Today's History Lesson...the movies

Sometimes it takes only one movie...just one...to kick start the careers of film actors and directors. Then, the movie itself goes on to become a classic, an American icon. These are the films that truly bring back the memories as you stroll down memory lane revisiting the scenes and listening to the music of the era!

"Today's History Lesson...the American West

Outlaws and gunslingers of the old West share a unique persona. Visions of saloons, dance hall girls, whiskey and gambling immediately come to mind. These were the times when men were men who stood their ground and died with their boots on. 

This Day in the Old West: July 19, 1879

When you hear the name "Doc" Holliday, do you envision days of the Wild West? Gamblers? Gunfighters? Outlaws? Does the Shootout at the OK Corral come to mind? Do you see Val Kilmer as "Doc" in the 1993 film Tombstone? It will come as no surprise if you answer "yes" to each question. Any and all of the above depict John Henry "Doc" Holliday."

Awakenings: Hot Dogs & Ice Cream | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"It's summertime! Hot dogs and ice cream are at the top of the list...hot dogs being ideal for a quick lunch or even at supper time demanding very little preparation time. Of course, the hot dogs are center stage on the grill or can be boiled, broiled, even fried! As that item on the menu is completed, the ice cream always brings on additional curtain calls and a standing ovation, especially when it happens to be homemade vanilla. So, are you ready to doubly celebrate with two of America's favorites?

July 23 is...
National Hot Dog Day and National Vanilla Ice Cream Day
