Random Facts Friday

Mother's Day was this past weekend. I hope you all have a woman in your life that you respect and showed your appreciation for the sacrifices/advice she has given you through the years. She does not have to be blood related or next-of-kin, though many times she is. We are all blessed for the sage wisdom we have received from them.

Here are some random facts that are fun to pass on the next time you gather with friends and family:
1. The most popular flower around Mother's Day is carnations and the most favorite color for them is white. I like them because they will last long.

2. Only 11 horses have won the Triple Crown and the last one, Affirmed, was in 1978.

3. Every country or group has a birthday tradition. In Hungary, when gifts are open, everyone pulls on the earlobes of the birthday person and says a little rhyme. The rhyme is translated into English as follows "God bless you, live so long so your ears reach your ankles".

4. A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.

5. Recipe: I found this recipe for homemade "vicks" vapor shower disks. Sounds like a winner!
