National Themes For May 23rd: National Lucky Penny Day, and National Taffy Day.

💰National Lucky Penny Day! See a penny, pick it up… All day long you’ll have good luck. Years ago a penny was able to buy something. Today, due to inflation, the penny does not buy much of anything. The metal value and cost of minting pennies exceed their face value. Many nations have stopped minting equivalent value coins and efforts are being made to end the routine use of pennies in several countries including the United States. 1793 – The first pennies in the United States were made of copper.

🍬National Taffy Day! Taffy candy has been made and sold for many years and has become a favorite souvenir of many vacationers. Salt water taffy was invented in 1883 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This confection is made with boiled sugar and butter that is stretched and pulled until it is a chewy consistency that can be rolle and cut. The flavors range from buttery to tart to sweet. Taffy’s colorful displays have tantalized children and adults alike for generations. And, since today is also Lucky Penny Day, it was also one of the penny candies that once could be bought for a penny.

My hubby is the lucky penny guy. He puts almost all of he's penny's in a jar and keeps them. I love taffy but it sticks to my dental work.

I'm in the presents of talent!LOL I'll just sit here on my little bench and watch.😀

Well, tomorrow is a state day, so lace up your hiking boots.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶⛈🌧🌦☀️
