A Burger Breakfast for Two
Did you know that today is Donald Duck Day? Personally, I have fond memories of that pantless duck. Why no pants? There doesn’t seem to be enough information out there to definitely say why he dresses like a sailor and where his pants might be.

Today is National Oklahoma Day. It’s a great day for two things. The first is to share quotes from the second wisest man ever to hail from Oklahoma – Will Rogers. The wisest is my pops, although his quotes aren’t nearly as famous. The second is to give the Oklahoma Burger a twist.

When Russia first invaded Ukraine, the world held it’s breath. Similarities were drawn between images of World War II and this newest conflict. But unlike World War II, we had live-feed twenty-four hours a day streaming into our living rooms.

Is this really the first day in June? Oh my, this year is really flying along. The older I get, the more the days seem to whisk on by. Too bad life doesn’t come with a remote control to fast-forward though life’s difficulties and a pause button to linger in the joys.
