I hope Ireland doesn't have a Family Day: it's the last thing I need here.

Feb. 15, 1965, was the day Canada adopted the maple leaf flag, and some have called for that to be a national holiday. My home province of Manitoba has a holiday today too, but they have called it Louis Riel Day. Louis Riel was hanged as a traitor in the 1880s, but today he is recognized as the founder of Manitoba and a leader of the Metis people. Nova Scotia celebrates Heritage Day and picks a different heritage theme to focus on every year. I would prefer something like that. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-73335417690175534752017-02-20T20:21:38.484-05:002017-02-20T20:21:38.484-05:00They could have called it "short break in the...They could have called it "short break in the shortest month." Love Day to piggyback on Valentine's Day. Or centered it on something cool -- Book Day, a unique break in February that encourages people to buy books, give books as gifts, join reading circles for the day, etc.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-33461265055618439632017-02-20T13:13:02.616-05:002017-02-20T13:13:02.616-05:00SO much more inclusive!

It's also February Break, so I have this week off, although I brought a lot of work home. I just have to discipline myself to buckle down and get it done before I spend the last few days of break frantically working! (But in my pajamas, so that's a plus.) Family Day on top of Mother's Day and Father's Day, huh? Hmmmm. I hope you are having a lovely sunny day like we are in Rochester. Chilly, but the sunshine makes me feel less like hibernating. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.com
