Summer is in full swing and 4th July is right around the corner




Did you know? Thumping on a watermelon and listening for a "hollow" sound isn't particularly accurate way to pick a ripe watermelon. Sometimes, that hollow sound actually means the melon has turned to mush. The best method is to look for the curly tendrils on the stem near where the fruit is attached to turn brown. If they look half dead, it's ready for picking. You can also check the underside of the melon. A ripe fruit will have a cream- or yellow-colored spot from where it sat on the ground while ripening in the sun.

HAPPY FATHER DAY


HAPPY FATHER DAY to all the Dad's, I give all the father’s my love for taken on a job that no one can do, if it’s done right and with LOVE. I would like to share the history of Father’s Day and how being a real father is so very importune to your child or children lives.


A BRIEF HISTORY OF FATHER’S DAY
Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a “father’s day”. The idea came to her when she was listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Sonora want a special day to honor her father. William Smart
Her father was a Civil War veteran and was widowed when his wife was giving birth to their sixth child. This left Mr. Smart to raise a newborn and his other five children, on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children has a single parent. It was her father that made the all the parental sacrifices and in her eyes he had show courageous, selfless, and loving man Sonora father was born in June so she chose o hold the first
Father’s Day celebration on the 19th June in 1910 in Spokane Washington.
President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law, which finally made it permanent in 1972.
Here are a few Father's Day Cards I made,please leave a comment they were fun to make.

LAYOUT FOR MY BLACK IS BEAUTFUL CHALLENGE #3

Challenge #3 is my Black Hair,

My hair type is kinky curly that appears to be coarse with lots of strands densely packed together, but it is actually quite fine, and soft to the touch. My hair can be easily straightened with a blow-dryer into a smoother style, hot curl or just natural pull back into a pony tail. I was born with sandy brown hair until my hair turned gray.
