Think
Pink JUNE 39ers!
While we focus on “39” here, it’s important to remember that
it’s “just a number.”
Whether
you’re 39 again for the first (40), third (43), thirtieth (70),
or sixtieth time (100!), remaining young at heart is the key to
happiness. Well, that and a healthy helping of humor makes a big difference,
too.
Are
you a 39er? Let’s party! Besides Adopt-a-Cat-Month,
the venerable National Flag Week (9th-15th), and Garfield the Cat Day (19th),
and …
Besides Your
Birthday ~ Happy JUNE Celebrations
11th:
National Cotton Candy Day – After
all, a large majority of county and state fairs delight children of all ages
with their frothy pink confectionaries and everything on-a-stick! Not up to
rubbing elbows with 30,000 of your closest friends at the fair? A wee bit of online
research, and you’ll find it ready to ship!
14th:
In addition
to our nation’s Flag Day, it’s no wonder that the first month of Summer
hosts National Flip Flop Day! And a creative restaurant conjured up the
fun, sunny celebration. The Tropical Smoothie Café not only sponsors the day but offers a creative in-café freebie
when you wear your flip flops to visit them. Not in the mood to trek in the
heat? Give your fave smoothie a whirl in your home blender (perhaps with a yummy liqueur added), and put your feet up, with your best flip flops on!
23rd: More pink! Pink Flamingo
Day (Lawn Ornaments) – Whaaaaat?! You’ve never stuck a fancy pink flamingo
in your yard, or even your in-door plant garden? The jaunty bird is a summer necessity for fun and flash. No longer the redheaded stepchild of lawn ornaments,
do you know you can rent a flock of the pink plastic summer must-haves? Better
yet, buy a pair and decorate them for every holiday, OR visit your local zoo and check out live Pink Flamingos! So Pink
thinks she has all the fun …
Enough
for today? Exhausted from all the heat and candy and running after pink birds?
Nah …
For 39ers who
Follow the Stars
…
Is it any wonder Garfield is a Gemini
(05/21-06/20)? He’s the perfect twin personality in a mind-melding tabby.
Geminis
put their quick minds to work on whatever is in front of them at the moment …
work, errands, party. Did someone say party?! The quintessential party planner,
Gemini finds festive ways to amaze and create a stellar gala for a friend, or
themselves!
On
the 21st, the caring Cancer
(06/21-07/22) brings smoothies to the Gemini hangovers and nurtures them as no
other Zodiac sign can. Though crusty on the surface, their loyal and loving
nature makes it easy to forgive the occasional brusque manner.
June
heats up with the twins and the crab … slip your flip flops on and pour another vodka smoothie
to celebrate!
Aging with ATT-i-tude Platitude
You know you are getting old when the candles cost more
than the cake. ~ Bob Hope;
ultimate funnyman and honorary grandfather of 39 and Holding.
Don’t
wait, start now! Happy UN-Birthday JUNE 39ers: This one’s for you,
kids – Sally, Christine, and Melanie!
