Tis the Season, 55 1275 South, Monticello, KY (2025)

06/15/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Sunday, June 15, 2025, where for many of us, today is a day to worship our heavenly father. It is also a day that we honor our earthly fathers, too.
On this Father’s Day, I know that many of you have plans to truly honor…. shower your dad with a Royal Day. Good for you!!! Whether that treasured man is your biological dad or a gentleman that won that title in another manner, such as being a stepdad.
Guess what I just thought? It is how much I dislike the term stepdad. I know the name serves a great purpose, but if has a second-place sound…. kind of like the word “substitute”. Where, in fact, in many circumstances the word STEP could take on a new meaning and become a better verb than adjective. As in the man that STEPPED up and attended all your school and sporting events. The man that STEPPED up and cared for you and your mom in a very loving, safe manner. The man that STEPPED up and raised you in a godly home.
Yes, if you were raised by a dad (either biological or some other status) that stepped up and took you to church, your dad knew best!! Please celebrate him today even if he now lives in Glory. And for you dads that are not presently in church, please consider taking your cues from our Heavenly Father……who truly does know best!!!
AND……and for you folks honored to be a father, may you truly have a BLESSED day. Plus, you that are BLESSED with a wonderful dad, I trust that you give your best effort in showing your dad just how much he is treasured!! Happy celebrating!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Saturday, June 14, 2025, where today is FLAG DAY, NATIONAL STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE DAY, NATIONAL CUCUMBER DAY, and WORLD BLOOD DONOR DAY.
Seems like a very patriotic, delicious, and noble day.
Let us start with Flag Day which is celebrated on June 14 to commemorate the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777. For many of us, the flag is a beautiful aesthetic symbol of freedom. It also represents the countless number of women and men who paid the ultimate price for that freedom. To honor this day, if you do not already have a flag flying in your front yard, would you like to consider rectifying that with a flag placement today? Many folks use a flag theme in their yard from Memorial Day through Labor Day. That time frame is great for the 4th of July, too.
I think Strawberry Shortcake sounds great, too, don’t you? Whether you make your own cake, or use a store-bought pound cake, etc., your base will be great. When you top your foundation with strawberries and cream (either ice cream or whipped cream) well……Bon Appetit.
My palette was also attracted to National Cucumber Day, too, especially since it is almost time for home-grown cucumbers in my neighborhood. Maybe you are even already harvesting some; if so, lucky you.
After satisfying your palette, will you consider participating in World Blood Donor Day, too? Countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day each year on June 14. The aim of this day is to provide safe and adequate blood supplies around the world. The goal is to also increase the number of volunteers, as in unpaid donors, to give blood regularly. Would you like to become a Blood Donor today and help them reach that goal?
So, there you have it. June 14 is suggesting that you highlight this day by displaying the United States Flag, enjoying some Strawberry Shortcake and Cucumbers and donating blood (when applicable).
Do you have other great ideas to add to this day labeled June 14, 2025?
Let the adding begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

06/13/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Friday, June 13, 2025 (yes, I said Friday the 13th, ooo) where today is NATIONAL W**D YOUR GARDEN DAY, NATIONAL SEWING MACHINE DAY, NATIONAL CUPCAKE LOVER’S DAY, and NATIONAL KITCHEN KLUTZES OF AMERICA DAY.
Weeding your garden is unavoidable…. along with mowing yards, too (unless you want to live in a jungle). However, in Kentucky the weather might dictate when and how much you w**d today. Yes, some weather forecasters are predicting some rain for today.
Now for National Sewing Machine Day and those that love sewing, how will you choose to celebrate this day? Rain or not, you can celebrate this day. Now, to truly celebrate the day you might find it very appropriate to purchase a new sewing machine today, too. You know, the machine you have been dreaming of and eyeing for months…. maybe years. Yes, purchasing that machine today would be a Sew Perfect way to honor this celebration. Then…. how about some CUPCAKES to celebrate your purchase? Why…. maybe you can even let your KITCHEN KLUTZ make the cupcakes. Yes/no?
Yes, is this the day you finally let the Klutzes in the kitchen? If your insurance is up to date and your fire extinguisher is functional, maybe this is the day to allow them to fix cupcakes, lunch, or supper. Or…. OR is this the day you finally give them a day off because the kitchen needs a break. If you give them a break in the kitchen, maybe they could help you w**d the garden.
Oh, oh, I get it! That is not a promising idea either, right? Yes, maybe you do need to protect your plants from them, too. Well, they are your Klutz, so honor them in the way that deems best for your family.
In fact, that seems like a great idea for all of us. On this day, let us try to do what will be best, most enjoyable for all of us. This is the only Friday, June 13, 2025, that you will ever experience, so treat her with respect, and maybe she will offer you many enjoyable possibilities.
Yes, here is to great possibilities whether you are a Klutz or not.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

