WEEKEND WISHES EARLY

Weekend Wishes on a Thursday:

What’s this weekend wishes on a Thursday, yes Speakies I’ve decided not to write this Friday but call it a 3-day weekend. Maybe it’s because tomorrow is Friday the 13th and I want to watch horror movies all day long, no I just don’t feel like writing tomorrow. We have some holidays to celebrate and as usual I may inject my personal views concerning them so here is what we celebrate today and over the weekend.

BIG WILD DAY – Stumped on this one Speakies, go out and do something big and wild today. However, don’t do something stupid I need readers like you around.

LICORICE DAY – Back in my younger day’s one had only 2 choices black or red. I prefer the black licorice and we had various shapes of licorice. I remember the regular strips of licorice, the round red coins, black pipes, the black wheel with the red ball inside, cut pieces and the strings of licorice. Later as I remember came the strawberry and green licorice strips. Have some over the weekend and bring back those childhood days.

SCRABBLE DAY – I love that game Roe and I played it every weekend for a while. I would have to say our matches came out even in wins. The set I have is marked 1948.

PECAN DAY – Not crazy for pecans I’m a cashew man myself. In fact Pecan Pie is just too chewy and sweet for an old grump like me. For you pecan lovers out there dig in this is your day.

THE DAY THE TITANIC WENT DOWN – A great tragedy at sea but someone did not heed the words received from other ships in the area about icebergs. Hollywood made more money on that sinking probably than the White Star Line made while in existence.

Here are a few more holidays and I’ll pass on my comments except for the last one. FLY A KITE DAY, RUBBER ERASER DAY, THE FIRST MICKEY D’S OPENED AND FINALLY MY FAVORITE – HUSBAND APPRECIATION DAY. Hear that one Dolls do something nice for your Guy on Sunday.

DON’T FORGET THE TAX MAN COMETH THE 15TH.
