August 6 ~ National Mustard Day
Started in 1991 by the
National Mustard Museum in Mount Horeb, WI,
National Mustard Day has become an
annual event the first Saturday in August.
Mustard, an important ingredient in many recipes,
is essential on my hamburgers, hot dogs, or sandwiches.
What about you? Are you a fan of mustard?
"Chance made us sisters. Hearts made us friends."
August 7 ~ Sisters' Day
The first Sunday in August is designated as Sisters' Day.
Lucky me!
I have a sister, and we have always been good friends.
Less than two years apart in age,
we shared a room, did chores together,
and like all young girls, shared secrets and dreams.
As adults, we continue to share special times together.
As Mary Engelbreit says, "There's no friend like a sister."
Yes, I'm a lucky girl!

August 26 ~ National Dog Day
A day to celebrate all dogs everywhere.
Started in 2004, it is a day to bring attention to
the many dogs who need to be adopted.
We adopted our sweet Sadie Mercedes four years ago.
Thank you Wee Rescue!
We are so grateful to have this girl in our lives.

ReplyDeleteAnother festive month, indeed, Sarah! I really enjoy these monthly roundups, and thank you for the prompts. I must have a hot dog with mustard today to celebrate, and email my 6 sisters tomorrow. ;) Wishing your chef a most wonderful birthday, and the two of you many more years of celebrating life together.

A month of celebrations, indeed! Yes, I love mustard - grainy, dill, tarragon, Dijon, honey......and I make my own too if I want something a little different. The picture of you and your Chef in France is beautiful. A moment in time, full of good memories, I'm sure. Happy Anniversary to the two of you!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary and happy birthday to the chef! I was not aware of mustard day...but I do love mustard on my sandwiches! Happy August, Pam @ Everyday Living
ReplyDeleteFirst Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to the chef. You really are having lots of wonderful events in August.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a sister, but I do have a cousin who I dearly love is my sister and a best friend whom I have known for over 40 years. Her mother always introduced me as her adopted daughter and I loved her also.
Love you little doggie - they are the best when adopted.
Great picture of you and your honey.....
Enjoy your amazing August.
I love mustard - especially on white bread with lots of juicy tomatoes. But they have to be from the garden, right off the vine.
Enjoy your weekend.

Happy, Happy Days - I recognise that house in the background, is it really almost 5 years since you were here? Too long my dear, way too long.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Mr A and his twin and love to you both.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I prefer mustard to mayo any day on a sandwich!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a mustard girl here for my hot dog! Thanks for sharing all the great celebration days that are coming up. I'll need to do something special for my fur baby too!

Happy Birthday to your special chef, Sarah, and Happy Anniversary to both of you!
ReplyDeleteYes, sisters are indeed special and I love mine, too.
The picture of your Sadie is adorable and she even has a CC bone...darling! Happy August to you, for you have a lot to celebrate.
Well Happy Birthday to your "chef" and Happy Anniversary to both of you! I do like mustard and use it frequently! Sadie looks like such a sweetie! Love your cute sports car!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! I hope it's a great month!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to the Chef and Happy Anniversary to you both! August is certainly a happy month for you, Sarah. I love the photo of you with your sister and, yes, mustard is also my favorite condiment. The spicier the better!
ReplyDeleteWho knew there was a National mustard Day? I am much more a mustard lover than ketchup. Nothing quite as yummy on a hot dog! Mustard and relish, yum!! I have 4 fabulous sisters. Love them all so much! Glad you have a wonderful one as well. Lots to celebrate this month. We celebrate our anniversary in August as well. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Hello Sarah, I am delighted in your celebration of the special days you posted. Yes, I love mustard, dogs, my four sisters and my hubby of 53 years. Happy anniversary. Your pup is precious and we five sisters celebrate each other all year long. Love your post.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking to my Blue Monday posts while I was on vacation. I arrived home today... tired but very happy to have been with so much family these past two weeks. It is good to be home and visiting again.
Have a wonderful week.

Dearest Sarah,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, happy Birthday to the Chef and happy Anniversary to the both of you!
So many special days to celebrate...
Yes, I've been a great Dijon mustard fan but with my moderate CKD I have to be oh so careful with my sodium intake!
Love your sweet Sadie girl, how the years pass by with our beloved fur babies... We would want to last them a human lifetime.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Boy, there is a national day for just about everything. I can't keep up with them all.
