Tis the Season, 55 1275 South, Monticello, KY (2026)

06/02/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Tuesday, June 2, 2026, where today is NATIONAL ROTISSERIE CHICKEN DAY, NATIONAL ROCKY ROAD DAY, and NATIONAL BUBBA DAY. First, let’s talk about Rotisserie Chicken!
Do you have a rotisserie device on your grill, or do you allow your grocery to do the honors? I know that my grocery version is fine for me. My problem is deciding whether I want the Lemon-Pepper Chicken or some other version. Often, I just get two…. that way I can satisfy different palettes. Besides, there are so many uses/recipes for left-over Rotisserie Chicken. Wow, maybe I should get THREE different rotisserie chickens today as I am picking up my Rocky Road Ice Cream.
Now, maybe I saved the best celebration for last, especially for you that have a special Bubba in your world!! You know Bubba…. that affectionate nickname used for your brother or close friend.
Just think about it. Many of us have a nickname, but is our nickname so famous that we have a special day to celebrate the specialness of our nickname? I did not think so…. unless it is Bubba.
For every Bubba out there, you have nailed the Special Nickname Award. Now, it is up to the rest of us to help you celebrate your name/day. Hopefully, you like Rotisserie Chicken and Rocky Road Ice Cream or candy, too, but anyone who has such a special nickname deserves a few of their own specific selections.
Start choosing, Bubba, it is your day!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Welcome to the first day of June for 2026, which is NATIONAL OLIVE DAY, NATIONAL GO BAREFOOT DAY, NATIONAL HAZELNUT CAKE DAY, OSCAR THE GROUCH DAY, WORLD MILK DAY, NATIONAL NAIL POLISH DAY, NATIONAL HEIMLICH MANEUVER DAY, and NATIONAL SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY.
Saying something nice compared to being a Grouch gives you a lot of options, doesn’t it? Going barefoot especially if you celebrate National Nail Polish Day with a pedicure would be a great tag-team idea, too. Another great idea for the day would be to learn the Heimlich Maneuver, since knowing this First Aid Technique could save a life someday.
Some of today’s other celebrations might interest you for they just might appeal to some of your appetites…. especially those that love Hazelnut Cake and olives. Plus, milk might be a favorite for some of you every day. However, since June is also NATIONAL DAIRY MONTH, you might choose to drink even more milk than usual today. Or you might choose to get your milk supply in different forms (ice cream, milk shakes, cheese, whipped cream, butter, frozen desserts, etc., etc.)
Wait, there is more; June is also NATIONAL ADOPT A CAT MONTH, NATIONAL CAMPING MONTH, NATIONAL SOUL FOOD MONTH, NATIONAL ICED TEA MONTH, and AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC APPREICATION MONTH.
And…. since a lot of my readers are from the South, I figure a few of these celebrations really got your attention…. such as National Soul Food Month and National Iced Tea Month. Yes, I could go for some Soul Food and some Iced Tea with some Aretha Franklin…or Ella Fitzgerald…. or Stevie Wonder supplying some great background music!!!
Oh, yes, plate up some soul food, turn up the volume, and enjoy!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/31/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate the last day of May 2026 which is NATIONAL SMILE DAY.
I am all about smiling, even when I do not feel like it, because there is great power in a smile!! It helps you (the smiler) and the recipient of the smile. In fact, even during a crisis, we need smiles and kindness more than ever. As stated by Mother Teresa… “Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your SMILE.”
What reason do we have to smile? I pray that so many blessings and joys come to mind that your entire day will be laced with smiles.
This SMILING daily celebration causes me to think how one of today’s celebrations corresponds so easily with our next celebration. Yes, many, including this blogger, need to celebrate/contemplate/act upon another of today’s celebration, WHAT YOU THINK UPON GROWS DAY! Wow! Did that get your attention?
For you see…. fear, anger, sorrow, self-doubt, rage, hate, and every other negative emotion/thought that one can image/experience will GROW when they have a permanent residence in our mind and soul. The beautiful side of this fact, though, is that the same can be said of positive emotions. Love, compassion, kindness, forgiveness, acceptance, joy, trust, serenity, and every other blessing can GROW when thought upon and nourished, too. Heavy stuff, right? Personal stuff, right? So, for you personally, what do you want to GROW in your garden of life? What do you want to THINK about today? If you do not really know where to start…. may I suggest you start with a SMILE. AND….
AND consider going to the church of your choice today…. for this is a Day of Worship for many of us. Yes, growing in the Lord is the best growth/improvement one can ever make. Smiles will come easier as well as other positive emotions.
Yes, let this SMILING and GROWTH begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/30/2026

