Cyd Charisse (dancer/actress) born in 1923.
This beauty was renowned for her long legs and smooth as silk dancing style.
Here’s a toast to her with a lovely Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon. Swirl the wine around in your wine glass and marvel as the wines’ legs cascade down the sides of the glass and then enjoy its silky refinement. Ahhhh…
1st dog-licensing law enacted in the US (1894).
Who let the dogs out? WhoWhoWhoWho? Break the chain, run like the wind, and bark the day away with some Dogfish Head brews!
Carol Bayer Sager (lyricist) born in 1947.
We have “A Groovy Kind of Love” for this songwriter who knows “When I Need You” to share a bottle of wine with me, well… ”That’s What Friends are For”! Celebrate the day with 1.5 liter of Ningaloo Shiraz.
Oliver Wendell Holmes (Supreme Court Justice ) born in 1841.
Celebrating life is the best tribute we can pay when we lose someone near and dear. Here are some wise words from OWH that do just that.
Our dead brothers still live for us
and bid us think of life, not death –
of life to which in their youth
they lent the passion and glory
of Spring.
As I listen,
the great chorus of life and joy begins again,
and amid the awful orchestra
of seen and unseen powers
and destinies of good and evil,
our trumpets, sound once more
a note of daring, hope, and will.
