The hot air balloons lighting up the night sky must have been a spectacular sight. I'd loved to have seen it. I've seen the Grand Canyon. You definitely should see it. Glacier National Park, Yellowstone and Yosemite I would love to see. My Mom and Dad have been several times, so I've seen pictures, but it's just not the same. I want to see a buffalo. The only problem is I would want to touch it and that's not allow. Of course once I see the shear size of it I mite change my mind.lol. I wish our weather would make up it's mind. It was 70 degrees yesterday(Friday), 87 today, it's suppose to be warmer tomorrow and in the 90's during the week. I hope your weather is better with less smoke. Well, I've been updated to the new challenge. The big question is; did G5 fix the FWL problem? Its going to start being a problem before long. It probably already is for some.

August 26th: National WebMistress Day, National Dog Day, National Women’s Equality Day, and National Cherry Popsicle Day.

National WebMistress Day recognizes women in web development. A WebMistress is a woman who designs, develops, markets and maintains websites. While the term has existed since the mid-1990s, it officially entered technology’s lexicon in June of 1995 when Kat Valentine secured the domain name WebMistress.com and began web development under the job title WebMistress. The previously existing WebMaster had arrived on the scene as early as 1986 according to various classified ads. There are now thousands of women working under the job title WebMistress, but the word still raises eyebrows more than 20 years later. WebMistress has a place not only on the résumé but is a legitimate job title in the business world. Kat Valentine founded National WebMistress Day in June of 2016 to promote women in web design and celebrate the legitimacy of the job title.

National Dog Day encourages dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure, and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and abuse-free life. Dogs give us companionship; they keep us safe, and they aid those in need. It is a goal for many on National Dog Day to find homes for all dogs in need of a loving family. A dog is man’s best friend.

The United States Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the Constitution granting women full and equal voting rights on this day in 1920. Every year on August 26, we commemorate this right with National Women’s Equality Day. Seeds were planted for the women’s rights movement 80 years before when Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Staton, while in London at the World Anti-Slavery Convention, were denied access to the convention floor. Once back in The United States, along with Martha Wright, Mary Ann McClintock, and Jane Hunt, the women set in motion plans for the first woman’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Held at Wesleyan Chapel on July 19-20, 1848, the conference drew 200 women the first day. On the second day, the convention was opened to men, and some did attend. During the convention, 12 resolutions were presented. These resolutions enumerated the rights of that women should be equal to men socially, economically, legally and representatively. Of the resolutions, all but the 9th were approved unanimously. It was the right to vote that many women felt would cause many of their backers to withdraw their support. However, after much debate and the support of Abolitionist Frederick Douglass, the 9th resolution too passed. Woman’s suffrage would have its beginnings. Another advocate, Susan B. Anthony, joined Stanton in 1869 in creating the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Through nearly ten years of persistence and lobbying, the NWSA introduced an amendment in 1878 and after years of debate, to the floor of Congress in 1886, only to be defeated. It would take another 34 years, passing of batons, states entering the union with constitutions including the woman’s right to vote and civil disobedience for an amendment to be introduced and passed by Congress. By a joint resolution of Congress on August 26, 1971, the first Women’s Equality Day was Celebrated. Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY) sponsored the resolution and every year since each president declares this day as Women’s Equality Day commemorating the certification of the 19th Amendment to The United States Constitution.

Popsicle lovers across the United States enjoy National Cherry Popsicle Day. One evening in 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson mixed a batch of soda on his porch and left it with the stirring stick still in it for the night. That evening in San Francisco, California the temperature dipped to record lows and the following morning, Frank discovered instead of soda pop, a frozen treat on a stick. Inspired, he created the fruit-flavored “Popsicle”. It wasn’t until years later, in 1922 during a fireman’s ball, that he introduced his frosty treat. With the Popsicle’s huge success, Epperson proceeded to make and sell his frozen sweetness at an amusement park in Alameda, California. By 1924, he applied for a patent where he called it the “Epsicle” ice pop. He later renamed it “Popsicle”.

We've come a long way from women able to vote to women in high end paying jobs or own their own corporate businesses. All dogs deserve a good loving family home no matter what breed. And maybe you could share a popsicle with him or her. Cherry popsicles is one of my favorites.

Cherry🍒 flavor hugs and one huge, huge hug for toasted loaf because he's loved.❤️🍒🐶💕🌷💕
