Now if you have any law enforcement background, you will get a kick out of this... it was posted on Phil Santisteven's (LASD ret) FB page:

 

The wife and I (both retired now) were discussing the recent

 

talk about uniform changes to brass buttons. She asked if

 

 this was for both the Sam and Sally Browns. I advised her

 

 do to recent political correctness they are no longer called

 

 Sam and Sally and are currently referred to as Caitlyn

 

 Browns. It took a few moments for it to sink in, which was

 

 just long enough for me to duck.

 

(If you have no law enforcement connection, a Sam Brown,

 

for men, or a Sally Brown ,for women, is what we call

 

the duty belt that holds the holster.)

Bake Cookies Day

(I made these last year for my grandchildren and my neighbor's Frank & Cindy's grandchildren. They loved them!)

'Ya gotta just love Bake Cookies Day.........

..... Christmas is for Christians

..... Hanukkah is just for Jews

..... Kwanzaa is for those of African origin

..... Native American Day is for American Indians

But, Bake Cookies Day is for EVERYONE!

Bake Cookies Day comes at an opportune time. It arrives amidst the major December holidays. It serves as a reminder to bake holiday cookies, if you haven't done so already.

People, young and old, celebrate this day by baking their favorite cookies. Make a party of it, and bake cookies in groups with family, friends, kids and grandkids. Don't stop at baking just one kind of cookies. Plan to bake a number of cookies. Try a new recipe, or two, or three, or...

.

If you bake more than you can eat, good for you! Wrap up gift trays filled with cookies for friends and neighbors. Most cookies freeze well, too.

Important Note: we are very surprised that Bake Cookies Day is not immediately followed by "Eat Cookies Day". We did not even find an Eat Cookies Day. So you can, and should, eat them everyday!.

National Maple Syrup Day

 

 

National Maple Syrup Day provides us with the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate this delicious American treat. This sweet and unique flavor originated in America. Native American Indians were the first to harvest and boil the sap of the maple tree into a thick syrup.

 

Watching or participating in a maple sap harvest, or demonstration, is a fun late winter event. They are held in February-March, when the sap is flowing. It is educational for the kids, too. During field demonstrations, some of the sap is boiled down into syrup. Best of all, free samples are often giving, poured over a pancake or vanilla ice cream.

 

Did you know? Sap of the maple tree, the same sap used to make maple syrup, makes a refreshing drink. Just put it in the refrigerator and pour a drink whenever you want. Or, have a drink as you harvest the sap from the tree!

 

How do you participate in National Maple Syrup Day? Pour real maple syrup onto your pancakes or waffles. Or, for an evening treat, pour warm maple syrup onto vanilla ice cream.

 

Please note, make sure you are using maple syrup, not pancake syrup. Unless the ingredients state otherwise, pancake syrup no longer contains maple syrup.(a surprise to many)
