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.
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
NOTARY PUBLIC DAY gives a nod to the people who help our legal systems and government work a little smoother. Notaries are certified by the Secretary of State of each state to make documents official and attest to people’s identities. A properly notarized document will carry some legal weight behind it as well as hold up in court. I have been certified for a couple of years and will amend today’s event as Hug a Notary Public Day.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
CANINE LYMPHOMA AWARENESS DAY brings to light one of the most common cancers that can affect our beloved dogs. Education is the key to dealing with this disease and CLEAR (Canine Lymphoma Education and Research) is a good place to start.
Celebrate You with…
NATIONAL RETINOL DAY celebrates this most popular anti-aging skin care ingredient. This Vitamin A derivative works by boosting the skin’s renewal process and helps to smooth out some of those wrinkles and lines. Treat yourself to a little skin therapy today.

For Fun
MEN MAKE DINNER DAY gives the gals a break as the men take over the kitchen duties. Now that could mean actually cooking, grilling or being the one who calls the restaurant for takeout.
Belly up to the Bar
INTERNATIONAL STOUT DAY hoists a mug to this strong, robust beer. This brew is better sipped and savored than chugged and oft times has kind of a coffee taste. Cheers!
On Today’s Menu…
BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE WITH ALMONDS DAY sounds like a Hershey bar to me. This is not the sweetest treat by any means, but it is still very satisfying and slightly healthier.
