Hallmark Holiday: 
Amelia Earhart Day

This famous pilot was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic and is remembered for never letting anything stop her from pursuing her dreams.  Back then they'd probably say 'That dame has moxie!'  Sadly she never managed to complete her mission to fly around the world in 1937.  Her last radio transmissions placed her somewhere around Fiji, and she was never heard from again.


Cousins Day

Thank goodness for cousins.  As kids, they kept us entertained at family get-togethers, saving us from the boring grown-ups and making the kids' table the place to be.  Ah, who are we kidding?  Now that we're adults, they're still the ones that make everything more fun.


National Tequila Day

It's time to enjoy the liquor that is made from the agave cactus and native to Mexico.  Tequila was first produced in the 16th century when Spanish conquistadors in Mexico ran out of the brandy they brought with them and started to distill the agave to make a new sort of liquor.  Looks like tequila's always been the go-to beverage to keep the party going.

I have too many cousins to list them all. 


Mowed, got gas, mowed, edged, hedges, exhaustion, shower, food, laundry, movie, thunder, rain. 

Did you know KFC closes at 9pm?  We learned this tonight. IHOP instead.