Tis the Season to wind down the month of May for 2026! Can you believe it…. just today, tomorrow, and then…. welcome, June.
So, May, let us end you in fine fashion. Are you feeling creative today? I hope so for today is NATIONAL CREATIVITY DAY. I also think it is funny that today is also NATIONAL HOLE IN MY BUCKET DAY. With creativity, could you fix a hole in your bucket, or would you be a lot like Liza and Henry? You know, the children’s song where Henry approached Liza with the unwelcome news that…. THERE’S A HOLE IN THE BUCKET. Well, Liza felt no pity for Henry’s dilemma; she just told him to “FIX IT.” Are you starting to remember the song? Remember, they first needed STRAW, but for that, they need a KNIFE. Oh my, for the knife, they needed a STONE. The stone, however, called for…. you guessed it…. WATER. But…. but…. but…. there is a hole in the bucket!!! Oh! No! Here we go again!!
You best FIX IT, though, for today is also National Water A Flower Day!! Aren’t many of us glad that we have a water hose because we might have been like Henry when it comes to fixing a bucket with a hole in it! Plus, Mother Nature seems to want to help water our flowers in parts of Kentucky today, too. In fact, as I am typing, God is watering my flowers. Thank you, God.
So…. perhaps our creativity can be used in other areas (writing, singing, cooking, leadership, technology, dancing, etc., etc.). Thus, whatever your talent is (your area of expertise) why not put it to clever use today?
Yes, let the FIXING and creating begin!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/29/2026

Tis the Season to experience May 29, 2026, where today is NATIONAL PAPERCLIP DAY, INTERNATIONAL COQ AU VIN DAY, and NATIONAL BISCUIT DAY.
Are you thinking, “Karen, why and/or who would want to celebrate National Paperclip Day?” Well, maybe the ancestors of Samuel B. Fay; the gentleman that patented the paperclip in 1867. So, to celebrate the day, you could exam your stash of paper clips to see if you might be running low. Just allow today to be a reminder that you need some clips. You do know how handy they are when needed!
Now on to Coq Au Vin.
What’s that…. does it sound too French/fancy for your family? Granted it is French; thus, it does SOUND fancy. BUT…. it is simply chicken (often dark meat) braised with wine, lardons, mushrooms, and garlic (optional).
Still sounding too fancy…. allow me to get real. What do you think the root word is for lardons? Yes, it is LARD. I kid you not; Webster’s definition for lardons is “a strip (as of salt pork) with which meat is larded.”
Now, if you are still wondering if your family would appreciate this dish, why not serve it over a bed of noodles. Noodles make everything better.
I know, I know, make a batch of biscuits to go along with the Coq Au Vin. In southern vernacular, you can “sop-up” the juice with your biscuits.
AND for National Biscuit Day, do I have an easy biscuit recipe for you! For you that have been with me since the start of the blog in the Fall of 2016 (thank you so much), you probably know the recipe of which I refer. For a family that cooks a lot, I share very few recipes on this blog. I feel that most people already have their “family favorites,” but this biscuit recipe I even give to strangers……probably because it is so easy. It is two ingredients; I kid you not. It’s 1 ¼ cups of self-rising flour and 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Using the cream as milk, just mix the two together and roll out on a floured surface, just like you do any other biscuits. Cut out and bake as usual, too. If you think this sounds too good to be true, just try it!
Let the sopping begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/28/2026

