NATIONAL VIOLIN DAY

Honoring an instrument also known as the fiddle, National Violin Day on December 13th celebrates the bow stringed instrument loved around the world.

By drawing the bow across the strings, the violinist manipulates the sound in several ways. A violinist uses numerous bowing techniques to master the violin. The strokes dictate not only notes, but the quality of the note played.

While we associate the violin with classical music, it easily crosses genres. For instance, the violinist demonstrates the versatility of the violin by extensive use in baroque music, jazz, folk music, rock and roll, and soft rock.

PICK A PATHOLOGIST PAL DAY

Pick a Pathologist Pal Day on December 13th encourages us to make friends with a pathologist or coroner because we never know what tomorrow holds.

NATIONAL COCOA DAY

December 13th ushers in a celebration worthy of the winter holidays with National Cocoa Day. What better way to warm up after a cold day outside?

We make hot cocoa with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar. However, Americans often use hot chocolate and hot cocoa interchangeably, sometimes causing a bit of confusion. There is a difference between the two beverages. We make hot chocolate by using ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. We mix it with hot milk, and it is drinking chocolate.

NATIONAL GUARD BIRTHDAY

December 13th commemorates the National Guard Birthday. On December 13th, 1636, the Massachusetts General Court established an official militia for the first time in the American Colonies.

NATIONAL DAY OF THE HORSE

National Day of the Horse on December 13th encourages people of the United States to be mindful of the contribution of horses to the economy, history, and character of the United States.

all of this. Taci you have been here ten years that’s how old this thread is I just make
a new number and this is thread 27 you know I have had threads that ran for two years. LOL!

Enjoy your evening.

@oodiebom,

Good evening thank you for your kind thoughts it’s been a long road. I am still on the meds
until May I only need a Mammogram once a year. I did get some new VS Bras. I feel like the
weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I do have a physical with my primary care and one
more and I am done until next year. 😎🎈Health is everything.

I am so glad your paperwork is one and done. 💕I don’t think it’s a problem being in the
hospital I think he may like it and the food. I can’t wait for him to get home.

Oodie the cats are all fine the only cat to come to me was a female looking cat. I was stunned
that means she belongs to someone. The rest live outdoors and I make sure all eat. We are around 25 degrees and we built a little place for them to be safe. I have noticed that each
cat is on his own they do not run together and they avoid each other when possible.

One cat I had to train so I went and got my BB Gun that is what I use to get their attention
not to fight over food and wait their turn. 😎

I am so tired I woke extra early because I wanted the appointment over all women do.

They are all so cute and make great pets. 💕
