Do You Know What Today Is?


For those who might not know,
For those who have not heard,
I'm spreading the word - telling you
all {six words at a time}
that....you ready?...drum roll please!
Today is National Penguin Awareness Day!!
Lest you think I jest, here's
link that'll help you believe.

We love penguins at my house.
My son is madly in love
with the aquatic birds from Antarctica.
Obsessed, one might suggest. He loves
the real ones, the stuffed ones,
the cartoon, statuette or decorative ones.
And each and every endangered one.

So, today I'll ask you to
STOP what you're doing and GO
here for photos: The Daily Penguin 
Or here to learn more: Wikipedia
Share a penguin book or movie
with your kids, or just hug
the penguin lover in your life!

My sweet Jer, consider yourself hugged!



to Melissa and company:
forgive the silly liberties I took
with this week's topic - Stop and Go!

  9. Can not believe I was unaware of penguins last week! One of our family traditions is to visit a certain nursing home every year on Christmas Day. We have a group that we have grown to love and check on each year. One of these ladies, Virginia, is the queen of penguin love! She owns all things penguins and is a store of penguin facts. I just wish we would have known about Penguin Awareness so we could have gotten it on her calendar!
