National Themes For August 2: National Coloring Book Day, and National Ice Cream Sandwich Day.

🇬🇧🖍National Coloring Book Day! Coloring and coloring books have always been popular with children, but over the years adults have gotten more and more involved with coloring. Obviously, adult coloring is now a huge trend. Many find that it is a great way to reduce stress. Dover Publications was foubded in 1941. Dover released their first coloring book for adults, Antique Automobiles Coloring Book, in 1970. Dover now publishes Creative Haven®, a popular line of coloring books specially designed for adult colorists.

🍦National Ice Cream Sandwich Day! The original ice cream sandwich sold for a penny in 1900 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood of New York. The vendor, who was never identified in the article printed in papers across the nation, sandwiched the ice cream between milk biscuits. Soon, push carts popped up around the city and country during the summer months selling the portable treats. The modern version of the ice cream sandwich was invented by Jerry Newberg in 1945 when he was selling ice cream at Forbes Field. There are pictures from the early 1900s, “On the beach, Atlantic City”, that show Ice Cream Sandwiches were popular and sold for 1 cent each. There are alternatives to the classic ice cream sandwich using chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies or a rice crispy wafer in place of the original chocolate one. Ice cream sandwiches are known around the world by a variety of names including the Monaco Bar, Giant Sandwich, Maxibon, Cream Between, Vanilla Slice and many more.

Oh boy, I can eat my ice cream sandwich while coloring.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶🌤

We're off to Scotland for waterfalls this time. Stay tune for the next trip because we will be doing something new.

🇬🇧Scotland 💦Fall of Foyers is a 165 feet (51 m) waterfall on the River Foyers, which feeds Loch Ness, in Highland, Scotland, United Kingdom. The river enters Loch Ness on the East side, North-East of Fort Augustus. 💦Glenashdale Falls, is around 140 feet (45 metres) waterfall on the island of Arran, Scotland. There are a series of falls on the Glenashdale Burn, which flows from moorland near the summit of Tighvein eastwards towards Whiting Bay, from which there is a tourist trail leading some 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) up Glenashdale.

💦Plodda Falls is a waterfall, situated 5 km south-west of the village of Tomich, near Glen Affric, in the Highlands of Scotland. The falls are 46 m (151 ft) high and are on the Allt na Bodachan, near where it flows into the Abhainn Deabhag, which in turn joins with the River Affric to form the River Glass.

💦Steall Waterfall is situated in Glen Nevis near Fort William, Highland, Scotland. It is Scotland's second highest waterfall with a single drop of 120 metres (390 ft). The fall can be viewed from the path that runs through the Nevis Gorge, an area owned by the John Muir Trust which manages the area for its wilderness qualities. An Steall Bàn means "The White Spout" in Gaelic.
