National Brothers' Week and Other March Celebrations

To our surprise, we learned, via Facebook, that there's a National Brothers Week in March, and that we missed it.

To be honest, we had never heard of a week devoted to honoring brothers, but after doing some research, we discovered that Brothers do have their own week. In fact, sisters get a week of their own in March, too, March 25-31.

After just a few minutes Googling, you'll discover that March is filled with weeks that celebrate various causes. There's our personal favorites - National Bubble Gum Week and the American Chocolate Week, followed closely by Root Canal Awareness Week.

March is also the month, according to Google, that we are to celebrate Newspapers in Our Schools Week, National Crochet Week, National School Breakfast Week, Sleep Awareness Week, Consumer Protection Week, Poison Prevention Week, and Flood Safety Awareness Week.

So much to celebrate. Now off we go to Walmart to stock up on party favors, Lysol, Pledge and Swiffer Sweepers. After all, it's almost party time. National Cleaning Week is just around the corner.

P.S. Sorry brother Bill. D&B missed Brothers Week. We'll make it up next year!

Nugget Gets New Home and Facebook Page

Nugget, Dahlonega's town dog, seems to be adjusting to her new home and new adopted family. Nugget, if you don't know, spent years living in the parking lot of the Golden Pantry and strolling casually through our town. Then someone turned her in to animal control and Nugget became a local media star.

Nugget is doing so well now that she even has her own Facebook page and a Twitter account. According to a recent Facebook post, Nugget is "happy and doing well. She is living with two other dogs and is adjusting well. Her new property has a little river that she hates getting out of. She seems to enjoy letting her new human assistants hold her leash when she takes them for a walk." 

Obviously, Nugget is an amazing pup...she types and tweets. Check out her Facebook page.
