Daily Holidays - July 12

National Pecan Pie Day Your grandmother’s house in mid-fall. The air outside is crisp, eve though the sun is shining. Leaves swirl all around you in streaks of yellow, red and brown. And then a delightfully sweet, buttery scent reaches your nostrils and you hear your grandmother’s voice, “Pie’s ready! Come and get it!” https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pecan-pie-day/

Etch A Sketch Day Do you remember Etch a Sketch? If you spent many happy hours drawing pictures on the screen then magically removing them using the plastic slider, you’ll relish the opportunity to relive your childhood on Etch a Sketch Day. The Etch a Sketch toys are still readily available, so it’s a chance to invest in one and get sketching. If you prefer, taking time to do any sort of drawing or painting will be a good way of marking Etch a Sketch Day. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/etch-a-sketch-day/

Different Colored Eyes Day Different Colored Eyes Day was established to celebrate this beautiful variation in eyes, and to break some of the mystery surrounding it. There are many things that can cause heterochromia, some of them being nothing more than a genetic trait present from birth, others being caused by disease or injury. There are three different types of heterochromia, each one being identified by the degree to which the heterochromia exists and how it manifests. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/different-colored-eyes-day/

1. Re: Etch A Sketch Day

I read that a different Website mentioned on DU was looking for a graphics artist. Could this be the karma of "when opportunity comes knocking?"

2. I had an Etch-A-Sketch!

Unfortunately, I was never even this good at it. You couldn't draw circles!

[Sherman A1]

5. Me too

and never could get the thing to do too much. Just not much into the art thing or just too impatient.

6. Me, too! The thing was, it only went up and down, impossible to make circles...

But then, I never thought of sketching Rmoney back then, maybe that was my problem...

7. Great!

The original laptop? I wonder does it get wifi?

9. If he had an elevator for his car, I imagine his kids had Etch-A-Sketches that had special powers...

3. I wonder why it is national pecan pie day.

Pecans aren't in season until autumn.

8. Couldn't say on that one

there seem to be many a special day that is at odds with the seasons..
