Happy UN-Birthday 39ers JULY 2019

July 39ers … Have you Hugged Your Teddy Bear Today? 

Apparently, July is “Cell Phone Courtesy Month.” Like … really? It’s too bad we need reminding.

I’d rather celebrate “World Watercolor Month,” wouldn’t you? Whatever you celebrate July for, it’s your UN-birthday month, 39ers. Enjoy!

Besides Your UN-Birthday ~ Happy JULY Celebrations

10^th ~ *Piña Colada Day / A history of one version of its creation c. 1954.

10^th ~ *Teddy Bears' Picnic Day / The toy created for a US president. (President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, (1858-1919.)

     [Note/Brownielocks calendars webmaster: I do not know why July 10th was chosen, because Jimmy Kennedy, who wrote the words to the song, was born on July 20.]

20^th ~ National Lollipop Day / ♪ It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop … ♪ (Shirley Temple, “On the Good Ship Lollipop,” 1934) The first food on-a-stick?

25^th ~ Carousel Day or Merry-Go-Round Day / Who doesn’t love a carousel? ♪ Riding along On a Carousel … ♪ (The Hollies, 1967)

For 39ers who Follow the Stars …

Cancer and Leo July 39ers … have you ever felt the urge to wear a turquoise or onyx gemstone, feeling disconnected from the current ruby red gem? It’s ok … you’re simply channeling a 15th century and prior, desire.

Wiki states the royal red ruby didn’t make Zodiac fashion headlines until the 20^th century, so wear whichever makes you feel best!

Cancer 39ers do enjoy the majestic qualities of the ruby but make anything they wear look good. While they shine on the outside however, the early July 39ers (June 21-July 22) may also find turquoise resonates with their soft-hued inner being. That’s where their true, loyal and caring personality resides.

And we all know of the lion’s reputation as King of the Jungle … asphalt or trees … it’s all a jungle! Leo 39ers are no majestic slouches. The black onyx is as powerful as it is mysterious. While wearing it the charming and dramatic Leo can love as big as the summer sun and generate a magical heat with the forceful gemstone’s gleaming black surface. Just know the leonine ego also attends the party.

Our philosophies age gracefully with us if we challenge our history of common sense, never stop asking questions, and continuously revise our youthful follies of thinking. ~ L. Rochelle

Happy UN-Birthday 39ers JUNE 2019

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 (9^th-15^th), and Garfield the Cat Day (19^th), and …

Besides Your Birthday ~ Happy JUNE Celebrations 

11^th: 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!

14^th: 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!  

23^rd: 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 21^st, 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!
