★~ Today’s Quote: Any Old Place I Can Hang My Hat Is Home Sweet Home to Me. ~ song title
★~ Linguine Day:
Linguine (often misspelled “Linguini”) is a long, flat, narrow type of pasta most common in seafood or pesto dishes such as linguine alle vongole (“linguine with clams”). Linguine, which means “little tongues” in Italian, originates from the Liguria region of Italy. Have a favorite linguine dish? Serve it tonight in honor of National Linguine Day!
★~ Felt Hat Day:
When a man wears a hat these days, it’s likely to be a baseball cap, a ski cap or maybe one of those trendy little fedoras with the skinny brims. But it wasn’t always that way, of course. To celebrate felt hat day, El Morno, will share about a Chicago hat maker below under Good to Know.
★~ Make a Hat Day:
Paper plates, ribbon, glitter (for the brave), glue, and lots of bric-a- brac and doo-dad’s makes this a fun project for kids. A fancy hat is fun or perhaps a hat for pirates day which will be celebrated on September 19!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I’m off and running early this morno. I’ll be back to muse more later! Monday? Bah Humbug, but do the best you can!
Odd Loves Company,
Morno,
Time to pull out my felt hat already? I need to warn people, seeing me in my felt hat makes men jealous and women swoon.
Linguine would be good later in the week. After this weekend I need to eat on the light side.
Most of those Logos took me by surprise.
Try and have a good one.
No doubt Mike, No doubt. I think you should share a picture! Feel free to have a linguine do over later in the week.
Interesting logos. Some of that info I’d heard before, of course, but as a web designer, logos fascinate me!
I don’t have a felt hat, but Domer had one in college. He was just like ^Mike^, Ha!!
Love that there are so many clever people born under Virgo! Makes me feel like I’m in good company.
Off to walk Dallas before it rains. Wet dog smell isn’t exactly my favorite!
I was surprised by how many logo’s I didn’t know.
I’m sure Domer was very handsome and suave in his felt hat!
Or they are in very good company!
Wet dog smell? I’m not sure I even smell it anymore 😀
I prefer Rigatoni, but will settle for Linguine.
Good thing Hat on Mike ^ is safely concealed behind his keyboard…….could be a riot building!
Clueless on the logos. What can I say?
Beautiful day again!
Good morning!
I think Mike should share a picture and let us judge! Unless of-course he is protecting us.
I’m loving that you are having such exceptional weather. I talked to my mother today and she was driving to agility in a rain storm. She was thrilled.
