National Themes For May 26th: National Blueberry Cheesecake Day, and National Paper Airplane Day.

🍰National Blueberry Cheesecake Day! Cheesecake is a sweet dessert that is a mixture of fresh soft cheese, cream cheese or cottage cheese, eggs and sugar on a crust made from crushed graham crackers, crushed cookies, pastry or sponge cake. Cheesecakes can be prepared baked or unbaked and are often served topped with fruit, chocolate or whipped cream. There are many varieties of cheesecake. However, this day honors the blueberry cheesecake.

✈️National Paper Airplane Day commemorates the simple aeronautical toy that’s been around for thousands of years. Flying paper planes is an inexpensive, healthy, and stimulating form of entertainment. The use of paper airplanes is believed to have originated 2,000 years ago in China. The earliest known date of the creation of modern paper planes was said to have been in 1909. ✨The largest paper aircraft had a wingspan of 59.74 ft. Students and employees made it in Germany on September 28, 2013. ✨The distance record (226 feet, 10 inches) was set by Joe Ayoob, with a plane in February 2012. ✨The record time for the longest-lasting paper airplane flight is 29.2 seconds. There’s more than one way to fold paper for a test flight. Find tips for designs at www.foldnfly.com. The four forces that influence the flight of a paper airplane are thrust, lift, gravity, and drag. ✨When you throw the plane forward, this is called thrust. ✨Lift is a force that acts on the wings and helps the plane to move up. Big wings increase lift. ✨Gravity is the force that pulls the plane down. The right materials can create a lighter aircraft that stays up for longer. ✨Drag is caused by the tail of the plane and is the opposite of thrust, and it makes the plane slow down. There are paper airplane contests that compete for the top place in two categories, Distance and Time to float.

I'll pass on the blueberry cheesecake and stick to my New York Cheesecake. Now I know how to fly a paper airplane.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🌤
