rantings & ramblings
It’s strawberry rhubarb pie day and I took one out of the oven a few hours ago so it should be just about ready to eat. I’ll cut us each a slice while you decide on drinks and we’ll sit and chat about the week that was.

It’s Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie Day! I have fond memories of picking rhubarb with my grandma, and while this type of pie is my second-favorite after apple, it doesn’t grow well where I am now. A quick search online told me I could get a frozen one at Walmart, so with fingers crossed I made the trip, hoping the online inventory wasn’t lying to me. Now, a strawberry-rhubarb pie has been acquired. Will it be as good as my mom’s? No. But it’s also more than I hoped for here in eastern North Carolina. I’ll be enjoying the later on this evening!
Cheers to World Gin Day! In my experience folks either love it or hate it, and for me, I love it. Whether you like it extra dry with a twist of lemon in a Gin & Tonic or infused with additional botanicals (like I do) in a classy cocktail like a Bee Knees (also a favorite), let’s raise a toast (responsibly)
Happy Donut Day – the day that’s all about grabbing your favorite donut and enjoying every bite. My personal favorites are blueberry cake, Boston cream, and lemon filled. Also, Dunkin in infinitely superior to Krispy Kreme. What are your favorite donuts or controversial donut opinions?
Life has its ups and downs, but it’s not all that bad – today’s National Yo-Yo Day! Walk the Dog, Shoot the Moon, and go Around the World all from the same room! Is there gambling in yo-yo? If you’re feeling lucky, go Double or Nothing. And maybe put on some Yo-Yo Ma for the ambiance.
Sometimes being full of hot air is a good thing – like on Hot Air Balloon Day! Find your inner Phileas Fogg, return to The Golden Age of Ballooning, and drift above the world as the horizon stretches away endlessly with nothing but a wicker basket between you and the open air. Just beware the Grunkle Stan types.
