National Themes For July 23rd: Gorgeous Grandma Day, and National Vanilla Ice Cream Day.

👵Gorgeous Grandma Day recognizes all women of a certain age whether they are grandmothers or not. Not all women become grandmothers. Those who do, don’t necessarily fit the traditional mold any longer. Though there comes the point in many women’s lives when it might be assumed they are grandmothers even if they’re not. Gorgeous Grandma Day embraces the age of the nana and encourages all women to flaunt their granny attitudes with purpose and style. While some grandmas fit the traditional mold with gray hair and cookie-baking, home-making, hug-giving, child-spoiling energy to spare, many grannies sport a whole new role. Many take the part of grandma to the children in their lives. No matter the type of grandmother they are, they’re all different. Some play the hippest games, wear the latest styles and know how to find the best deals on technology. The grandkids can’t keep up! Funny, sassy and energetic grandmas, rebel grannies and smart grannies make the grade, too. These fantastic women pass down family traditions while teaching us to stand on our own. Full of wisdom and wit, what would we do without our nanas? They go by many names, but they’re all gorgeous in their own way. On Gorgeous Grandma Day, let the grandmothers in your life know how much they mean to you. Alice Solomon created Gorgeous Grandma Day in 1984 to honor women of a certain age whether they were grandmothers or not. It’s a time to recognize their accomplishments and their abilities. Their lives have only just begun. No matter your age, be your gorgeous self. Maybe you’re a grandma, and perhaps you’re not. It doesn’t matter. Own the attitude and celebrate.

🍦National Vanilla Ice Cream Day! As part of National Ice Cream Month and not too far behind National Ice Cream Day, National Vanilla Ice Cream Day honors one of the most popular of the ice cream flavors. In North America, the most common use of vanilla flavoring is for ice cream and many people consider vanilla to be the ‘default’ flavor. It is believed that Thomas Jefferson discovered the vanilla flavor when he was in France and then introduced it to the United States. Jefferson produced a handwritten copy of a vanilla ice cream recipe in the 1780′s, which is now housed at the Library of Congress. The Thomas Jefferson ice cream is available at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.

I think both my Grandmothers were gorgeous and I miss them both very much. I'm trading my ice cream in for a real lemonade shake up. It's my county fair time it's the only time I can get one or two or three. Not on the same day though. If you guys figure out how to get out of that hammock gracefully do share.

We had thunderstorms go through last evening and night leaving us with cooler weather, 76° today. The rest of the week is suppose to be around 80°.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🐶⛅️

We're on our to Greece for waterfalls this time. Hope you like them, I know I do. Agia Varvara waterfall is my favorite. I like the rock formation around it.

🇬🇷Greece🇬🇷 💦Agia Varvara waterfall (15m (50 foot)) is located close to the village of Dipotama in the Arkoudorema valley. Its waters form a small lake and the area around it has been landscaped as a leisure area by the Forest Agency. The road to the right of the Arkoudorema, one of many, has very interesting rocks and paths & impressive landscape.

💦Theodoriana waterfall is a twin fall in the Tzoumerka, Peristeri & Arahthos National Park in the region Epirus, Greece with two singel drops of appr. 25 meter (82 feet). The waterfalls are located just outside the small village of Theodoriana (between Ambracia and Trikala).

💦Edessa waterfalls in Edessa Greece. The waterfall is actually multiple waterfalls and they are located near road 2 when driving from Thessaloniki to Florina. The left waterfall is called Karanos and the right twinfall is called Lamda falls. The total height of the waterfall is appr. 70 meter (230 feet). It is possible to walk behind the big Kaeanos waterfall. At a lower part of the Edessa waterfalls there is a cave (small entrance fee) which is of great geological value.

💦Orlias Waterfalls is located in Litochoro. The Orlias Canyon is a gorge with a length of two kilometers that runs through the north-eastern part of Mount Olympus in northern Greece. This is where the waterfall is.
