cat his name for the past 3 and half years
is Kitty Kitty. 💕😘I named him that when he first came to me. Miss Kitty is bossy and don’t
want him on the porch which is his to begin with. Hubby went out at 3:00 a.m. he took
food across the street for Kitty Kitty. 💕I take food every single day and water. I want him
back on the porch. I love Miss Kitty too but she is a female and like to boss other cats LOL!
There are two she does not mess with because they fight her back and ain’t having it.
They come and go as they please and I like that. 💕I am trying to teach her to leave the
other cat alone. If you challenge her she will back off. Kitty Kitty is a calm cat he does not
bother anyone I have been off in the night with my gun to protect him from other critters.
I have no problem using my little gun and I can back that up. 😎

I am hoping you are still getting some good solid rain in your area.
OZ will have rain at some point tonight into tomorrow. 😘🎈💕😎

@sheba2011

I was with hubby last night and left early dye to a headache. I was able to drive home OK and
went to bed. I forgot that I had clothes in the dryer, so around midnight I rescyued them I happened to tyurn and saw lightning. At first I thought it was heat related, but then saw a streak.
Not much rain with this storm. But it told me it was the barometer that was causing the headache.

So far, today I am OK, though not seeing hubs. I did stop at the Farmer’s Market yesterday and hubs enjoyed his homemade potato soup . The A/C was almost non existant and hubs was complaining how warm it was. He somehow managed to get the bottom and top sheet off the bed. The mattress had no cover and I could now see why he was uncomfortable. This will be something for me to look at before purchasing. The room also needs to be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant. I hope to be there tomorrow to check it out.

Haave a great evening. Hope Kitty Kitty will have enough courage to return. At least you two are not letting him go hungry. 😉😉😉🎵🎹

@oodiebom,

Good Evening and I am glad you are doing better. Cool rain is on the way to OZ. 😎
This is just for one day.

Oodie Kitty Kitty has courage he just does not like to fight. Miss Kitty knows how to fight
and I’ve seen her do it well and the other cats fight back that’s when she pulls back.
I want Kitty Kitty to stand his ground and I will be watching. I cannot stand a bully. 😎

This porch was his first he came first and has been here for over 3 and half years. So
say what! I am working on this issue I enjoy his company and I am the only human contact
he has I don’t want to lose that. 💕We have spent years together just looking at each other.
I could see him in my security camera coming and going all night eating and just laying on
the porch. I like Miss Kitty too she has been with me for over a year and she is a joy.
I have other cats but they just want to eat and run. Miss Kitty is outside right now laying
on the porch that is what Kitty Kitty use to do. No worries I am working on it. 😎

My neighbor has no problem with me leaving food and water on her patio for the cat
as his home is in her evergreen bushes and has been for years.

Enjoy stay cool tonight and just take it easy tomorrow is another day. 🎈💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and hope all is well with you and your family. 🎈

Take care.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎I am having such a busy day I have lost track of time.
I am having a this and that day. LOL!

The weather has a lot to do with it. I make sure I water my plants and flowers and I feed them
too. 💕I do have the best in my area. I am so glad we will rain tonight into tomorrow the rain
is the best water for them. 💕😎

This is what I am drinking today H20. 😎💕 I am also enjoying a nice juicy Georgia Peach.

I enjoy our little dinner last night I am thinking of what to make tonight that is light.
I know Salmon is not a bad choice. I love Salmon with lemon pepper.

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

@sheba2011

A hot howdy from the ‘burgh. No rain until the weekend for us. Ran down to the local market and got a hoagie and macaroni salad for dinner. Not in the mood for any warm food today.

I think I will stop at mom’s tomorrow before she forgets what I look like.😂 I don’t think I have been to her house in almost a month since I was sick.

Feeding the kitties sounds like having a new baby. You run back and forth and hubs was on duty at 3:00 AM.🤣 You deserve an award.

Have a calm evening, cool hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening very warm in OZ. 😎No worries the A/C is on and I am wearing light
clothing. 💕

I am on cat patrol and I love what I do. This comes from the heart. 💕😎

Here is how you end the night with a little Vino. 🎈💕

Enjoy the night and sweet dreams. 😘😎