06/12/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Thursday, June 12, 2025, where today is NATIONAL JERKY DAY, NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY, NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DAY, and NATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE PROFESSIONALS’ DAY.
I want to start with Automotive Service Professionals’ Day for it is also Automotive Service Professionals’ Month. There…. it is official; we need to show some appreciation to the folks that keep our cars running. Yes, either today, this week, or at least sometime this month, show this population some love.
Plus, with the ever-growing price of new and used cars and trucks, we need to keep our present vehicle running more than ever. Thus, more reason to show some appreciation to the Auto Mechanics/Technicians that keep our present vehicle moving, because we do not know how long we are going to need to keep said vehicle.
Would they appreciate a rose? You never know. Perhaps some Jerky. I know that with the Keto Diet, more and more people are snacking on Jerky. Ok, ok, I have not sold you yet?? How about some Peanut Butter Cookies? Now we are talking, right?
I hope you have time today to pull out the family’s treasured Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe and make this delicious treat. A treat that will not only have your home smelling delightful, but the taste will also prove even more delightful! The experience can be quite memorable, too…. really.
Yes, to this very day I can remember getting off the school bus and once entering the house being greeted with an amazing aromatic welcoming. My precious mama had timed it just right for Jana, Duck, and Karen (her kids) to have some just-out-of-the-oven Peanut Butter Cookies.
See…. see just how memorable Peanut Butter Cookies can be!! I say it is time to make some memories.
Let the memory-making begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

06/10/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Tuesday, June 10, 2025, where today is NATIONAL BALLPOINT PEN DAY, NATIONAL BLACK COW DAY, NATIONAL ICED TEA DAY, and NATIONAL HERBS AND SPICES DAY.
Are you thinking, Karen, I know why we celebrate food and drink, but why the Ballpoint Pen? First, we celebrate it today as June 10 is the anniversary of the patent filing of the Ballpoint Pen in 1943. To celebrate the day, you could refurbish your stash of pens. You would just be following the crowd because 15 million pens are purchased around the world each day. Yes, join the crowd.
In the South, you would also be joining the crowd if you celebrate National Iced Tea Day today…. especially if it is SWEET Tea!! For you that love Sweet Tea do you use McDonald’s Sweet Tea as your benchmark/reference? I ask this because I was at a restaurant one day, and I heard another guest ask the server, “How sweet is your Sweet Tea”. The waiter said, “Well, it is sweet, but not as sweet as McDonald’s”.
Now, to celebrate National Herbs and Spices Day I would like to look deeper into Herbal Therapy. I am hearing more and more about how turmeric helps inflammation, and I think it is time to check it out. Plus, for years we have been hearing how it is better to use more herbs and spices and less salt. Ok, ok, I hear the medical experts, but my palette seems to not have gotten the message yet.
Just as I just might try a Black Cow today in honor of National Black Cow Day. If I have ever had this chocolate syrup, cream, coke, and chocolate ice cream combination…. I cannot remember it. I do like chocolate syrup, though, as well as cream….and certainly “Yes” to Coca-Cola and chocolate ice cream.
And I say “Yes” to making this Tuesday as wonderful as possible! Are you game too?
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

