Tick Tock
Day
With the past,
I have nothing to do;
nor with the future.
I live now.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today you’ll see Upholstery Smiley on the monthly calendar for Upholstery Day. I found this really great one in the lobby of the hotel we stayed in during the medical mission to the Philippines with Operation Smile in June of 2014. I hope to go on a mission every year! There truly is nothing I’ve done that has given me so much joy. So far I’ve been to Paraguay and the Philippines. I can’t wait to get my next assignment.
Bowling Balls Smiley
The Bowling Ball with holes for your fingers and thumb made its debut on this day in 1862. The bowling shirt, quite a few decades later.
It is Pepper Pot Day. Not quite sure what is meant by that. But as a gal who loves peppers, I’m in for eating a whole pot of roasted peppers today.
Pepper Smiley
Here are all the folks we can imagine celebrating their birthdays with peppers instead of cake as they party at the bowling alley: Jon Voight (1938), Mary Tyler Moore (1936), Mekhi Phifer (1974), and Ted Danson (1947).
And don’t forget it’s Make Resolutions That Start With the Words I WILL Week over on a month full of Smiley Silliness. “One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things.”~ John Burroughs
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.
