National Ag Day
Today is National Ag day! As many of you know, I grew up on a small dairy farm. Many of my friends growing up lived on farms too. It was a great way to grow up. I learned about hard work.

National Oreo Day
Today is sweet! It’s National Oreo day! I’m so old I remember when there was only one kind of Oreo. Yes, it’s true. We didn’t use to have Double Stuff and Thins and 27 different flavors.

Another supervisor described my writing as “a blind man writing with his feet”. I… Read more »

Wear Your Own Shoes Day
This day is a bit of a head scratcher. Multiple sites list today as “Wear Your Own Shoes Day” but no one knows where the “holiday” was started, by who, or what their original intent was. But who cares? Make this day your own in any way you see fit! If you have small kids, celebrate if they put their… Read more »
