Happy National Pig Day, Miriam! I'm not sure what that means, so hopefully it's a good thing!
LOL! I almost missed National Pig Day! Thanks, Miriam. HAPPY PIG DAY to you too.
TERRY
Elizabeth, go to Terry's blog (Hill Country of Monroe County, Mississippi) and look for his HOGS logo...then you'll know why I highlighted this day!
Terry, thanks, and Happy Pig (or HOGS) day to you!
"March 29 - April 6: Spring Break Scan-a-Thon (stay tuned for more details)" - Sounds interesting, I've just been doing a bit of scanning.
It was St. David's Day here in Wales yesterday :)
Nikki-Ann, I hope you'll join us for the next Scanfest or for Spring Break Scan-a-thon! Happy St. David's Day to you (I'm not Welsh, but oh, well!).
Thank you for recapping the month, Miriam. We have a great deal of blogfodder to write articles about!!
Janice
No problem, Janice! I figured this was one way I would (hopefully) remember to submit all my posts in time for the carnivals!
Oh, I get it now about National Pig Day. I'm still a blogling, so I need everything to be explained to me (preferably slooooowly, and with small words and short sentences!).
Hope to meet up with you all during the Scanfest-a-palooza later this month!
1. St. David's Day - darn! how could I forget? I usually make Welsh Tea Cakes (aka Welsh Cookies).
2. Easter - in our household it isn't celebrated until April 27th this year which is Greek Easter. In addition, Greeks celebrate their "names day" which is basically the feast day of the saint for whom you are named. If the name day falls during Lent, such as April 23 for St. George's Day, then it is celebrated on Easter Monday, April 28th.
