Holidays 2021-06-06
Observances today cover topics like cancer survivors, the Russian language, striving to give children the best possible start in life, getting exercise through gardening, atheism, applesauce cake, frozen yogurt, eyewear, drive-in movies, the yo-yo toy:
On this date in 1799 the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was born, making it a good date to celebrate the Russian language.
I was thinking during the pandemic that, if it goes on long enough, perhaps drive-in movies would make a comeback.
On this date in 1944 the Invasion of Normandy (aka D-Day) was launched, one of the most important events in defeating Nazi Germany in WWII.
The yo-yo is a toy that can be played easily by most children, though some tricks require more skill.
