Frog Jumping Day – I'm not
sure where this day came from although I did find speculation that
the idea originated from Mark Twain, if not the day itself. It is a
day to either jump like a frog, or partake in frog jumping races.
Leprechaun Day – This is a day
dedicated to these wonderful, Irish elves. See if you can find one
today. If you do, don't let him go until he leads you to his pot of
gold.
National Apple Pie Day –
Celebrated today and on December 3rd, this is a day to
revel in that delicious apple filling and that tender, flaky crust.
Hmmmm, I can smell it now. It has consistently ranked at the top of
the list on surveys asking people what their favorite dessert is. It
is a dish that is older than the Pilgrims who colonized America so it
is not really an American dish, but it has become one that is
associated with all things American.
National Women's Check-up Day –
This is a day for women to make sure they are healthy by going to the
doctor for a checkup. I know, you don't have time for that. But you
also don't have time for a serious, and possibly avoidable, health
issue like diabetes or heart disease. Keep on top of your health and
you will have a better chance of catching problems, and fixing them,
before they are real problems.
To celebrate today, jump like a frog
everywhere you go, while you keep your eyes open and watch for those
slippery, tricky leprechauns. If you find one and can keep a hold of
it long enough, you'll be rich. If you're a woman, head to the
doctor for a checkup, and then indulge in a dessert of apple pie, of
course. Enjoy!
