January 7th: National Bobblehead Day, National Tempura Day, and National Thank God It’s Monday Day.

🍁National Bobblehead Day! This day recognizes a day of celebration for all spring-connected head bobbing figurines. Bobbleheads have been around for over 100 years and are found in different shapes and sizes. However, none are more popular than those that depict athletes, professional sports teams, mascots, cartoon characters, and celebrities. On November 18, 2014, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum was announced. The museum opened in 2016 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and will house the world’s largest collection of bobbleheads, a hall of fame section for the best bobbleheads, as well as many exhibits related to the history and making of bobbleheads, and much more.

🍤🌽🥕National Tempura Day! A Japanese dish made up of either seafood or vegetables that are battered and deep-fried. Portuguese Jesuit missionaries introduced the recipe for tempura to Japan during the sixteenth century (around 1549). It is believed that Portuguese Jesuit Tokugawa Isyasu, founder and first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, loved tempura. Since the Genroku era (September 1688–March 1704) tempura was originally a very popular food that was eaten at street vendors called ‘yatai’. Today, chefs all over the world include tempura dishes on their menus using a wide variety of different batters and ingredients including the nontraditional broccoli, zucchini and asparagus as well as dry fruits. Some meats, usually chicken and cheeses, particularly mozzarella are known to be served tempura-style in some American restaurants. For sushi lovers, a more recent variation of tempura sushi has the entire pieces of sushi being dipped in batter and tempura-fried.

🍁National Thank God It’s Monday Day! This day was created to celebrate all things that will occur on a Monday in the upcoming year, such as; a new job, promotion, birthdays, holidays, vacations, etc. This is also a day, which starts out the first full week of the new year, to look ahead with real hope, energy, enthusiasm and excitement for all things to come in the next 12 months.

Who knew there was a Hall of Fame and Museum for Bobbleheads. May have to include it in the things to do in Wisconsin.😂 I'll take a pass on the tempura. And I'm happy for all of those good things that happen on a Monday. Actually any day.

SnowS pyramid is now officially 4th generation. But I don't get it! It change from light blue to darker blue. (Sorry I'd been putting Orb and it should have been Pyramid.🤷‍♀️) My Orb changed to red for forth generation. Does any one know if that's right?

Sending warm hugs!😷🐶💕❄️💕
