NATIONAL PIEROGI DAY

On October 8 we are celebrating a Polish delight on National Pierogi Day! This international dish is more than a dumpling–it’s mouthwatering goodness that always leaves you wanting more!

Pierogi is the plural form of a word that means “little ears.” For centuries, it has been a big part of Polish cuisine. Pierogies are dumplings of unleavened dough and filled with potatoes, cheese, and even fruit. The are boiled and then pan fried in butter to give them a delicious finish before eating.

NATIONAL FLUFFERNUTTER DAY

Some food holidays are stickier than others. And National Fluffernutter Day on October 8th is a stick-to-your-ribs-chin-fingers-nose kind of day! Celebrate zealously on this yummy and extraordinary food holiday…then take a bath.

Where did the term “Fluffernutter” come from? Well, the advertising agency for Durkee-Mower created it in 1960 in an attempt to effectively market the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.

NATIONAL HERO DAY

National Hero Day on October 8 honors the real-life heroes who inspire us to be the best person we can possibly be. Today, let’s spend a little extra time thanking those who go above and beyond to care for those who need help.

AMERICAN TOUCH TAG DAY

Tag! You’re it! Remember the sound of sneakers pounding on pavement, the breathless laughter, and the triumphant shout of “Tag! You’re it!”? On October 8th, American Touch Tag Day celebrates that timeless childhood game, encouraging kids and the young at heart to get outside and play!

Stay Strong Close your eyes. Not to escape the world, but to hear the quiet voice buried beneath the noise of life. Not every wound needs an explanation. Not every loss deserves regret. Sometimes, being strong simply means staying on your feet, even when your heart knows how heavy it is. Close your eyes, breathe slowly. The world is not asking you to surrender. It is teaching you how to grow stronger.

@oodiebom,

Good day I am having a glitch in my system need to reboot and then some.

Will check back in later.

Here is to a good day.

@sheba2011

I left you a message in yesterdays’ post. We have had rain on and off most of the day. More for tomorrow. I will be trying my regular route tomorrow to see hubs. I do have exits planned just in case. Have a peaceful night.

@oodiebom,

Hey relax I did see your message earlier I was waiting to respond. So good to hear hubby
is improving that is a good sign. 🎈😎

Oodie you are carrying a full load so take care of you too. I am so glad you got your
Heidi Daus Bracelet. 💕🎈

Oodie, everytime I type your name it defaults to Hoodie 🙂
Thanks for your post and info. I can’t wait to travel there and am compiling lists of place to visit.

Hope you get to see hubs tomorrow!

@taci,

Good morning having a glitch problem with my computer. Niece is done with the
Enclosed Chamber she even got a certificate for it. Well ain’t that cute. Niece
starts Chemo on Friday. 🎈

I am having a day for sure.

Sheba, Hopefully you have a lovely sunset in Oz and later can watch the Moon.
“Ain’t that cute” yah….

Upstairs clean up morning and my items to donate were picked up. A few weeks ago I washed a carpet that was downstairs and after it dried rolled it up thinking I might get rid of it but it fit upstairs so hubs carried it up for me. We unrolled it in the small loft area and a cricket popped out and a few spiders. I ran for the vacuum and got all but the cricket. It hopped away quickly and is still upstairs somewhere.
Hubs was talking about an out of state move. I’ve cleared out a lot and think we could consider it. We will be checking out NC/SC and GA on our trip to visit hubs friends in FL. I think it could work except for my son who would remain here. That’s a big one for us so who knows what we will do and if he will move eventually anyways.

I looked up Belle De Jour and it sounds like a good movie!
Hope you have a good evening!

@taci,

Good Evening and enjoy your trip to GA a lot of my family lives there as does three
kids our other daughter lives near Boston. 🎈😎

I have one daughter who loves to visit SC and there are cabins in the woods you
rent and stay how long you want. Daughter sent me some pics and they were stunning.

The thing I like about GA is the houses are huge. 😎🎈My brother has one that I need
a compass just to find certain rooms.

My niece is out of the Chamber and first Chemo session is Friday. I am praying for her.
Niece will have four sessions.

@taci

Georgia is one of my favorite places. On the way to New England our first overnight stop is usually in Savannah which is the I-95 corridor. People in this State are so helpful and friendly. Great views and wonderful restaurants that are not on the beaten path. We follow I-95 into North Carolina. I think we only do another 50 miles in this state before we exit on to Rte. 25 and then pick up I-77. Beautiful scenery with mountains and tons of places to stop and to look around. New builds are everywhere. That also includes Florida.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎Thinking of you.

