Hmmm... Oddly I'm not seeing anything after October 19th. The bottom of the calendar contains a pic placeholder only for me.

Please check the calendar again. I had a most difficult time posting and had to edit several times. Let me know if you are still unable to see all of it.

Wow, now that's a calendar! Great job!

Thanks. Told you it was long. October is a busy month!

That'll be me causing that :-)

By the way, what is Sweetest Day?

Yes indeed, you are making the monthly calendar 8 lines longer to be exact! It's OK though. Am looking forward to your new challenge.

So I did a little research...
Observed the 3rd Saturday in the month of October, Sweetest Day observance originated in Cleveland in 1922. Herbert Birch Kingston, a philanthropist and candy company employee wanted to bring happiness into the lives of orphans, shut-ins and others who were forgotten. With the help of friends, he began to distribute candy and small gifts to the underprivileged.

On the first Sweetest Day, movie star Ann Pennington presented 2,200 Cleveland newspaper boys with boxes of candy to express gratitude for their service to the public.
Another popular movie star, Theda Bara, distributed 10,000 boxes of candy to people in Cleveland hospitals and also gave candy to all who came to watch her film in a local theater.

Primarily a regional observance celebrated in the Great Lakes region and the Northeast, Sweetest Day is gradually spreading to other areas of the country. People tend to take the Sweetest Day tradition with them when they move. Ohio is the top state for Sweetest Day sales, followed by Michigan and Illinois. Texas, California and Florida are among the top 10 states in sales. Over the years, Sweetest Day has evolved into a time to express romantic love and also to show appreciation to friends. California and Florida are among the top 10 states in sales.

Oh, that's sounds like a fun tradition. We have way too many holidays and traditions. We have one next month that I detest. November 5th is Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes night. You've probably heard of it.

I hate it because fireworks terrify me. (Unless they're in the hands of a fully qualified pyro-technician)

What is "The Sweetest Day" oh Calendar girl?

[lindafishes8.livejournal.com]

IK's birthday? Your birthday? What? (snicker)

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

You have me confused....October 18th? I though it was settled on as Sept. 19th. DmcC's b-day

It's the third Sat.in October. Check out the Sweetest day explanation I gave jantojones.
