NATIONAL BACK TO SCHOOL MONTH

National Back to School Month in August gears up parents, teachers, schools, and students for a season of education. Whether you’re ready or not, friends, activities, and books are just around the corner. Get ready to learn!

NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY

On the first Sunday in August, we celebrate National Friendship Day to encourage people across the world to connect with friends. Expand your view of the world by making a new friend or reconnecting with an old friend on National Friendship Day.

Friendships come in many forms, and we begin developing them when we’re very young. Throughout our lives, friendships and their meanings evolve. Our classmates and neighborhood pals explored the world with us. Together we shared experiences and made plans for the future. Eventually, paths diverge and new friends find a place in our social experience. Our world expands and our culture changes.

With each new friend, we expand our view of the world. Their experiences contribute to new meaning in our lives. Through friendships, we grow and broaden our horizons. Eventually, the world becomes smaller and more connected.

AMERICAN FAMILY DAY

American Family Day falls on the first Sunday in August encourages us to enjoy the waning summer rays with those dearest to us. Use this National Day to spend time with your family and make some memories that will last a lifetime.

American Family Day encourages families to spend time with one another. Unlike some other familial holidays, the proclamation of the day discourages gift giving. Instead, the observance urges focusing on family relationships by having fun, relaxing, and catching up on the lives of family members.

NATIONAL COLORING BOOK DAY

National Coloring Book Day on August 2 recognizes the joy children and adults alike derive from coloring in pages of designs.

Coloring and coloring books have always been popular with children, but over the years, adults have gotten more and more involved with coloring. Obviously, adult coloring is now a huge trend. Many find that it is not only fun but also a great way to reduce stress.

With so many colors and designs to choose from, coloring offers enjoyment in so many settings. They’re portable and come in a variety of sizes. Take coloring books on vacation with you for rainy days or to document a fun memory.

NATIONAL SISTERS DAY

National Sisters Day on the first Sunday in August celebrates the unique bond between sisters. This particular set of siblings embrace moments that make them laugh and cringe. While they don’t always agree, sisters have each other’s backs.

NATIONAL ICE CREAM SANDWICH DAY

On August 2, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day encourages us to cool off with one of our favorite frozen treats. Whether it’s vanilla, strawberry or Neapolitan between two chocolate wafers, the dessert sure will hit the spot on a hot summer day.

@shoelady60,

Good Evening i only eat very light during the dog days of summer it’s too hot to eat
heavy food. 😎

Lady my favorite black cat named Kitty Kitty who I have had over three years and stays
in my neighbor’s backyard that is fenced in was waiting on me to bring the food and I am
glad I took as the sun was going down. I was so happy to see him and know he is eating
the food and is alright. I went back and added some good wet food to make sure he is
eating well. I miss him being on the front porch which as big beautiful plants. 😎🎈

I feed Ms. Kitty too she is spoiled I am working on getting her straight about who comes
on my porch. Ms. Kitty will let me touch her and clean her she is fixed and may have a chip.
This is great at least i won’t find a litter of kittens. I would not know what to do. i still would
take care of them. 😎

Everything is alright in OZ and my niece is doing good this is a step by step journey.
Cancer I so would like to punch it in it’s face yet I have a healthy respect for the beast.

Enjoy a cool calm night sweet dreams my dear. 😎💕
