Before Peanuts – Charles Schulz gave us Lil Folks – 1950
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Religious Holidays
ROSH HASHANAH marks the Jewish New Year and is celebrated for the next two days. Spending time with family, attending synagogue and praying for repentance is how this holiday is observed.
GUARDIAN ANGELS DAY brings us into the spiritual realm. I believe in angels and know more than a few people who have seen their guardians. All I know is that some of you keep your guardian angels very busy.
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
A tip of the hat goes out to CUSTODIAN WORKERS RECOGNITION DAY. These hard-working folk keep our workplaces, schools, hospitals and other establishments spic and span. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
Need your morning cup of joe? How about celebrating COFFEE WITH A COP DAY? What better way to get to know the folks who have sworn to serve and protect us and to give them a proper thanks.
For Fun
A newscaster from St. Louis, John Pertzborn, created NAME YOUR CAR DAY. His ’54 Buick would “shake, rattle and roll” so he called it “Elvis”. What’s a good name for your vehicle?
On Today’s Menu…
What better way to start National Seafood Month than with FRIED SCALLOPS DAY. These tasty morsels are better not being over cooked and go great with an ice-cold beer.
Let’s dig into those orange gourds and celebrate NATIONAL PUMPKIN SEED DAY. Full of vitamins these babies have more protein than a hard-boiled egg. Dig ‘em out, rinse them off and bake.
Halloween is coming up and NATIONAL SMARTIES DAY comes just in time. Did you know that this candy has been around since 1949, is free from the nine major food allergies, is gluten-free and is still being made by the same original family. This is probably as healthy as candy can get.
