There's a lot of ways to celebrate National Bubba Day. Acting like a "Bubba" is your starting point. Cards, parties and other celebrations are definitely in order. Gift giving is optional. . I have been Bubba to my sister for years and love every time she calls me Bubba...
On Friday, June 4th it is Hug Your Cat Day. Go ahead and give your cat a big, furry hug.
Cat lovers can really get into this day. If you're a cat lover, you can really appreciate the warm, cozy feeling you get when you curl up on a couch or chair, and hug your cat. The only problem is, your cat will most likely only allow a brief hug before sauntering away. If your cat is a true hugger, count your blessings.
Dog lovers...sorry, giving hugs to our kids will not suffice. If you are going to be "into" this day, you simply must hug a cat...your cat. Don't have a cat, don't fret, June is "Adopt a Cat Month".
Also on the first Friday of June, June 6, 2014 is National Doughnut Day. This day honors the Salvation Army "Lassies" of WWI. It is also used as a fund raiser for needy causes of the Salvation Army.
The original Salvation Army Doughnut
was first served by Salvation Army in 1917. During WWI, Salvation Army
"lassies" were sent to the front lines of Europe. These brave
volunteers made home cooked foods, and provided a morale boost to the troops. Often,
the doughnuts were cooked in oil inside of the metal helmet of an American
soldier. The American infantrymen were commonly called doughboys. Salvation
Army lassies were the only women outside of military personnel allowed to visit
the front lines. Lt. Colonel Helen Purviance is considered the Salvation
Army's "first doughnut girl".
On National Doughnut Day, look to see
if your local doughnut shop, or other organizations, are offering free donuts
to solicit donations for the Salvation Army or for another needy cause. If you
find them, please be generous.
The term "Doughboy" was
popular in referring to U.S. Army infantryman during World War I. American foot
soldiers were occasionally called doughboys during the Civil War. The earliest
references to the term, comes from the U.S-Mexican war.
I close this entry
with one of my favorite days... June 8 is Best Friends Day. Best Friend Day is a time to enjoy and appreciate your best
friend. It's a day to honor and cherish the relationship.
If you're lucky, you have
a best friend. If you are real lucky, you have a number of best friends. Best
friends are very, very special people. You spend countless hours with your best
friend going to events and activities, or just hanging out. You share secrets,
hopes, dreams, aspirations, and disappointments with your best friend.
Some folks say you can
only have one best friend. This author disagrees. You can have a couple at the
same time, or several over time. Friends come and go for a variety of reasons.
It's the result of many things, including moving, changing schools or jobs, and
more. We hope that you are lucky enough to have a number of best friends
over the years.
I know I will be thinking
of one Very Special Best Friend this year and wishing he was still here to
celebrate with me...
