So there you have it. An entire month of days to celebrate. And you don’t even have to be Columbus to enjoy them.
I noticed that you posted this on the 5th. So you can check off your nice thing. Days 6 & 7 are in that order for a reason! I think I’ll skip sewing on the 12th. And I can’t wait to see what you post on the 17th. I also volunteer to help you on the 21st as long as you don’t count them again after I leave!
I love that National fossil day, I love Lucy day, and take your parents to lunch day are all on the same day. I can’t help thinking they are all related somehow. LOL
Audrey,
That s so funny about the 6th and 7th being in that order! I hadn’t noticed that when I was typing them out. So funny!
