Sorry!
I've not been as loyal to the holidays as I should. I'm finding as the weather gets nicer, and I'm feeling a little better, I'm not wanting to be inside on the computer. My mom's also not helping me as much as she was... unfortunately I have not done as many celebrations as I would like. Sorry.

Morse Code Day
For Morse Code day I wrote my Friend a letter in Morse Code. It says hardly any thing in it but the idea is cool! I think she'll enjoy deciphering it!
Babe Ruth day
So today is Babe Ruth day, here's a link on the day.
I don't feel like writing something up on the day so I'm just going to eat a Baby Ruth!
Though I must say I did look up the Baby Ruth candy bar and found some thing interesting!
The candy bar is thought to be named after the baseball player Babe Ruth (right?), but it was originally named after President Grover Cleveland's first daughter 'baby' Ruth Cleveland!
Oh well, happy Babe Ruth day any way!
Brussels sprouts and Cabbage Month
Last night I made Chicken salad with purple cabbage in it, and Brussels Sprouts on the side.
I think celebrating this one was rather yummy!
Happy Brussels sprouts and Cabbage month!
Matanzas Mule day
A village named Matanzas, in Cuban, was bombed on April 27th, 1898. There was only one casualty....a mule! The mule became famous at once and ended up in the history books! Happy matanzas Mule day!

Poem in Your Pocket day
Here is the poem I'm carrying in my pocket today:
By George MacDonald
1824-1905
By George MacDonald
1824-1905
I said "Let me walk in the fields."
He said "Nay, walk in town."
I said "there are no flowers there."
He said "no flowers but a crown."
I said "But the skies are black;
there is nothing but noise and din."
And he wept as he sent me back-
"There is more," He said; "There is sin."
I said "But the air is thick,
And fogs are veiling the sun."
He answered "Yet souls are sick,
And souls in the dark undone!"
I said "I shall miss the light,
And friends will miss me, they say."
He answered 'Choose tonight
If I am to miss you or they."
I pleaded for time to be given.
He said "is it hard to decide?
It will not seem hard in heaven
To have followed the steps of your guide."
I cast one look at the fields,
Then set my face to town;
He said "my child do you yield?
Will you leave the flowers for the crown?"
Then into his hand went mine;
And into my heart came he:
And I walk in a light divine,
The path I had feared to see.
I took a poetry class once and we all had to memorize a poem: this is the one I chose to memorize. I really like it.
Hug and Australian day
Sorry for the quality of the picture. It was taken on my mom's phone.

Confederate History Month
I Had to read the book Riffles for Watie for school. Here I wrote a small couple paragraphs on the book. Enjoy.
Nearing the end of April
The month is nearly over. I have been going through my calendar and schedule trying to find any thing I may have missed. There is a bunch of holidays that I celebrated but didn't post about. I will try to fill you in on all that. I am also trying to do as many monthly ones I can before the month comes to an end...wish me luck!

Zucchini Bread Day
We had a family over for dinner and I made Zucchini bread! I might post the recipe we use later. It's really easy, We just use Zucchini that mom canned instead of fresh Zucchini, It makes it simpler. Happy Zucchini bread day!
Movie Theater Day
International Nose-Picking day
International Nose-picking day is one I think we'd all be happy without! Though I did celebrate it, And don't worry, the finger was washed afterwards! Happy (Or not so much happy as gross) Nose-Picking day!
I find the cat in the background to be kinda funny
National Picnic day
I was reading some thing on National Picnic day and it said "If the weather permits..." well the weather didn't permit. It's been raining for two days strait. Though that didn't stop me from having a picnic! My sister and I had a Picnic on our living room floor!
Happy picnic day!
Earth Day and Jelly Bean day
Okay, so today is my brother's twentieth birthday. I think it's okay to say that that's celebrating earth day seeing that his name is Forest! My mom had no idea that it was earth day when she named him!
Then to celebrate Jelly Bean day I gave Forest a bag of Jelly Beans for his birthday.
