goodbye/fun facts....National Be an Angel Day encourages good deeds and kindness to others.  The day also recognizes those who’ve been angels to us. Sometimes we have a terrible day. Whether its bad news or poor planning, we all have them. A kind word, a hug, or even a pleasant atmosphere makes a difference.  Other times, days, even weeks, can be devastating. A loss, illness, or overwhelming news takes the wind from our sails...so be an angel...Offer an ear to listen, a hand to lift them up, or a shoulder to hold them up until they can stand again. Give patience when you least feel like giving it.

goodbye/fun facts....national ice cream pie day...Ice cream first appeared in Persia about 2,500 years ago. Those early versions used frozen sweetened water that had been smashed into little bits and topped with fruits and toppings. During the winter, ice was gathered from mountains and lakes and kept in ice huts.  It wasn’t until Europe left the Dark Ages behind that ice cream enjoyed a resurgence in Renaissance Italy. A lasting solution came in 1926 in the form of electrical freezers. With all the flavors and types of pie crusts available today, our options are unlimited!

goodbye/fun facts....national thrift store day...get ready for some bargain shopping! Nearly every town in the United States offers a thrift shop or second-hand store...In a consignment shop, people bring their used items in to sell. When the item sells, the consignment shop keeps a percentage of the sales. Everyone wants to save money. More and more, people are shopping at thrift stores. Clothing, furniture, and household goods are great finds among the other hidden treasures within the walls of thrift shops.  While thrift shopping helps the budget, it also helps the environment. Every item purchased from a thrift shop is one less item in a landfill.

goodbye/fun facts....When vinyl records first came on the market they had other names. Some of them were a gramophone record or a phonograph record. They are also called records for short.  The sound is recorded by inscribing it on a modulated spiral groove.  Depending on the speed at which the sound was recorded, the vinyl record will need to be played at a corresponding speed on the record player.  45s...33 1/3....78s...and it's analog sound (as opposed to digital) so yes...it does sound better.

goodbye/fun facts....National Pickleball Day...it has been 57 years since Pickleball was invented? The game combines traditional lawn tennis, ping-pong, and badminton. The game is played with ping-pong rackets on a badminton court with a tennis net. Similar to tennis, but is less challenging, it’s suitable for people of all ages.  Pickleball was played for the first time in 1965 by a group of families who didn't have a proper badminton set-up so they improvised with items they had on hand.  It grew in popularity so quickly that by 1984 The United States Amateur Pickleball Association publishes the first pickleball rulebook.
