Today is National Donuts Day!
Fun Fact #2
On Sunday, May 31, astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley's space capsule Crew Dragon docked with the International Space Station, and the astronauts joined the crew on board. Both astronauts reported that the Dragon spacecraft performed beautifully. The Falcon 9 rocket that launched the Crew Dragon capsule into orbit returned to earth, landing on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship and returning to Port Canaveral.
A very successful mission so far!
That is all for today! Have a great weekend!

"Each year on the first Friday in June, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day, celebrating the doughnut and honoring the Salvation Army Lassies. The Salvation Army Lassies are the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI.
In 1917, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army. It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe. Home-cooked foods, provided by these brave volunteers, were a morale boost to the troops." ---- National Day Calendar website
So today is a great day to experiment making or eating donuts! Glazed donuts, jelly filled donuts, creme filled donuts, Boston Cream Pie donuts, blueberry donuts . . . YUM!!!
Fun Fact:
