May 16th is also known as Drawing Day and Sea Monkey Day.
Yes, today is a special day where we can all release our amazing imagination and share it with the world. That’s because today is National Drawing Day. So take out your pencils and paper and unleash your inner artist!
For some of us, sea monkeys may have been our very first pets. They may never have ended up growing into anything like the creatures on the box, but that didn’t matter. We had our imagination to help us! Sea Monkey Day is a day to reflect on these glorious childhood years, or even to relive them!
May 16th, this day marks the 136th day of 2022, and there’s another 229 days to go. (At this rate we'll soon be thinking about Christmas!!!)
Back on 16 May 2006, The Apple MacBook was released.
Going back a little further to 1966 on the 16th May The Beach Boys released their album “Pet Sounds,” featuring the hit single “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.” One of my favourite groups 😊
Even further back ... in 1920, on 16 May, Pope Benedict XV canonized Joan of Arc.
The canonization ceremony was attended by more than 60,000 people, including 140 of Joan of Arc's family's descendants. Joan of Arc is the patron saint of martyrs, prisoners, soldiers, and France. Her Feast Day is May 30.

...Top Gun is something that I know nothing about.
Oh my! I wish I felt like I deserved a cake like this! lol It sure looks amazing. I'm still enjoying the muffins I make and they are just the right size for a snack. Maybe we should watch Top Gun today....oh and sketch! Enjoy your day!
Interesting facts. I know many kids named Maverick due to that movie
I remember sea monkeys from my youth, and my kids had them, too. Fun!
Yes, please, I'll have a slice of cake!
Great trivia this week! I'm not a Tom cruise fan. Now, about this cake, I will have to Google...I don't know what Erythritol is. 😄
That's not a film for me! Valerie
WOW...that cake looks AMAZING!! HAHA...I started reading about May 16th and laughed cause it hit me, in 1980 on this day I married. I was married 13 yrs but been divorced 30 yrs this coming Dec. Was always waiting for my prince, guess I should have stopped looking yrs ago. lol
The cake certainly looks tasty.
God bless.
Not a movie I have seen (and add me to those who are not fans of Tom Cruise). Great trivia.
I'm planning to see this movie.
I wish I could buy that cake!
I don't like Tom Cruise so I won't be watching the movie. But the birthday cake looks delicious.
I had sea monkeys as a kid. They were always so disappointing. And I can't believe it's been that long since Top Gun was released. I hope the "sequel" is good. Happy new week to both of you.
Ken will be baking my birthday cake the end of the month. : )
I've never seen Top Gun.
That cake looks so delicious.
Gracias por la receta. Se ve muy rico ese pastel. Te mando un beso.
Top Gun is a movie we've watched several times. I wonder what the new one will be like.
Should be an ok movie.
2 days before my Birthday :)
Hello,
The cake does look delicious! I am not a fan of Tom Cruise.
Take care, have a great day and week ahead!
Sea monkeys are a no. Cake a happy yes.
I am not a fan of Tom Cruise, but I would enjoy this stunning cake tremendously.
Drawing Day - Oh, my, I wish I could draw, but no such thing. I'm envious of people with drawing and painting skills.
