Sorry Charlie Day, Fresh Tomato Day, TV Dinners' birthday, Jump Over Things Day & National Caramel Popcorn Day

So many things to celebrate today!

Do you remember the sorry Charlie tuna commercials?  They were popular during the 60's, 70's, and early 80's.  Sounds like lunch might be tuna and tomato sandwiches today.  

TV dinners have really evolved over the decades.  Swanson introduced the first TV dinner in 1953.  Nowadays, TV dinners are not just for dinner and not just for TV viewing time.  Convenient frozen meals are available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as appetizers, snacks, and desserts.  And cooking them in the microwave makes them even more convenient and portable.  That one breakthrough revolutionized the food industry.
It's Jump Over Things Day.  If you can't jump, how about step over things?  Speaking of jumping, stepping, and walking around things (earlier this month), I've discovered several exercise channels on YouTube.
One to help kids (and adults) expel some of their energy is The Body Coach TV.  He is currently posting "PE with Joe" videos every day.
Another YouTube exercise channel is Fitness with Cindy.
The last 2 I'll mention is Bob & Brad and Lucy Wyndham-Read.
Check them out.  Some are geared toward Seniors and beginners.

After you watch the videos (maybe even exercise with them), pop some caramel popcorn.  I have some Kettle corn that's lighter but close.  Allrecipes has an easy Caramel Popcorn recipe.  If you're a baker, you probably have all the ingredients on hand.

Starkist never chose Charlie but God is calling all of us to turn to Him and be saved.
Deuteronomy 30:19  This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.  Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.
