Cow Milked While Flying In An Airplane Day - a true bit of trivia that you'll amaze your friends with.   Apparently today is the 80th anniversary of Elm Farm Ollie .  The cow was milked while in flight and the milk was put in cartons and dropped out over St. Louis.  Wouldn't you have loved to have one of those hit you on the head!?  Ouch.  The first milk shake right?  lol

Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day - Yeah!  If only I had ice cream at home...I don't right now, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have been fun.  Have you ever eaten ice cream for breakfast?  I'm not sure my stomach would be able to handle it though...

National Hate Florida Day -  
I guess everyone hates Florida because it's warmer weather there?  What about California? Well...never mind, most of us already hate California, lol. 

And last...
National Crab Stuffed Flounder Day -  Here's a recipe for it from the Nibble, should you be interested in making it. We usually use imitation crab meat in pasta salad.  I'm not sure what my kids would think about stuffed fish...we aren't big fish eaters.  Do you like fish?
 
Well...hope you manage to find a way to enjoy the day and the weather.  I think I'm going to go home and make cookies.  :)
