National Cinnamon Crescent Day –
Who wants to have plain old crescent rolls when you can have cinnamon
crescent rolls. I know which I would prefer.
Golfer's Day – Golfers will
golf any time they can, even if they have to sneak away from work or
out of the house to do it. But today you can golf, guilt free.
Maybe take the kids and teach them how to
play......or....not....goodness, I didn't know you all could move
that fast. You must be in a hurry to golf, I'm sure it has nothing
to do with wanting to get away from the kids.
National Siblings Day – As I
often tell my children; friends of all kinds may come and go but
siblings are a part of your life forever. Make sure your siblings
know how much you love them.
ASPCA Day – Founded on this
day in 1866, the ASPCA was the first humane organization ever created
in the Western Hemisphere. Their mission was to “provide effective
means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United
States.”
National Farm Animals Day –
Founded by Colleen Paige, this is a day to recognize the problems of
slaughter animals, and to find homes for abandoned and abused farm
animals. http://www.farmanimalsday.com/
Salvation Army Founder's Day –
On this day in 1829, William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army
was born. His mission continues to help people around the world to
this day.
Safety Pin Day – On this day
in 1849, Walter Hunt was granted a patent for his invention of the
safety pin which he later sold for $400. He invented the safety pin
to settle a $15 debt to a friend so he got $385 out of the deal. The
company that bought it was W.R. Grace and Company which has made
millions of dollars in profit from Hunt's invention over the years.
To celebrate today, make some cinnamon
rolls and take them with you to share when you go golfing with your
siblings. While you're at it, bring some of the animals from a local
farm with you so they can take advantage of the prime grazing
potential with all that space and green grass. I'm sure the golf
course owner won't mind. Make sure you have plenty of safety pins
with you in the event of a wardrobe malfunction and see if you can
talk your siblings into adopting an animal from the local SPCA.
Before you go home, stop by a Salvation Army and drop off a donation
or offer to volunteer your time to help out such a worthwhile charity
organization.
