Today is Take Your Pants for a Walk Day. Its an easy day to celebrate. Simply go for a walk. Unless you are wearing a dress or a skirt, you probably are wearing pants. So, by definition, as you walk, they come along.
Give your pants some exercise. After all, they are looking a little tight around the middle. The walk will do them good.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.
Henry David Thoreau
I will admit that a little exercise would do me a world of good about now. I’ve spent far too many lazy days here at my house due to the heat. A walk around our mall a few days ago is the most exercise I’ve had in a while. It was air conditioned and that made the walking possible. Truly I don’t get far at all when it’s hot.
Taking a walk is good for you, not only for the exercise but because it also wards off heart disease, brings up the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and strengthens the heart. Walking lightens our spirits, improves sleep and helps you do to more longer. However you do it, walking is good for the mind, body, and soul.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
July is Hot Dog Month
Hot dogs in buns topped with Baked Beans, onions, and shredded cheese are baked until hot and cheese is melted is a great way to feed a crowd!

1 can , 28 ounces, Baked Beans
16 hot dog buns, split
16 hot dogs
1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup white onions chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two 9x14" baking pans with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of mustard inside of each hot dog bun. Add a hot dog to each bun and top with about 3 tablespoons of baked beans.
Arrange hot dogs in baking pans.Top dogs with an even layer of cheese and onions. Cover each pan with foil and place in the oven.
Bake hot dogs for 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and hot dogs are heated through. Allow hot dogs to stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
To serve, carefully remove hot dogs from pan using a spatula. Serve with plenty of napkins.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
Henry David Thoreau
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4078. for walking, it’s good for body, mind and soul
4079. for hot dogs and beans a quick and easy meal
4080. for some new crop pants, light weight and cool for summer
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.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.

I love taking walks. It is god for the soul. And I LOVE your fall countdown :)
A lot of people here walk after the sun goes down. Still warm, but they are used to it I imagine. I've been lazy this summer too as far as walking but when fall hits, I plan to get back into a program where I'm walking daily and hopefully by next summer I too will be doing my walking once the sun goes down.
I like that recipe for the hot dogs and beans! Easy to prepare and I bet delicious!
betty
Our daily walks at the park have suffered in the heat here, too, MA, so you are not alone. I almost took them this morning... but am pooped out and have to be back at the hospital at noon (husband is very ill). I am way behind in keeping up with friend's blogs, too!
I will have to try your hot dog recipe sounds like it would be real tasty. I have the hot dogs and cheese just needs the buns and beans. I need to get out and do more walking I don't get to go to the shopping malls anymore; it gives me out walking in Walmart’s and the grocery stores. It has been hot here to so I'm staying in a lot more. Take care. Jean
We love hotdogs and we love walking! That is one thing that Todd and I have always enjoyed since the beginning, getting out for long walks. Sadly now with my arthritis I can't go as far as I would like to. Your baked hotdogs sound delicious! I will be making these for sure! Beans and hots are the ultimate combination! Have a great Thursday! Thanks so much! xoxo
