CELEBRATE IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST - International Left Handers Day

We are now in the month of August and there are several National Holidays during this month to have a reason to celebrate! I found some of these Holidays to be somewhat quirky and off-beat, I couldn't help but highlight them throughout this month, just for fun!

Here is a glimpse at what I have and will be highlighting this month:

Aug. 4th - National Mustard Day

Aug. 10th - National S'mores Day

Aug. 13th - International Left Handers Day

Aug. 16th - National Tell a Joke Day

Aug. 19th - National Aviation Day

Aug. 26th - National Dog Day

August 13th - International Left Handers Day

Today is International Left Handers Day. I am not left handed, so why am I recognizing it, you ask? Because my 14 year old son is. No one else in our immediate family, including the grandparents, are left handed, only my son (although I do have one Aunt that is left handed as well). So I am taking this day to honor my 'unique' son, LOL! When I expressed to him that today was Left Handers Day, he became pretty excited...only because he thought he might get something special today, such as a gift of some sort. No gifts, just a special hug from his mother. Funny how his excited expression quickly turned into an expression I can't really explain, HaHaHa!!

Here's to my unique and wonderful 14 year old son...Happy Left Handers Day!

Who doesn't like S'mores?? I love them!!! That delicious chocolate, melted by a fire-charred marshmallow, then squeezed together inside two graham crackers. YUM! YUM! Well today is the day, your excuse, to make and devour these traditionally camping treasures because today is National S'mores Day! Although the origin of S'mores is uncertain, the first recorded version of them was found in a 1927 publication by the Girl Scouts and were originally called "Some Mores."

I'm sure most people are familiar with traditional S'mores, so I thought I'd post recipes that were more non-traditional. Enjoy your day!

God Bless,

So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.

New Bible Verse ~ Tuesday, August 7th

My apologies for the delay in posting this week's Bible verse, our Internet came back yesterday, Yay, but I'm just now getting an opportunity to draft this post. Have a very blessed week!

Psalm 135:5-6 (ESV)

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. 6 Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.   

God Bless!
