Life is a Special Occasion!

Any way you peel it, June 22nd is National Onion Rings Day! Grab yourself a side order of deep fried, crispy battered onion rings today because it is Onion Rings Day! Why bother ordering your main course at all, when you could just have more onion rings instead? Or maybe even a blooming onion!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.
Carl Sandburg
I do love deep fried onion rings, but don’t get them very often. I do however, often seem to have a can of those french fried onion rings in the cupboard as most everyone one in my family loves good old fashioned green been casserole.
I did a search to see if there were any other uses for them and found that most of the recipes used the french fried onions as a garnishment. French Fried Onions are great as toppings for all your favorite meals, including baked potatoes, meat loaf, stir fry, tacos, salads, soups, and chili.
It looks like our rainy weather is to continue this week. On and off again summer showers are predicted for most every day. We are definitely making up for the dry month we had in May.
We were blessed with a beautiful day yesterday for our picnic together, but all of my out of state family is headed for home today and I’ll be praying for a safe trip for all of them. It was so great to have all of my children all together at one time. I love them all so much !
As I only had no pictures of an onion to share, today’s pictures are a mixture of the summer blooms here around my house.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions together. They are, for the time being, separate, from the world, and have a harmony of aspiration.
Charles Dudley Warner, My Summer in a Garden, 1871
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2877. for fried onions, always good
2878. for rain on a hot day, always refreshing
2879. for a great visit with my family, lots of new memories made
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Onion skins very thin,
Mild winter coming in.
Onion skins very tough,
Coming winter very rough.
Old English Rhyme
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

So glad you had nice weather for your family picnic, Ma! I bet it was fun and enjoyed by all! I like onion rings too. We went to Red Robin yesterday for dinner and they serve a stack of onion rings. We didn't get one but saw others enjoying it. They looked delicious!

I'm so glad you got to have everyone over for Father's Day! I love the red hot pokers, I only have one left, but it bloomed for me two weeks ago! Can you believe we are counting down to fall already?
National onion rings day, huh? I love them but only eat them very infrequently. I love how they look next to a big, big juicy hamburger. Yikes, I am making myself hungry.
Happy Monday!