@sheba2011

I am writing this on Oct. 7th just in case I’m home too late to say hi. I did see hubs yesterday and he is now trying to do things on his own. He can now dangle his feet at the edge of the bed and as long as the wheelchair is near and the brake is on, he now uses that as leverage to get into bed. As you know I use the trolley to carry the bag of food items and other stuff. Yesterday, he decided to eat in his room. Changed his mind from the dining room. I had the trolley and left it by the door. He immediately grabbed the handle and as I wheeled him into his room, the trolley followed. That answered my question on going shopping and holding on to the cart as we meandered around. He is back to doing the little things and it shows me he is ready to return home. I had someone in mind for the ramp, but as you know using this person is questionable. There are other names to be contacted and I will start doing that this week and next.

I took a huge cabinet apart for towels and toiletries. This is in the master bathroom area. When I return home from visiting hubs, I will tackle that one and all five shelves which are emptied. It will be nice to find things once again and know where they are. And best part, no duplicating because we could not find the item. No more warehousing. What a relief (LOL). I am still doing KP, but this will eliminate some items near the front door. Using Clean Boss makes the cleaning process very easy.

It is raining today with the temp at 81. You can cut the air with a knife. Not sure if we will see the wind with the tropical depression or if the hurricane will affect us. So far it looks like Louisiana and Florida’s panhandle will see something. Now need to venture out to get the mail and then to CVS. From there to see hubs.

@taci,

Good morning in S.C. have a great day. Know you are busy as I am doing the same
thing where does all this come from?

Oz is perfect today and the animals are loving it. 🎈😎

Enjoy the trails.

Sheba, The week is going fast. More house organizing today but that’s due to the extreme heat warnings. Our cool down is expected this weekend.
How are things going with your niece? And your cat crew?
Hello to Poppy.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈Wishing you a great Tuesday. Miss ya.

Sending cool shades to you and Jake. 😎🎈😘

NATIONAL DO SOMETHING NICE DAY

Your Official Day to spread awesomeness is on October 5! Today is National Do Something Nice Day and we are dedicated to making the world a little brighter, one kind act at a time.

Think of today as the awesome sequel to Random Acts of Kindness Day (February 17). It’s another fantastic chance to create a ripple effect of positivity!

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in the daily hustle. Do Something Nice Day reminds us of a simple, powerful truth: kindness is a superpower we all possess! Kindness doesn’t require a grand, sweeping gesture. In fact, a small nice act of kindness can completely turn someone’s day around. You may find it boosts your spirits as well!

NATIONAL RHODE ISLAND DAY

Wrapping up the original 13 colonies, National Rhode Island Day on October 5 recognizes the last colony to join the Union on May 4, 1776.

Roger Williams established the Rhode Island colony in 1636 at Providence seeking religious and political freedom after persecution for his beliefs in Massachusetts,

While the colony was the first to renounce British rule, Rhode Island was the only state absent from the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Rhode Island delayed signing the Constitution, preferring the addition of a bill of rights. It wasn’t until the Constitution was ratified by nine previous states and the threat of taxation on her exports that Rhode Island finally ratified the document and became the 13th state.

The textile industry boomed in the mid-1800s after Samuel Slater founded the first textile mill in Pawtucket in 1790. Rhode Island made producing cloth into a lucrative national and export business.

NATIONAL CONSIGNMENT DAY

As the seasons change and our lives evolve, and so do our styles and budgets. On the first Monday in October, National Consignment Day offers a way to elevate both. The holiday celebrates consignment as the smart, sustainable way to shop, earn money, and extend the life cycle of your items.

Check your overstuffed closet and what will you find? In everything from designer clothes to evening gowns and fine jewelry, last year’s blue jeans and the never-worn is the opportunity for cash in your pocket. Conversely, is your wardrobe looking a little thin? Update it by shopping consignment, which offers new and gently used, name-brand items for a fraction of the retail price.

NATIONAL GET FUNKY DAY

Find your groove and Get Funky on October 5 for National Get Funky Day! It’s time to turn up the energy, improve the mood, smile, laugh, and dance everywhere you go.

National Get Funky Day encourages everyone to break out of their funk and get funky. When we add a little spice to our everyday routine, it keeps life interesting, too. Watch your interactions between customers, coworkers, and loved ones improve. Funkiness is infectious! Let’s celebrate life, spread love, laughter, and light!

NATIONAL GOE DAY

National GOE Day – Growth. Overcome. Empower. The Sunday of the first full weekend in October encourages us to support safe spaces for healing and connection for those who have been victimized by abuse and trauma. The day focuses on healing, recovery and providing resources that support overcoming these overwhelming obstacles in life.