06/09/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Monday, June 9, 2025, which is NATIONAL DONALD DUCK DAY and NATIONAL STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE DAY.
One reason we celebrate Donald Duck today is simply because he is one charming (albeit grumpy) creature/duck. However, we also celebrate him TODAY for it was on June 9, 1934, that Donald Duck had his first screen debut in The Wise Little Hen.
Yes, 1934 was an important year for this duck, though, because it was this year that the Walt Disney Company created Donald Fauntleroy Duck. This is no normal duck, though, because Donald Duck’s typical attire is a sailor shirt, cap, and bow tie. He is also known for his temperament/personality, which often is angry and gruff. Some have speculated that his anger is the result of the fear that the world is out to get him and that no one understands. Poor Donald. Can some of us relate?
Well, that is the reason that we celebrate Donald Duck today. However, I am not sure why we celebrate Strawberry Rhubarb Pie today other than it is delicious and maybe…. maybe because rhubarb is starting to appear in some gardens. Unfortunately, to some degree, though, fresh strawberries have stopped producing in my region. Hopefully, though, if you decide to celebrate the day, you can find your strawberries at the grocery. For the rhubarb, well, just find it wherever you can….maybe in your freezer.
Finding a recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (at least on the internet) will be quite easy, though. Study them and decide which appears best to you. You might want to choose the one that calls for the most sugar, though, for this is one tart pie!! So tart, that a dallop of vanilla ice cream pairs well with the pie.
As you are enjoying the pie, you can connect to your Donald Duck persona, by acting all grumpy about how tart the pie is. But when you ask for seconds, everyone will know that it is just an act.
Let the acting begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

06/08/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Sunday, June 8, 2025, where today is NATIONAL JELLY-FILLED DOUGHNUT DAY and NATIONAL BEST FRIENDS DAY!! It is also a Day of Worship for many.
I would like to start and end this day celebrating BEST FRIENDS for that is a category where I am truly blessed. For you that are ALSO blessed with great best friends, I am sure you “Amen” my sentiment. We know how blessed we are, don’t we, to have such treasured friends. Today, even if it is just a text to celebrate the significance of Best Friends Day or an All-Out Entire Day of Celebrations, this is the day to thank God and those best friends for being just that…. THE BEST!!
Now, you could start the day early with them and enjoy some Jelly-Filled Doughnuts together. (We will just pretend we didn’t get the memo that says as Americans we are eating too much sugar!) Or as a best friend, if your dear friends are on a diet, you just might try another celebration to make this day special. Would a Monthly Celebration such as NATIONAL FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES MONTH or NATIONAL GREAT OUTDOORS MONTH fit the bill?
Whatever it is, as BEST FRIENDS you know how to have a fun time together, so have at it!! Even if time will not allow for a specific celebration today, you can start planning an incredibly special trip/event together for the near future. As you know, there is nothing like a FRIENDS ROAD TRIP.
Bottom line, though, however you spend this day labeled June 8, 2025, allow yourself the opportunity to fully enjoy this experience called LIFE!!
Amen!!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Friday, June 6, 2025, where today is NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION DAY, NATIONAL GARDENING EXERCISE DAY, NATIONAL YO-YO DAY, NATIONAL DRIVE-IN MOVIE DAY, NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY, and NATIONAL APPLESAUCE CAKE DAY.
For the first Friday in June, we are to celebrate the Doughnut; I’m in. Plus, Applesauce Cake Day sounds delicious, doesn’t it? Especially if the Applesauce Cake has Caramel Frosting.
Are you also celebrating with someone just graduating from an institute of Higher Education or someone who will be entering their Higher Education Walk this fall? On this National Higher Education Day, you might even celebrate the day by finally deciding that it is time for you to start and/or continue/finish your degree.
Now for National Gardening Exercise Day, some of you might just be ready to hit the gym, the garden gym, that is. So often I have thought about people going to the gym to work out or buying the newest/best piece of exercise equipment when I was out hauling brush, digging holes to house another plant, w**d-eating, tilling, etc. Bottom line, gardening is EXERCISE…. where the end results might be a more agile body AND beautiful flowers, vegetables, etc.
Now, since gardening truly is work, should I end this blog with more playful possibilities? Do you have a Yo-Yo hidden in a drawer somewhere? Or if applicable, how about loading up your car tonight and heading to the Drive-In. However, for the folks in south central Kentucky this has not been as easy for us for going on for four years now. Yes, when we got the word that our treasured Highway 27 Drive- was not opening for the 2022 Season, we were so disappointed. Yes, a CHERISHED ASPECT of our community ceased to be, and I am sad to report that it remains closed. There was some dialogue with hope that it would re-open, but presently the 27 Twin Screens remain blank, and an icon of family fun is missing in Pulaski County. Time moves on, though, and it should be our challenge to make this Friday as enjoyable as possible. So, Friday, let’s see what you’ve got.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

