I did some digging and found some fun holidays to celebrate during June.
Here we go:
June 1
National Olive Day
A day to celebrate one of the world's oldest fruits. Another symbol we get from this is the olive branch which stands for peace, love and friendship. Olives are used in cocktails (think Martini), in salads or even better, on pizza!

National Barefoot Day
A day for RT to continue his love of going barefoot. Let's hope he doesn't get a splinter again. I don't want to be the lucky recipient that gets photos of the bottom of his foot.
It's also
National Say Something Nice Day
I think everyone can participate today. Think about the nicest person you know and put one of their better qualities into practice. Give someone a compliment. Do it for the joy of seeing them smile because of your kind words.
And,
National Pen Pal Day
Remember the joy you would get sending letters to people in the mail and then waiting to hear back from them? Having a pen pal improves our writing skills, offer us a broader view of the world and also gives us a break from technology. Don't have a pen pal? How about writing a letter and sending it to a friend?
June 3
National Repeat Day
A great day to say everything again. A great day to say everything again. How to celebrate? Say "Thank You" twice instead of once every time. Call your Mom (or a friend) twice and tell them the same things in the second phone call. Play your favorite song twice and sing along both times (preferably when RT is not around).
June 4
National Cheese Day
A great day for those that like to eat cheese.
June 5
National Moonshine Day
Moonshine is mostly made of corn mash and is typically made illegally. White Lightning, Mountain Dew, homebrew, hillbilly pop and rotgut are just a few of the names used. Moonshine became a big business opportunity during Prohibition. There are some distilleries making Moonshine (legally) and, of course, there are still others that produce it illegally.
It's also
National Trails Day
Get out there and Take a Hike!
June 7
National VCR Day
Time to pull out that good ole VCR and watch a movie! Oh, yea, don't forget to rewind it after you're done! Believe it or not, I think we still have some movies on VHS.
June 8
National Best Friends Day
A day to honor your best friend. The best way to celebrate? Tell them how much they mean to you. Send them a letter (in code), invite them out for margaritas and nachos to chat and share a memory or three.
June 10
National Ballpoint Pen Day
Celebrating pens and the date that they had their patent filed. I love pens, so I will definitely be celebrating today. And, how shall we celebrate the day? Well, how about using that pen to create a doodle. Handwrite your 'To Do' list. Write a letter or note to someone special.
June 13
National Weed Your Garden Day
National pulling weeds day is everyday for me. My family has to stop me if I start to pull weeds otherwise I will be out there for hours.
June 19
National Martini Day
"Shaken, not stirred."
June 20
National Hike with a Geek Day
The day encourages IT (and techies) to push away the keyboard and get outside in nature. Guess I'll be going on a hike with RT today.....
June 21
National Selfie Day
How to celebrate? Post your favorite selfies from your travels, with friends/family and use #NationalSelfieDay on social media. Need inspo ideas? Duck face selfie, car selfie, bathroom selfie, gym selfie, work selfie (my favorite), pet selfie, bff selfie and food selfie.
June 23
National Detroit Style Pizza Day
Thick pizza that is cut into squares. I think this means that Uncle Steve should have a pizza party.
June 24
National Handshake Day
Do people still use the handshake or has it morphed into a fist or elbow bump?
June 25
National Take your Dog to Work Day
My absolute favorite day! Pack your lunch, Pippen you're coming to work with me!
That's it for June. Get out there and have a great month!
