Celebrate Whatever

It seems that every day is National or International Something Day. Next year I think I'll design a calendar with all the silly celebration days I can find. Some of them are just too good not to celebrate so in true"'just give us an excuse to party" fashion, we're celebrating a double today.

First up, it's National Black Dog Day.

OK, we've got that one covered. We have two black dogs,

two mostly black with some white dogs,

a black and silver dog,

two black and white dogs,

and a black, tan and white dog.

 Around here we love black dogs and always have a few on hand.

Next it's National Homemade Cookies Day. This is not to be confused with National Cookie Day which is December 4. Mark your calendars.

We're working on this one. I'm in the process of baking chocolate chunk cookies,

and frosted chocolate cookies. These are from a recipe my Grandmother used. They were my Grandfather's favorites and they're mine, too.

Finally, this is post number 1200 for our blog. Break out those cupcakes and let's get this party rolling.
