It's the third day of rain and Lily is driving me bonkers! She really needs
to go outside for a LONG while. I know she doesn't mind the rain, but I don't
want a wet dog.
I wanted to let people know that Connie C. is alright, but she can't seem to get on Gather. It's been about 5 days now. She's going to try again today....and she has already emailed Chuck. Connie will be back on as soon as she get on.
So...what are we celebrating today....
1). National Nothing Day: Hey, I like this one! Celebrate this day by doing....nothing. Of course, that assumes that doing nothing is okay with your boss. This day is an "un-event" proposed in 1972 by columnist Harold Pullman Coffin and observed annually on January 16 since 1973, when it was added to Chase's Calendar of Events.
2). Appreciate a Dragon Day: Appreciate a Dragon Day was started in 2004 by Mrs. Paul to celebrate the release of DragonSpell. Dragons as the subject of myths, fantasies and legends have captured the imaginations and have lured many interested but hesitant readers into the stories. Thus this holiday now serves as a venue to call to the adventurous spirits of both adults and children and to lead them into the world of literature. I think I'll have to get out my dragon record and play it....lol.
3). National Fig Newton Day: The Fig Newton was named after the town of Newton, Massachusetts. According to Nabisco, the cookie was invented in 1891 by a Philadelphian, James Henry Mitchell, who created the duplex dough-sheeting machines and funnels that made the jam-filled cookies possible. He thought of the soft dough with fruit filling as cookie “pies.” Have a couple of Fig Newtons today....
4). Religious Freedom Day: Today is Religious Freedom Day — a day to celebrate the adoption of Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Establishing Religious Freedom. Why celebrate it? We might start by remembering a history of religious discrimination and persecution. Now we have (supposedly) separation of church and state.
5). International Hot and Spicy Food Day: Archaeological evidence suggests that people have been using hot spices in their recipes for over 6000 years. Eating spicy food actually has excellent health benefits, and some spices kill bacteria too, making food safer to consume in general. Celebrate this holiday by adding some spice to your food....or some hot peppers. Maybe I'll make some spicy venison and beef chili today.
If you find something else just add it below. I always love the different food holidays I find. Maybe I should start listing those a few days ahead, so all of us can have the right foods on hand. LOL
