So the "Emoji Guru's" (Unicode Consortium)...the nonprofit organization responsible for determining which emoji get the green light...can say they have their own "Day"!;)

There are only 365 days in the Solar Calendar...and probably 1000's & 1000's of organizations with their own "Day"...so you know each "day" is definitely not exclusive to any one organization!

But tomorrow seems to be a bit more selective:
July 19, 2019 – NATIONAL DAIQUIRI DAY
JULY 19, 2019 | NATIONAL DAIQUIRI DAYNATIONAL DAIQUIRI DAY
Each year on July 19, people across the United States fill their glasses with a rum-based cocktail and toast to National Daiquiri Day. So, raise your glass and join all of the others in this...

Sounds quite yummy... :Smirk:

My wife just returned home from some errands and stopped by our local Farm Market store that had an elderly gentleman selling fresh mini Donuts from his van outside the market store.

She said the smell of the cinnamon sugar donuts we're just too much to resist and brought a small bag of them home for me to devour and they were still warm.

Sorry, but they are all gone now.
