There are certain times when nothing feels better than talking off one’s shoes and going barefoot. Like after a long day at work and your feet feel like they are in a shoe prison. Or walking in plush, green grass. Or strolling on a sandy beach and wading in the water.  Today beckons you to go the entire day without shoes. Enjoy!

World Milk Day

Interesting facts about Milk. With today’s technology, a person can milk 100 cows in an hour with modern machines. It used to take a person 1 hour to milk 6 cows by hand. It takes 10 pounds of milk to make a pound of cheese, 21 pounds of milk to make a pound of butter, and 12 pounds of milk to make a single gallon of ice cream. Dairy cows provide over 90% of the entire planet’s milk supply. Per gallon, milk costs more than gasoline in many areas of the United States. 65% of the milk consumption worldwide is from goat’s milk. 28 US states have an official state beverage. 21 of those 28 chose milk. Alabama chose whiskey.