NATIONAL CHILD HEALTH DAY

In the United States, National Child Health Day occurs each year on the first Monday in October. The day recognizes the care and guidance children need to grow strong and healthy.

Each child deserves to be the healthiest he or she can be. From the food they eat to the words they hear, children require support and opportunities to grow. Parents often worry about chronic disease, accidents or childhood illnesses. At the same time, they focus on a child’s mental health and general health. Whether it’s their environment, the food they eat or how much TV they watch, the day is an excellent opportunity to support the children in your life.

NATIONAL APPLE BETTY DAY

As the crisp autumn air rolls in, get ready for one of the season’s coziest and most delicious traditions! October 5 marks National Apple Betty Day, an annual food holiday of the warm, bubbly, and utterly irresistible baked apple dessert.

Apple Better is a simple, rustic dessert that proves you don’t need anything fancy to create something truly spectacular. Imagine tart, juicy apples, sliced and sweetened, bubbling under a golden-brown blanket of buttery, cinnamon-spiced crumbs. That’s the magic of an Apple Betty!

Good Morning Peeps and here is to a great Monday in the HSN Community. 😎🎈

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I feel really sad for your husband’s room mate family.
I pray they are doing alright.

I got a lot done over the weekend with hubby we still have projects as I like to call them. 😎
The rain did a beautiful job on all the plants and flowers of course the food helped. 💕

The family is holding steady and we are ready for our niece next step. This is life and it happens.

Oz is beautiful today we are right at a crisp 74 degrees and sunny. 💕😎🎈

@sheba2011

Well another Monday for collections has come and gone. I will need to make a phone call as everything went, that is, except the garbage. I will be making a phone call in the morning.

I have been working in the kitchen and it is a slow but steady progress. I am taking a detour by working on one shelf in the pantry. I was surprised that a couple of cans exploded and that mess is gradually coming clean. These cans had expiration dates of 2027. Go figure.

Did not see hubs today. Went to bed about 4:30am and awoke around 9am. Fell asleep at the computer and awoke with a phone call from the rehab around 4pm asking me about some vaccines for hubs. I had no inkling what he needed and mentioned contacting the nurse’s station for the updates.

Our weather is about to change for the next three or four days. Not sure what is happening in the Gulf, but I am definitely watching. Meanwhile we have three or four days of rain beginning tomorrow. I will need to watch for flooding on my routes. Last resort would be the Interstate. If it’s a hurricane we will be evacuated which is the normal procedure for our area. Hubs rehab most likely will end up in Orlando due to water overflow from the Manatee River which abuts the back of the building. The facilities in Orlando are the sister rehabs to this one and it’s about 90 miles one way. The sad part is that no one works the phones once the evacuation takes place so you do not know which facility your loved one is in. Hubs treats it as a new adventure.

The family was with the person who passed. I met his wife who uses a walker to get around. His son-in-law stayed. He was expecting to see his sister in law. But she never showed. I surmise she was with her mom and I can sympathize as to the difficult decisions she had to make. One of the receptionist’s mentioned that the son-in-law was actually a stepson. He was there when he was needed and stayed. This was the only time I actually saw anyone visiting.

Here’s to a nice evening. It is cloudy as I type. Temp is 85. It was over 90 today. Humidity 100%.

@oodiebom,

I would just let it go for tonight. That’s enough. 🎈

No KP duties tonight let’s just get you some peace and quiet.

Tomorrow is another day. 😎

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California and soon you will have cooler weather. 😎
I have all the windows open to let the fresh air in.

Poppy has not left my side after our walk this morning. The leaves are changing
and falling. A big welcome to Fall. 💕

Wishing you and your family a good Week. 🎈😎

Sheba, well, one can hope! Ran errands stoday and put up a few Halloween decorations.
I’ll add a few more things as we get closer to the end of the month. All my candy is bought as well. Well, one earring left and I still haven’t pulled the trigger. To be fair, I do have a purchase on the way and am trying to be good. Plus Choco nuvo season is here and once the extreme heat is over then I will buy it.

Have a great evening. Are you watching a movie on TCM?
Thinking of your niece. Hope things are getting easier for her.

@taci,

Thank you for thinking of my niece she is doing well and Friday will be her first Chemo.

I am watching Belle De Jour a French Sub Titled Film. 😎

Have a good night.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. We are missing you please may you and your family be well. 💕😘

Sending cool Fall Breezes to you and Jake. 😎🎈💕
