Cook and Eat
Outside Day
It is good to realize that if
love and peace can prevail on earth,
and if we can teach our children
to honor nature’s gifts,
the joys and beauties of the
outdoors will be here forever.
~ Jimmy Carter
President Carter, we were all sad to hear of your diagnosis of cancer and glad to hear you appear to have beat it!. I’ll be keeping you in my heart. You are a good, good man.
Today is also known as Picnic Day. This quote MMS: The wonderful world of home appliances now makes it possible to cook indoors with charcoal and outdoors with gas.~ Bill Vaughan. BTW, today’s picture is of a toy stove from my classroom.
A favorite author of mine was born on this day in 1908. William Saroyan‘s words have moved me since I first picked up My Name is Aram, many decades ago. Click here to read a moving quote from The Time of Your Life. My son played the newspaper boy in ACT’s production in S.F., way back more than a decade ago.
Other birthdays of note include Richard Gere (1949), Maria Montessori (1870), and Van Morrison (1945).
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.
