"National Vanilla Ice Cream Day on July 23rd tips its hat at the second most popular flavor in America. Take a bow, vanilla. I scream, you scream, we all scream for…VANILLA ICE CREAM!! Of course, the day is part of National Ice Cream Month and not too far behind National Ice Cream Day. Since Americans love vanilla ice cream so much, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that vanilla is the most common flavoring in North America for ice cream. In fact, many people consider vanilla ice cream to be the default flavor. Many may be familiar with Thomas Jefferson’s vanilla ice cream recipe. The third president of the United States may have discovered vanilla flavor while visiting France. While he wouldn’t have been the first to savor the delicious taste of vanilla ice cream, Jefferson enjoyed jotting down recipes. The same applied to ice cream. He also produced a handwritten copy of a vanilla ice cream recipe in the 1780s. Only ten copies remain. In fact, the Library of Congress houses one copy that has a cookie recipe on the flip side. Today, the ice cream parlor at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota serves the same recipe so that anyone can have a taste."
My notes: What are your favorite ice cream flavors? While I don't eat ice cream anymore, too rich now, my favorite was chocolate.

There’s many flavors I like to pick just one. Not all vanillas are created equal. I like vanilla but it has to be French vanilla.

"On July 23rd, Gorgeous Grandma Day recognizes all women of a certain age, whether they are grandmothers or not. Not all women become grandmothers. Those who do, don’t necessarily fit the traditional mold any longer. Others still reach a point where many assume grandmother status, even though no grandchildren are about. Gorgeous Grandma Day embraces the age of the nana and encourages all women to flaunt their granny attitudes with purpose and style."
My notes: Here's to all the Grandmas out there!

"July 23 is World Sjogren’s Day on the National Day Calendar. Today, we are spreading awareness for immune system disorder known as Sjogren’s (SHOW-grins) Syndrome. We are going to help you better understand the symptoms of Sjogren’s Syndrome and hopefully learn a few things, too. Millions of people throughout the world live with Sjogren’s Syndrome. Dry eyes and dry mouth are the two primary symptoms of this immune system disorder. Sjogren’s is an immune disorder that attacks the cells that produce saliva and tears. Besides affecting the mouth and eyes, Sjogren’s can also cause issues in other parts of the body. This includes the thyroid, kidneys, liver, lungs, and nerves. This chronic illness is often accompanied by other immune disorders, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis."
My notes: Anybody heard of or have Sjogren's Syndrome? I haven't heard of it nor do I have it.
