How to celebrate Aug 2nd
Coloring books, ice cream sandwiches, India Pale Ale, and computer-aided design might not seem to have much in common, but hey, let’s make a fun day out of it! Start your morning by coloring a few pages in a coloring book. It’s a soothing and creative way to kick off the day. Next, treat yourself to a delicious ice cream sandwich. You could buy one or easily make your own with a few simple ingredients. After indulging your sweet tooth, why not head to a local brewery or beer shop to taste and appreciate some India Pale Ales? If beer isn’t your thing, grab your computer and spend some time exploring computer-aided design (CAD) software. Who knows, you might discover a new passion for design! Wrap up your day by combining all these elements – grab a beer, snack on an ice cream sandwich while admiring your coloring book creations, and perhaps try your hand at sketching a CAD design. Cheers to a whimsical and fun-filled day celebrating the unexpected!
