NATIONAL COFFEE MILKSHAKE DAY

Add National Coffee Milkshake Day on July 26 and coffee lovers to those who participate in National Ice Cream Month. Today, we are whipping up a caffeinated way to cooly celebrate one of the hottest times of the year.

While a milkshake sounds refreshing at the end of July, a coffee milkshake sounds even better. The combination of creamy ice cream blended with coffee perks up even the most extended workday. Add chocolate, and this treat becomes a mocha, too!

NATIONAL BAGELFEST DAY

National Bagelfest Day on July 26 recognizes the kosher carbohydrate that is crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Join us as we explore the delicious facts behind the bagel and add our own schmeer to the topic.

Polish-Jewish immigrants introduced the bagel to the United States some time during the 19th century. Throughout New York City and the surrounding boroughs, they grew thriving bagel businesses. Of course, it didn’t take long for the bagel bakers to form an organization for bagel bakers in the city. The International Beigel Bakers’ Union was created in 1907. For decades, Bagel Bakers Local 338 held contracts with nearly all bagel bakeries in and around the city for its workers.

NATIONAL ALL OR NOTHING DAY

Celebrated each year on July 26, National All or Nothing Day allows people to throw caution to the wind and go for broke. We all have dreams we hold back, decisions left to make, or plans uncompleted. On this day, people break free of everything holding them back.

NATIONAL PARENTS’ DAY

National Parents’ Day honors all parents on the fourth Sunday in July. No matter where our parents may be, this day serves to celebrate their important role in our lives.

In May we celebrated mothers, and in June we celebrated fathers. It follows that in July we can bring all our parents together and show them some appreciation all at once.

NATIONAL AUNT AND UNCLE’S DAY

National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26 honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events, and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love, and incredible memories.

Our weather seems similar to yours. No rain until this evening. Lightning and thunder started just after 9pm and stopped an hour later. Yes, I felt the barometer heading downward, but the head ahe was not severe. No meds needed. First time in months that I felt good prior to the storm.
Tomorrow may be a different story. I’m all set just in case. Reloaded my medical kit when I am with hubs. If I have problems, hubs know where the pills are and can direct the RN if need be.

I forgot to mention that hubs roommate was reassigned to another plave. No sure if he is still in the rehab in a different section. All I know is he is no longer in the same room with hubs. He caused a lot of headaches not only to me and hubs but to the RNs and the aides as well. He, for some reason, always used the call button. It got to the point where no one wanted to come into the room. The RN, though, would check to see if hubs was OK.. Hubs has been doing a “happy dance” in his wheelchair. If this roommate returns I will be making a huge you know what.

Tomorrow I will be getting ready for the usual garbage, recycle and yardwork pickup on Monday. We have one day pickup for everything. No more Mondays and Thursdays. I must admit that I miss the two days. At the moment there is nothing in any of the barrels. May wait to the following week.

Try to find ways to stay cool. I have never seen or felt weather like this. It includes Florida as well. Who ever heard of New Jersey having tornados. Hope and pray that the animals are OK.

Happy weekend! Sis, relax. It’s your time to slow down and focus on yourself. The laundry will still be there. The emails aren’t going to file a missing person report. The world will somehow survive if you spend a little time taking care of the woman who has been holding everything together. YOU!
You don’t have to earn a quiet moment by running yourself into the ground first. Rest isn’t a reward for being exhausted. It’s part of staying strong enough to keep building the life you actually want. Give yourself permission to disappear for a little while this weekend. Your peace has been waiting patiently.

Cruel Summer
Song by Bananarama

Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are sayin’ (what did they say?)
Things I can’t understand
It’s too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
The city is crowded, my friends are away
And I’m on my own
It’s too hot to handle, so I got to get up and go
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
Gonna feel only it was
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin’ me) leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
It’s a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin’ me) leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin’ me) leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one

@shoelady60,

Good Evening from Hades. 😎 Yeah still blazing hot still making sure the animals are
well fed and have plenty of water. 💕

Your post had me cracking up it really is that hot here in OZ. 😎

No worries cooler days are coming next week. I talked to family in Colorado and they
are on fire too add drought and you have to use very little water and there you have it.
Some States have it worse I feel for those who don’t A/C. Prayers that all make it through
brutal heat wave.

Enjoy something nice and cool. 💕😎I am going to jump in the shower for a nice
Perlier cold shower. 💕

Lady I want to thank you for keeping your prayers for my family. 💕I meant to tell you that
a couple days ago. My SIL is doing very well and the family are having a great time this
summer. 😎

I have my young niece who is due to serious surgery on Monday. I will explain all when things
are calmer in the family. This is cancer and it can be cruel. Here we go again.

Keeping my faith I hope you can sleep tonight rest well and sweet dreams. 💕😎
