National Themes For July 26th: National Aunt and Uncle’s Day, National Bagelfest Day, National Coffee Milkshake Day, National All or Nothing Day, National Talk in an Elevator Day, National System Administrator Appreciation Day, and National Get Gnarly Day.

🌳Aunt and Uncle’s Day! Through holidays, special family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold a special place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories. National Aunt and Uncle’s Day provides an opportunity to spend time with those relatives we trusted and leaned on growing up. It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.

🥐National Bagelfest Day! This crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle bread is very popular in the USA and Canada. Served with a variety of toppings as well as produced in a variety of flavors, bagel shops are a staple in most communities across the country. Polish-Jewish immigrants introduced the bagel to the United States. They grew thriving businesses in New York City and throughout the surrounding boroughs. In 1907, the International Beigel Bakers’ Union was created. For decades, Bagel Bakers Local 338 held contracts with nearly all bagel bakeries in and around the city for its workers. Until the 1960s, bakeries made bagels by hand. Then Daniel Thompson invented the bagel maker and along came a heated debate of man versus the machine. Which was better, the handcrafted beigel or the manufactured bagel? The bagel became more common throughout North America during the last quarter of the 20th century. Credit for the bagels’ spread across the country goes in part to the efforts of bagel baker Harry Lender, his son, Murray Lender, and Florence Sender. Their pioneering efforts led to automated production and distribution of frozen bagels in the 1960s. Murray also invented pre-slicing the bagel. Murray Lender, the owner of Lenders Bagels, founded National Bagelfest Day. In 1986, Murray started the festival in Mattoon, Illinois, home of the world’s largest bagel factory.

☕️🍦National Coffee Milkshake Day! The combination of creamy ice cream blended with your favorite flavor of coffee on a hot summer day can hit the spot. Add chocolate and make it a mocha!

🇺🇸🏅National All or Nothing Day allows people to throw caution to the wind and go for broke. We all have dreams we hold back, decisions left to make or plans uncompleted. On National All or Nothing Day people break free of everything holding them back. Everyone has at least one thing that they would like to overcome, need to do or want to do but might be fearful or hesitant to do so. This is the day to take that first step and go for it. Whether we make a public announcement, apply for the job we’ve been eying, or mend a fence, sometimes we need to take that first step. When other days on the calendar don’t urge us to make a decision or change, this one will. Define your goal. Enlist help from a friend or family member to encourage you. You can even choose a challenge you can do together. Whatever has been holding you back, get out there an tackle it! We all have something we desire to change, celebrate by marking the calendar for the first day of making that change.

🗣National Talk In An Elevator Day encourages people to make conversation while riding in an elevator. Most of us use this time to check our smart devices for email, messages, appointments and other notifications. Take a break and meet someone new while riding in an elevator.

👩‍💻National System Administrator Appreciation Day. This day is also known as Sysadmin Day, SysAdminDay, SAD or SAAD. National System Administrator Day was created to show appreciation for the work of sysadmins and other IT workers. The official SysAdmin Day website includes suggestions for the proper observation of this day. There are some geek and Internet culture businesses, like ThinkGeek and CafePress, that honor this holiday with special product offerings, discounts and contests and various folk songs have been written to commemorate System Administrator Day. E-cards are available to be sent to celebrate this special occasion. This holiday has been recognized and has been promoted by many IT professional organizations, the League of Professional System Administrators and Sage/Usenix. National System Administrator Appreciation Day was created by Ted Kekatos. Kekatos was inspired by a Hewlett-Packard magazine advertisement in which a system administrator was given flowers and fruit baskets by grateful co-workers as a ‘thank-you’ for installing new printers. Prior to seeing this advertisement, Kekatos had just installed several of the same models of printers at his place of work. The first System Administrator Appreciation Day was celebrated on July 28, 2000.

🏄National Get Gnarly Day! The word “Gnarly” gets a bad rap. It can mean “bad” or “dangerous” but can also be exciting, which is why surfers often use the term to describe the waves they tackle. Much like surfers challenging the waves, National Get Gnarly Day challenges us to put some gnarliness into everything we do.

This week I'm filling up on ice cold lemonade shake ups made with real lemons. And one funnel cake. It's county fair time! Wow! Another nice waterfall Lidewey.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶🌤

I went to Massachusetts looking for waterfalls this time. The Goldmine is my favorite. I like how rock formation gives them a unique look. 🇺🇸Massachusetts Waterfalls🇺🇸

💦Goldmine Brook Falls (15-20 ft. (5-7m.)) are found just off of US-20, northwest of Huntington and southeast of Chester, Massachusetts.

💦Royalston Falls is a 50 foot (15 m) waterfall and granite gorge located in Royalston, Massachusetts along Falls Brook, a tributary of the Tully River which in turn is a tributary of the Millers River.

💦Bash Bish Falls, a waterfall in Bash Bish Falls State Park in the Taconic Mountains of southwestern Massachusetts. It is the highest waterfall in the state. The falls are made up of a series of cascades, nearly 200 feet (61 m) in total, with the final cascade being split into twin falls by a jutting rock, dropping in an 80-foot (24 m) "V" over boulders to a serene pool below.

Stay tuned you don't want to miss the next five waterfalls from the land down under. They are awesome. One of them I just wanted to jump right in the picture. I'm changing my happy place to there.
