Ridley's Believe It Or Not—September 22. 2014: Trust
your weekend went and the batteries are recharged and that you enjoy the
holidays and factoids and quote from three centenarians with a smile on your
sunscreened face, with an ice cream cone and/or a piece of white chocolate in
your hand, blessed with a positive attitude, and secure in the knowledge that
if you want to find a gift for a memorable event, you know that the Alaskanpoet
can provide you with a unique customized poem tailored to the event and the
recipient.
1. Autumnal Equinox—celebrating the passage of the Sun over the
equator and the beginning of fall.
2. One Web Day---promoting since 2006
awareness of the importance of the internet to our daily lives.
3. Hobbit
Day – celebrating the birthdays of two Hobbits—Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.
4. National
Centenarians Day—celebrating those increasing number of humans who live
to be 100 years or more—for the Alaskanpoet only 33 more years to go.
5. National
Ice Cream Cone/National White Chocolate Day—a great bookend of food holidays to
splurge on; enjoy!
