Happy Anniversary!

Well, today is our 8th Anniversary! We made it passed the 7 year itch! Happy Day. In honor of our anniversary, do you know what was invented on this day, April 7th, in 1877 by an English Chemist named John Walker? It is not used as much as it once was, but certainly everyone knows what this is!

Here's some other interesting April 7th happenings:

1990: Farm Aid IV was held in the Hoosier Dome. 45,000 people attended the 13-hour concert, which raised $1 million. Performers: Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Elton John. - Wish I could have gone. Bet it was a good time.

1989: One week after the Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster, President Bush pledged federal assistance to help in the clean-up. - All those poor fish and birds. Could have gone a lifetime without that spill.

1984: The Census Bureau reported Los Angeles had overtaken Chicago as the nation's "second city" in terms of population. - But were they all legal??

1966: The United States recovered a hydrogen bomb it had lost off the coast of Spain. -Thank goodness! Who knew we even lost one?

1947: Auto pioneer Henry Ford died in Dearborn, Michigan, at age 83. - As a past owner of a Ford Pinto (1977 1/2) I just had to honor the man in my blog.

And last but not least... did you know April is:

Multicultural Communication Month - (Everyone is supposed to learn a second language... ha!)

Municipal Community Services Month - (California came up with this one.)

National Anxiety Month - Encourages people to turn worrying into problem-solving. - (HA! What can I say about this one???)

Thanks for visiting. Stay tuned for the invention!
