This impressionistic piece is based a view of the Poás Crater Lake at the top of the Poás Volcano in Costa Rica. It is oil on a panel. This striking view was one of many beautiful scenes we enjoyed during a visit to Costa Rica. The Poás Volcano, is an active 2,708-meter stratovolcano in central Costa Rica and is located within Poás Volcano National Park. It has erupted 40 times since 1828, including April, 2017 when visitors and residents were evacuated.

As I mentioned last week We Care's pantry is completely out of many of the items on the linked list below and they need your help as soon as possible as their inventory has reached lows that must come up quickly in order to continue to meet their clients' needs, especially the higher needs of summer as clients are stretched with higher electric bills and with school out, must provide breakfast and lunch for their children. The summer also means that giving typically goes down. Please help today! Collection bins are located throughout Chapin at the library, Crooked Creek, local churches, and at We Care.
We Care is incredibly grateful for your support!

Every year on June 14, the United States Army celebrates its creation in 1775.
Formed from amateur troops of volunteer soldiers defending colonies against British tyranny, the oldest military force in the United States began before the U.S. formally existed. Their forces consisted of mostly inexperienced militiamen commanded by independent colonial armies. According to
battlefields.org
, there were never more than 48,000 Continental soldiers at one time. Today, the United States Army consists of over one million active duty service members and an additional 800,000 National Guard and Reserves members.
The enduring history of the U.S. Army means they have been integral to many of the United State’s military, peace-keeping and humanitarian efforts. During the Army’s Birthday, these and many advancements will be recognized through events and ceremonies.

On June 14 the Official Spirit of America is recognized. It is National Bourbon Day.
Like Scotch, Cognac and some other spirits that must meet certain standards as well as be produced in a particular geographical region, Bourbon is a whiskey which is only so named if distilled in the United States. To legally be a considered Bourbon, it must be 51 percent corn, stored in new (not aged) charred-oak barrels and distilled no more than 160 proof and barreled at 125 proof.
This particular whiskey derives its name from the
Kentucky
county which was established in 1785 and was a large producer of corn.
The corn, once distilled, would be put in barrels and stamped “Old Bourbon” and shipped down the Ohio River.
In 1964, a Congressional Resolution designated Bourbon as America’s native spirit. Since then, there is nowhere else in the world that can make a whiskey and call it Bourbon.

On June 14 we honor Old Glory on National Flag Day. This day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777.
On this day, Americans show respect for the U.S. Flag and what it represents. Representing independence and unity, the
Star Spangled Banner
has become a powerful symbol of Americanism and is flown proudly.
Since 1777, the design of the flag has been officially modified 26 times.
For 47 years, the 48-star flag was in effect. In 1959, the 49-star version became official on July 4th.
President Eisenhower ordered the 50-star flag
on August 21st, 1959.
Seventeen-year-old Robert G. Heft of Ohio designed the 50-star American flag. His was one f the more than 1,500 designs that were submitted to President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

On June 14, celebrate International Bath Day by filling up a lovely bath for your children. Realize that bath time is a great time to discover and learn. With just a few bath toys or simple plastic cups, they will immediately begin to test the waves of their water lab. Watch and see how every child becomes a little scientist with fresh new bath time discoveries!

NATIONAL POP GOES THE
WEASEL DAY
|
June 14th is set aside to observe National Pop Goes the Weasel Day. On this day people dig back into their memories to the nursery rhymes, they learned as children and celebrate the day singing
“Pop Goes the Weasel.”
The origins of this nursery rhyme are believed to date back to the 1700s.
There are many different versions of this nursery rhyme, and they are all fun, with the same catchy tune.
|
|
NATIONAL STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE DAY
|
National Strawberry Shortcake Day is observed each year on June 14th. Either on a shortcake biscuit or a sponge cake, strawberry shortcake is an easy and refreshing summertime dessert!
Strawberries are sliced, mixed with sugar then allowed to sit for about an hour until they have surrendered plenty of their juices. The shortcakes are then split, and the bottom is covered with a layer of the strawberries, juice and whipped cream. The top is then put back on, and more
strawberries
, juice and whipped cream are added to finish it off.

|
|
|
|
NATIONAL CAREER NURSE ASSISTANTS DAY
|
This day is set aside to recognize the nursing assistants who dedicate their lives to the well-being of others.
Nursing assistants many times work in hospitals and nursing homes performing everyday living tasks for the elderly, chronically ill or rehabilitation patients who cannot care for themselves. A more in-depth training and qualification that covers a wider scope of responsibility is indicated by government certification. The state distributes these certification exams, and the classes to study for them are offered by the American Red Cross as well as other providers.
