Today is great day for Guys and Dolls who are considered “Baby Boomers.” Stand up and be proud for it is officially “BABY BOOMERS RECOGNITION DAY.” Just think of it born right before or after World War II we have seen the world change so many times for good and for bad. I was little but remember my father talking about the Korean War, than those crazy 1950’s, the high school years of 60’s, Vietnam and military duty came along. Most of us got married, raised families had good times and bad and right now I guess we are in our senior years as the young ones would say. I say we have been through a lot so be recognized today and why not go out for dinner tonight and get that senior discount.
I missed one of my favorite drink holidays yesterday, “National Vanilla Milkshake Day.” When I was a kid there was a corner candy store by my grandmother’s house, called Carl’s. Carl sold everything cigarettes, penny candy, newspapers but he also had a four stool soda fountain and to me made one of the best vanilla milkshakes ever. There was a very unique taste to the vanilla which I can still taste today. I guess you say another baby boomer memory of times past.
During this third week of June we celebrate “HUG WEEK.” Remember to give the ones you love extra hugs this week but never forget the rest of the year, celebrate hugs by giving them every day it will give you that warm feeling inside and they will know you care.
Tomorrow being Friday, I may not have a chance to write, so I will wish you all a wonderful day and a great weekend to enjoy. See you next week.
