Waffle Iron Day Date When Celebrated :  Always June 29 Waffle Iron Day  celebrates this great kitchen gadget that makes tasty waffles. Waffles are cooked between two metal plates. A waffle iron is powered by electricity to heat the plates and create, light waffles ready for you to top with syrup, and/or your favorite fruits. Waffles are not just for breakfast. They are good for lunch or dinner, too.   The origin of the waffle:   The waffle dates back to the 1300s in Greece. Greeks cooked flat cakes between two metal pans. At the time, they topped it with cheeses and herbs. Pancake syrup wasn't around back then. You do know how to celebrate this day.......don't you!? If you don't have a waffle iron, today is a good day to go out and buy one. If you are too busy to make waffles ourself, buy some frozen in your grocery store, or order them out at a restaurant. http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/June/waffleironday.htm Feel Free to comment a

       Today I attended my youngest's 8th Grade Graduation.  While I can say it was relatively laid back compared to my daughter's who graduated the 8th Grade before him I still looked around and thought wow they are acting like this is the only graduation of their lives.  I mean really this is just the beginning and I don't want anyone to think this is it.          But after further reflection I realized that for some just like when I went to high school won't finish.  It happens in every town in every class.  Some just don't make it.  Then looking around even more I wondered how many people that were there were the first ones in their family to make it to 8th grade graduation?   Because lets it's true for whatever reason many people never got that far.  And maybe that is the reason for the big deals and balloons and all the hoopla.         If I could I would tell all of them don't stop.  Keep going this is only the first step. Take it all and learn wh

        I feel it was just a few weeks ago I sat on my rooftop lamenting about how I had a plant and how I needed more.  Did I mention it was an Aloe Plant.  I just had to have it since the leaves give off pure aloe that's supposed to be so wonderful for the natural hair.  I got it and put it all over my head knowing how great my scalp and hair were going to feel. Damn was I wrong. Nothing felt good turns out I'm allergic to the damn plant.  I washed my hair two maybe three times a day for a week. My scalp was on fire. I couldn't sleep. I had to pay down with an airplane pillow so my head was elevated because anything touching it hurt. Allergy medicine have me minimal relief.  I ended up using baking soda and water then a neutralizing shampoo.  It was bad.  Just written about had my head itching.  It was terrible!!!  I didn't even want to sit out here because of that can plant.  But now it's dying.  I think it was before I got home but anyway now I have a tomato 🍅

Juneteenth Day Date When Celebrated:  Always on June 19 th Juneteenth day celebrates and symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862. It was not until June 19, 1865 that all slaves were finally freed. That concluding event was when General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas with his troops and issued Order Number 3 which finally freed the last of the slaves. The formal end of slavery was marked by the passing of the 13th amendment of the constitution. http://www.holidayinsights.com/other/juneteenth.htm

International Sushi Day When : Always June 18 Something's fishy. That's because today is International Sushi Day. Sushi was created in Japan.It is a well known type of Japanese cuisine, but often isunderstood. Most of us think of sushi as a finger food containing raw fish. It certainly is a finger food. But, sushi does not have to include fish. This relatively new special day is titled an "International" day. We found very little reference to this day outside of the U.S. There is only one requirement for this day. Simply eat some sushi. We hope you enjoy it! http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/June/international-sushi-day.htm Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!

            I don't see hundreds of couples from my perch here on the roof but I see a fair amount.  I get to look at their body language and imagine what it is they are saying to each other even if I can't hear one word.  I can tell by the close of a door or the hand on a back even when they fight they are still in love or I could stop people watching and look inside my own life.              I can tell you that I used to watch those couples and wonder if all the touching and laughing was fake and forced until it happened to me.  Until my husband and I became that couple.  I wouldn't even call us that couple it was a title some of our friends gave to us but what I noticed is that the way we are, is the way we are all the time.  If we are mad or more to the point I am mad he's still there opening doors, holding my hand, touching me.  If we are just fine he is still the same never wavering in his devotion for me.            It's simple things really that have add

                  I remember everyone telling me your to big and you should start to lose weight now because the older you get the harder it is.  i didn't listen.  Then I did. I tried Slim Fast for awhile it worked but you know it got boring or something and I stopped and the few pounds I lost came back with company.  Then I tired Weight Watchers and again I lost some but counting points and the weekly cost got old and again i quit and those pounds came back with company.  And I tried a few other things a time or too or twenty and some injury would put me down because I pushed to hard or just was plan out of shape.  Then came the female issues that heavy periods, and constant cramping and just plain pain.  There was always something standing in my way.                       But what I finally had to own was the only thing standing in my way was me.  I was the on coming up with excuses. I was the open stopping.  I was the one shoveling in the candy's and cookies and juices.

As you will find few things are off limits. Below is a small excerpt:              “No of course not,” I said trying to reach up again while trying to pull my skirt down without him noticing before I turned back around. When I reached up again I felt his body pressing into me from behind and his hand slide around my waist to find where I had hiked my skirt up to grab onto my exposed leg.            “Why didn’t you just ask me to get it” you whispered into my ear. As he ran the other hand down my arm letting our fingers intertwine with each other both now reaching for the glass. “I don’t know” I said pushing back into him.           “Always so stubborn” he said. Then he started kissing and licking up to my neck and over to my ear. I
