August 17
Made in the
Shade Day
Hide not your talents.
They, for use, were made.
What’s a sundial in the shade?
~ Benjamin Franklin
It’s Coffee Cake over on our AUGUST calendar of a month full of Smiley Silliness. Yum! Extra crumbly cinnamon topping for me, please.
Best of all it’s National Thrift Store Day!! WooHoo, how appropriate that it falls on my half birthday! I love the treasure hunt aspect of thrift stores; often you find nothing and then there’s that day when you find something just perfect. I love thrift stores. I love my birthday. I love my half birthday. What’s not to love?
Sean Penn celebrates a birthday today (1960). A former wife of his, celebrated her birthday just yesterday. Do you know whom I mean? You do if you get the daily Smiley-a-Day emailer.
Today we remember the birthday of Davy Crockett (1786) who is credited with saying, “Let your tongue speak what your heart thinks.”
BTW, the Smileys and holidays on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see here on the website’s Daily Smiley.
