Each year on June 12, people in the United States observe National Red Rose Day. The day is meant to honor the flower that is a symbol of love and romance, the red rose.
Apparent the other color roses don’t have as strong a lobby.
Today is also Crowded Nest Awareness Day. While this holiday has been celebrated for years, once again this obscure holiday has never seemed more appropriate. Crowded Nest Syndrome (sometimes referred to as CNS by people not suffering from it) occurs when you have children who have moved out of the house and you’ve gone through Empty Nest Syndrome only to have your children (and possibly their children) come back home again and/or having your parents or in-laws move in with you so you can care for them. (But fear not, today is World Gin Day)
I wait patiently by the phone for confirmation that I have become the new spokesperson for Bombay Sapphire.
Today is the 13th World Gin Day, always celebrated on the second Saturday in June, (National Martini Day is coming up on Saturday, June 19 – I will just have to pace myself!).
Remember – A perfect martini should be made by filling a glass with gin then waving it in the general direction of Italy (or Paris – pick your poison.)
(As always, please celebrate responsibly.)
And so it goes
