This past Thursday, Patti and I made our Summer 2026 visit over to our local Home Depot to pick out our Summer 2026 Flowers.
It's like Home to us!
Gee Dad! Thanks! /s/ Your Home Depot.
Into the back of our truck our flowers go, safe in their box!
Patti, thank you so very much for calling Self Care to my attention.
This is yet another NATIONAL TODAY Holiday that I completely overlooked.
SELF CARE DAY..
Yes! Self Care can mean staying in bed and sleeping!
Self Care is about prioritizing your mental, physical, and emotional needs.
Dr. Bill Hettler, a co-founder of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) in 1976, is widely recognized for his pioneering work in the wellness movement. He developed the 'Six Dimensions of Wellness' model, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and occupational well-being. His contributions have significantly shaped how we understand and approach holistic self-care.
I did some “Internet Surfing” about how hot is too hot.
For the average person, temperatures above 104°F (40°C) can be unsafe for prolonged exposure and may lead to heat-related illnesses.
The exact “too hot” temperature will vary based on temperature, humidity, individual health, and acclimatization.
A heat index of 90°F or higher can indicate potentially dangerous conditions, especially with prolonged exposure or physical activity.
THIS Patti and I KNOW!
We can “Dress for Cold Weather”. No one can “Dress for Extreme Hot Weather.”
Summer down in Arizona is far too hot for both Patti and myself!

Thank You NATIONAL TODAY !!
This holiday is a lighthearted way to acknowledge the peak of summer’s sweltering heat. It’s a day to embrace the warmth with a sense of humor, finding creative ways to stay cool and comfortable. So, grab a cold drink, find some shade, and join in the playful banter about the weather.

Cap and Patti
Before we begin, I would be willing for you to ask me..
"Captain? What on earth have you to say about Hammocks? You stress that either you or Patti have to have actual experience before you use a NATIONAL TODAY Holiday!?"
"IF, but only IF, you have ever spent ten (10) long days, crossing the Pacific Ocean, as an enlisted member of the United States Marine Corps, in a Navy Troop Ship The Floyd Clymer! Then we can talk about the hell of Hammocks!"
You are in tiers of 6 or 7 Hammocks above and below you. You can only get "out and on deck in the open air" for one hour a day. IF someone above you gets sea sick and vomits it comes down on those below him!
Talk about Hell! I don't know how anyone of us maintained our sanity!
Then finally you debark ship climbing down the side of the troop ship landing nets into a "Peter Boat LCVP" and again, we all got seasick heading for the landing beach!
Celebrate the ultimate symbol of relaxation and leisure. Originating with the Mayans, hammocks offer a perfect escape for napping, reading, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Find your favorite spot, string up a hammock, and drift into blissful comfort.
YOU read the rest!!

What is Pi?
Google says:
Pi (written as the Greek symbol π ) is a special mathematical number. It represents the ratio of any circle's distance around its edge (circumference) to its distance across the middle (diameter). No matter how big or small a circle is, its circumference is always about 3.14 times its diameter.

Before deciding to publish this, the number one, top of the list of all NATIONAL TODAY Holidays for today, I checked it out and found it interesting.
So .. Taa Daa .. Junk Food.. Here we go!
The below burger sure "looks good" to me. Patti does not ever eat hamburgers, more specifically any red meat!
This special day is a "guilt-free pass" to enjoy your delicious snacks, fast food, and desserts without reservation. Embrace the joy of your preferred comfort foods, share your indulgences, and savor every bite..
National Junk Food Day Hero
Ray Kroc
Ray Kroc was an American businessman who joined McDonald's in 1955. He built it into one of the world's most successful fast-food corporations. He is credited with expanding the franchise model globally, transforming the small restaurant into an international empire. His vision helped popularize the concept of readily available, consistent 'junk food' for the masses.
Potato chips consistently rank among America’s most popular junk foods, with billions of dollars in sales annually. Their versatility and wide range of flavors make them a perennial favorite.
While enjoyable in moderation, frequent consumption of junk food can lead to health issues such as weight gain, increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure due to its high sugar, salt, and fat content.
Studies have shown that when we're stressed, we're more likely drawn towards things like cakes and sweets.
NATIONAL TODAY suggested we take a photo of one of our favorite Junk Foods.
Patti and I both love Costco's Croutons!
