Pecan Pie Day: More
Had enough berries for a while? Got you covered. Tomorrow is 'Pecan Pie Day'. I will salute the state tree of Texas (the Pecan) by consuming the fruits of it's, and others, labors. As in the past, I will have mine with a big scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream on top and a hot cup of coffee.
A new movie hit the box office top fifty years ago on July 12 1964, 'The Killers', based on Hemingway's novel.
The theater will be dark and there will be no quick way to take a Selfie back in '64 so you would have to wait until you get outside to celebrate 'Different Colored Eyes Day'.
Ah, but let's just take it easy. It will be 'National Simplicity Day' to honor (Henry David Thoreau 's Birthday.
After all the calories you consumed in the huge piece of Pecan Pie you had for dinner, you may want a lighter dessert for a midnight snack. No problem, it will also be 'Eat Your Jello Day' to celebrate Bill Cosby's Birthday and all those Jello Pudding Pops he helped sell.
If your, Back-in-the-day machine is working well you might have your dinner on a TV tray and watch Uncle Miltie (Milton Berle's Birthday ) on the 'Texaco Star Theater'.
And we peanut lover's cannot forget to honor 'Carver Day', (George Washington Carver's birthday).
