From Wikipedia: National Donut Day or National Doughnut Day, celebrated in the United States and in some other countries, is on the first Friday of June of each year, succeeding the donut event created by The Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938 to honor those of their members who served donuts to soldiers during World War I.
No matter what flavor donut you have, may it be a sweet celebration of fried dough. Also, a coffee of your choosing makes it even better.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who observe. Remember the man St. Patrick who this day honors and what he did in his life and ministry for the people of Ireland. To those who will be celebrating tonight, do so safely and with merriment.
Éirinn go Brách – Ireland Forever!
It’s night two of the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah. Although we are not Jewish it’s still a good thing to remember the miracle that the holiday is based on. God’s kids celebrating stuff together is what the world needs more of.
Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day 2021 will occur on Thursday, April 22—the holiday’s 51st anniversary. The holiday is now a global celebration that’s sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green living.
It’s important to take care of where we live. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replenish and Restore all the things. When you take care of our planet you take care of others and yourself. It’s being a good neighbor. As we continue to deal with the pandemic lets not lose sight of having a planet that will sustain us in all situations.
Always think global but act local.

Grace and peace to you all from Nova Scotia to British Columbia and all the places in between.
Today is my 51st birthday. Yes I don’t mind revealing how old I am. It’s a badge of honor and life. It’s an interesting time we live in and to celebrate birthdays is a good thing. Having friends of all ages is something cool. Thank you for your friendship everyone.
