Lunch With The Boys at Louie's Rose Hill Cafe, 107 S. Rose Hill Road, in Rose Hill.
2021-04-09 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago)
Reserved. On Unicorn Day, since it is getting warmer and we want to get out more, we’re going to Rose Hill for lunch. However, we have to get there early as they get very busy with their usual lunch time crowd. You can find their menu at: rosehillchamber.org/louis-cafe/tab/menu. It’s also, Name Yourself Day. You can either name yourself, or we’ll be glad to call you names, your choice.

Botanica's Tulip Festival, 701 N. Amdion
2021-04-10 10:00 - 12:00
General Admission is $10 and Senior Admission is $8. The Carousel is an additional $3. Over 66,000 tulips in over 110 varieties were planted. I suggest we get there early so we can have more time to see all of the tulips. Bring your camera as this is a photo opportunity. There will be food trucks available and music. If it is bad weather, we can reschedule for either of the following two Saturdays. For more information and to purchase tickets go to: botanica.org/tulip-fest.

Bowling at West Acres Bowl, 749 N. Ridge Road.
2021-04-10 14:00 - 15:30
It may be Golfer’s Day, but we’re going bowling instead and at an earlier time. Both Seneca and North Rock Bowls have tournaments this date. In hopes to finish up before Cosmic Bowling begins at 3:30 PM, we’re going at 2 PM. We’ll decide where and when to go eat afterwards. Last year, on International Safety Pin Day, we found out that not all pins are safe, no matter where we put them. Ouch!

It’s also Walk On Your Wild Side Day, and here’s Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed from 1972: vimeo.com/348710553.

Potluck /Business Meeting, 6:30 PM at Hilltop Manor Clubhouse, 1411 S Oliver.
2021-04-17 18:30 - 20:00
Since it’s Blah Blah Blah Day, we’ll keep the business part of our meeting short and sweet. It’s also Cheeseball Day, but you can bring whatever you want. I don’t know what the weather will be like, whether it will be warm or cold, so bring appropriate foods and desserts. And we’ll have Bingo, so bring your bingo prizes ($5 or less in taste)wrapped or bagged. It’s also Husband Appreciation Day, so be sure to appreciate yours or someone else’s. In fact, invite them to potluck so we can all appreciate them!

Pitch Night, 7 PM at Tracy's
2021-04-21 19:00 - 22:00
On World Creativity and Innovation Day, I know of some people who like to make up their own rules, and even their own card games. And you can find them here. In case you’re wondering what to bring to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, remember it’s Tea Day, Banana Day and Chocolate Covered Cashews Day. Let’s see how creative and innovative you can be with a banana!

Coffee With The Boys at HeBrews Cafe & Coffeehouse, 304 Main St. in Towanda.
2021-04-22 09:00 - 10:00
It’s Earth Day, and what better way to start the day than with a good breakfast. I have heard so much about HeBrews and received a recommendation that I thought it would be worth our while to try them. They said Thursday would be a better day to visit as they offer breakfast all day. You can read about them at: www.onlyinyourstate.com/kansas/past-decade-restaurants-ks/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=kansas&utm_campaign=newsletter.

Bowling at West Acres Bowl, 749 N. Ridge Rd.
2021-04-24 14:00 - 15:30
Go Birding Day is for the birds. We want to go bowling. We’re going back to West Acres because Seneca Bowl still has a tournament going on this date, and Northrock charges $10 per person, per hour. And we’re going earlier to avoid Cosmic Bowling which starts at 3:30 PM. Afterwards let’s go somewhere where they serve Pigs in a Blanket, since it’s Pig In A Blanket Day. Beats Save The Frogs Day, excuse the pun.

CookOUT at Sparky's
2021-04-24 17:00 - 20:00
To celebrate National Sense of Smell Day, Sparky is offering to grill hot dogs and hamburgers with weather permitting. You are asked to bring sides and desserts, and if you want anything different to throw on the grill, bring it. Sparky is also providing outdoor games, like Corn Hole, old school.

It’s National Shrimp Scampi Day and I’m sure that they serve that here, or they should. Fred & Barney’s was so good when we ate there last December. They even remembered us, fondlely, let’s hope.

Breakfast Boys Club, 9 AM at Jimmy’s Egg, 106 S. Hydraulic
2021-05-01 09:00 - 10:00
It’s May Day and World Naked Gardener’s Day. Perhaps we should have had breakfast on someone’s patio, and enjoyed all that nature has to offer. Or maybe go to Dutchman’s or Johnson’s to see what they’re offering as free samples? Beats Free Comic Book Day all to hell!
We’ve haven’t been to Jimmy’s Egg since November. And to refresh your memory, here’s their menu:www.jimmysegg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Wichita-KS-El-Dorado-KS-2020-Sp-Menu.pdf. No reservation is required, so whoever gets there first, ask for a table for eight.

I know it’s only been since March when we were here last, but I received a suggestion to return. And since it’s National Nurses Day, invite him to join us for dinner.

2021-05-15 18:30 - 20:00
With holidays like Bring Flowers To Someone Day and Straw Hat Day, I’m thinking we should have more Spring like foods such as our annual Everything Salads dinner. Now, for the newcomers and uninitiated, Everything Salads is not just vegetables, but includes ham or chicken salads, green salads, fruit salads, etc., you get the picture. Of course, as in the past, if that day generally turns out to be cold, we’ll just throw everything into a big pot and have soup!
And since the next day is LGBTQ+ Elders Day, we will have Amy Arnold from Central Plains Area Agency on Aging as our guest speaker to tell us about they have to offer us.

How’s this for an ice breaker. In 2005 National Masturbation Day was moved to May 28th and is now celebrated worldwide as International Masturbation Day.

They’re actually not that nice, but they’re a great group of guys who get slightly competitive regardless whether we’re playing Pitch or UNO. If you’re feeling a bit peckish and if you’re wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, it’s also Rotisserie Chicken Day and Rocky Road Day, ice cream, that is.

HIV- Long Term Survivors Day

40 years ago on this date was when the first five cases of what was later to be known as AIDS were officially reported.
