Roses, Pearls and the Summer Solstice – June Magic!

All riiiiiight June 39ers! We get a day this month just for us! Well, for those 50 plus. June 21^st is Baby Boomer’s Recognition Day!

It falls on Father’s Day this year, so we’re splitting the fun. Of course, if you’re a dad and a June Boomer – party on! The rest of you can sip an after-daddy evening cocktail with your best Boomer buds. And if you're in that in-between stage, 39er-not-Boomer – well, it's all good.

For added glow, Baby Boomer Recognition Day coincides every year with the Summer Solstice. More reason to party!

Start with a bouquet of roses for the table centerpiece … perhaps one for each “bud.” Ar-ar. Yep, the quintessential rose is June’s official flower.

Add Mardi Gras strands of faux pearls, the June adornment preferred by the Roman Empire. Cool trivia: the iridescent bauble even had its own “pearl age” during the 1500s in Tudor England.

So, you’re comfortably seated at a tall table in your fave pub, with three of your closest Boomer buds, libations rising to toast, pearls sparkling, and the scent of roses wafting in the air – when …

… Shazam! In walk fellow June 39ers, Morgan Freeman and Meryl Streep!

Chatty Gemini Freeman (06/01/37), is talking Streep’s ear off in spirited conversation about Descendants Day (June 28^th) and what personal (not famed professional) legacies they want to leave, when Ms. Streep (the sentimental Cancer Crab, 06/22/49) notices your fragrant roses – and, gasp – they ask to join you!

Everyone’s talking at once, enjoying the party when the piped music begins to celebrate International Surf Music Month with “Surfin’ Safari”! It was released as a single in June 1962.

 

♪ Let’s go surfin’ now, everybody’s learning how, come on a safari with me … ♪

Perfect timing, with Love and Mercy, the new The Beach Boys movie about Brian Wilson, debuting Friday, June 5^th, and Mike Love’s revitalized Beach Boys’ upcoming appearance June 25^th at NorCal’s Sonoma-Marin Fair.  

Of course, this fictional scene will never happen … certainly not, if you stay home on your birthday, June Gemini Twins (05/21 – 06/20) and Cancer Crabs (06/21 – 07/22). You can be closet hermits – but NOT on your birthday. Do something special!

Happy UN-Birthday June 39ers,

(Here’s lookin’ at you, kids – 39AHC Birthday 39ers, Sally, Christine & Melanie!)