Welcome to Thursday, May 28, 2026, where today is NATIONAL BRISKET DAY and NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY.
Now, are you serious about celebrating National Brisket Day? If so, and you plan to do your own brisket, you best get started. Really the best time would have been about 4:00 this A.M. If your brisket is not already in the smoker/grill, it would be best if you celebrate it by going to a specific restaurant that features brisket. Yes, that would be your best bet.
Thankfully, though, celebrating National Hamburger Day will be a lot easier to celebrate even if you prepare your own. As you know, for you that read my blog (thank you very much), May is National Hamburger Month and now we have finally gotten to the big day…. National Hamburger Day.
Since May is also National Barbecue Month, will you choose to grill your burgers? However, the same restaurant that serves briskets will probably serve burgers, too. The best of both worlds, don’t you think?
What else do you plan to do today to make your world as pleasant and wonderful as possible? What other fun activities are on your agenda? Whatever fun route you choose….
…. let the fun begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/27/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate May 27, 2026, where today is NATIONAL GRAPE POPSICLE DAY, NATIONAL CELLOPHANE TAPE DAY, and SUNSCREEN PROTECTION DAY.
Well, since we have just experienced the unofficial start of SUMMER…. with Memorial Day Weekend…. let’s stock up on grape popsicles and sunscreen. AND anything else needed to help get the SUMMER OF 2026 off to a good start. In fact, before heading out to shop, check your cellophane tape stash, to see if your supply is getting low. I do not think that many of us celebrate cellophane tape in a big fashion, but when we need it…. we need it. So, if needs be, add tape to that list, too.
What else are you taking part in today? I hear that some of you are still planning Graduation Parties. Plus, I am sure that several of you are still planting flowers and gardens for this season. However, in South Central Kentucky are we still to have one more day of RAIN? At first, the weather people were telling us that tomorrow might be our first dry day. HHhhmmnn, what do you think? I know that when the rain finally STOPS the yard mowing will START. But the rain was so needed. Have you ever seen such a DRY SPRING?
DRY or WET, THOUGH…. THE UNOFFICIAL START OF SUMMER……I am ready. How about you?
Yes, let the blessings begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/26/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate May 26, 2026, where today is NATIONAL BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE DAY, NATIONAL PAPER AIRPLANE DAY, WORLD REDHEAD DAY, and WORLD LINDY HOP DAY.
Since the world is celebrating Redheads, I think we should, too, don’t you? Actually, we notice Redheads every day (how can we not), but today we should let them know just how much we just love their hair!
Are some of you also thinking that you love, love, love Blueberry Cheesecake, also? Yep, me too!! Who knows, some of you might love making Paper Airplanes, too. If you are good at creating these paper missiles, have you shared your gift with some little ones in your family? I bet some of them would really love learning this craft. And maybe…. just maybe, together you can make some amazing aircraft this summer. Who knows…. you might have quite an impressive display before the summer is over!
Also, are you ready to MOVE more this summer, too.? Would you be more likely to get moving if the activity were more fun? What if it involved an aerobic exercise such as the Lindy Hop? Ok, ok, a very modified version of the Lindy Hop. We, Seniors, might not be able to make all the jumps, flips, and turns of the original Lindy Hop, but we are the generation that might remember the dance the most. Yes, we remember how exciting it looked, and how we would have liked to have accomplished some of the dancers’ acrobatic stunts.
No, Seniors, I am not recommending that you try some of those dance moves, but a modified version of the Lindy Hop just might me what you need to do to get moving in a fun-filled way.
BUT whether you make paper airplanes and/or do the Lindy-Hop today or not, please make a commitment to make this the best spring Tuesday possible.
Yes, let’s give it a try, please.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/25/2026

Welcome to the unofficial start of summer, but most importantly welcome to the OFFICIAL holiday that honors the men and women who died while serving in the military. Yes, Memorial Day, which was originally known as Decoration Day, became an official federal holiday in 1971.
To honor the memory of those that gave the ultimate sacrifice to help secure and maintain our Nation’s freedom, many counties will hold special ceremonies and parades today to honor our fallen soldiers and their families. Ceremonies that give us a better understanding of the importance and cost of our Nation’s freedom. The freedom to picnic today, the freedom to boat or 4-wheel today…. the freedom to be free.
Freedom! Oh, how we use that term so freely/loosely… nonchalantly at times…. when FREEdom is anything but FREE!! Our Nation’s freedom was purchased by a powerful military source. Some soldiers paid with an enormous amount of mental stress; others paid with loss of sight or a limb…. while others paid with their lives.
Yes, may young and old alike today spend a portion of this day honoring/remembering all the men and women who have died in active service for our country.
Here is to keeping the “memory” in Memorial Day.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

05/24/2026

Tis the Season to experience and enjoy Sunday, May 24, 2026, where today is NATIONAL ESCARGOT DAY, SCAVENGER HUNT DAY, BROTHER’S DAY, and ASPARAGUS DAY. Most importantly, though, it is a Day of Worship for many.
Then are you ready to consider Escargot? Do snails sound inviting to you today? Many folks in Portugal, Spain, and France love this little gastropod mollusk. Who knows! Try it! You might like them!
Or would you rather stick with asparagus? I love, love, love asparagus. Besides, since this is Barbecue Month, while your grill is hot, you could grill some asparagus. Great taste with very few calories. Yes, please, bring the asparagus. Now, what else will be on your grill? Since May is also Hamburger Month, I feel that grilling burgers would be a providential use of a hot grill. Sounds like a great idea to me!
Speaking of a wonderful idea/way to better this Memorial Day Weekend, I feel that celebrating Brothers would enhance any day. So, is a call or text to your cherished brother sounding good, and who knows…. where applicable, that call might result in a meeting for later in the day.
Also, are there some young people in your home that have officially started their Summer Break from school? I know that Wayne County’s last day was Thursday. Would a Scavenger Hunt be a fun way to celebrate for those students? Scavenger Hunts can be such fun and could just represent all the fun that this summer can bring to you and your family.
Yes, as you hunt for the items on your Scavenger List, also make another list of some other fun things you want your family to experience during the SUMMER OF 2026. Granted with the PRICE of EVERYTHING, activities that require little travel and added expense might need to be a requirement before the activities make the list. Yes, start making that list of frugal summer activities. With a Scavenger Hunt today, what will you find for next week’s fun?
Let the hunting begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.