06/05/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Thursday, June 5, 2025, where today is NATIONAL KETCHUP DAY, NATIONAL VEGGIE BURGER DAY, NATIONAL START OVER DAY, and NATIONAL ATTITUDE DAY.
Let us start with ATTITUDE, ok! Hopefully, each day we have “An Attitude of Gratitude,” but on this day we might want to really school our attitude on the positive side. HHhhmmnn, it seems like a perfect time to address our attitude, don’t you think, since today is National Start Over Day? In addition to attitude, what other element of your life would you like a DO-OVER? Is today the day to address that aspect of your life?
Speaking of starting over, did National Veggie Burger Day whet your appetite? Many people swear by them and say that you can hardly tell them from meat burgers. I suppose that is more likely to be true if you have the right condiments, such as ketchup!
For National Ketchup Day, would you like to catch up (you know I had to do that) on some ketchup trivia? Ketchup has some interesting history even with its spelling. According to FOODIMENTARY, by the end of the seventeenth century, British sailors began returning home from the Far East with a food condiment consisting of fermented fish guts and spices.
Say what? I thought we were honoring TOMATO ketchup! Well, hold on; you cannot rush history.
First, back to the fermented fish guts where this condiment was called catchup from the Chinese word koechiap. Thankfully, though, during the 1700s and 1800s, the English experimented with the recipe and soon some recipes used anchovies, tomatoes, and vinegar. It continued to be called catsup when the H.J. Heinz Company first started producing its famous condiment in 1876. Shortly after in the 1880s, though, they changed the spelling to KETCHUP!! Bottom line aren’t you glad we are celebrating TOMATOES today instead of FISH ENTRAILS!
As we run from the idea of Fish Guts, where will this day lead you? As I type, I continue thinking about NATIONAL START OVER DAY. How many of us have ALMOST given up on a dream that is still so important to us? Could today be the day to address that VISION?
If so, best wishes!!!
Until we meet again. See you, bye

06/04/2025

For this Wednesday, June 4, 2025, would you like to celebrate NATIONAL CHEESE DAY and NATIONAL HUG YOUR CAT DAY?
Say CHEESE, please.
You could have a Cheese Tray and/or cook/enjoy your favorite Cheese Dish (grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, cheese dip, cheese pizza, baked brie in puff pastry, cheesecake, etc., etc.). What is your favorite cheese for cooking and baking? What is your favorite snacking cheese? I guess my favorite is Havarti, but I also have a palette for cheddar, too. I know! How about a Charcuterie Board? With several different cheeses on your board, I am sure something will be to everyone’s liking.
Speaking of likes, does your cat allow you to hug him or her? Do you want to at least try it for NATIONAL HUG YOUR CAT DAY? Any cat lover/owner knows how cats have their own personality and approach to life. They are pretty much in charge; so, you decide (for your betterment and safety) whether to hug or not to hug. Besides, there are other ways to acknowledge that they truly are top dog (sorry, feline) in your home.
Whether you own a cat…. wait a minute, let me rephrase that. Whether a cat owns you or not, may you have a near purrfect day today!!
Let perfection begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

Tis the Season to celebrate Tuesday, June 3, 2025, where today is NATIONAL EGG DAY. What an EGGcellent way to approach the day! Yes, I said that……even though eggs are still costing a great deal more than they did in the past. However, in some areas the price of eggs is truly coming down. Thus, I think most will be able to celebrate them today. So, let’s talk EGGS!
Eggs…. most of us love them solo, but we often use them in many sweet and savory dishes/recipes, too. Plus, we know they are an excellent source of protein. So, I was intrigued as soon as I saw that today was National Egg Day. Thus, as I often do when preparing my daily blog, I did a little research. I discovered some interesting facts. For example, according to FOODIMENTARY, “We Americans love our eggs, with most people eating an average of 250 eggs a year.” Wow, that is a lot when you consider that one hen lays about 250-300 eggs per year. Yes, many of us are keeping at least one hen busy.
My research on eggs quickly enhanced my appreciation for hens, too. I discovered that the average hen has two years of egg production. Thus, in those two productive years, the hen will lay around 530 eggs. During her productive years (minus the molting season), the hen will average two eggs a day.
See what I mean when I say that some of us are really keeping the hens busy. Just consider Angel Food Cake. An Angel Food Cake takes approximately twelve egg whites. Every time we eat an Angel Food Cake; we need to thank at least SIX hens!!! Besides, Angel Food Cake, how else do you take advantage of the hen’s offerings.
So, how about it? Are you ready to celebrate the egg today? It just might help make this One Most EGGcellent Day! Ok, I will hush.
Let the feast begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

06/02/2025

Tis the Season to celebrate Monday, June 2, 2025, 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.
