Week 18 - Amy

HOLIDAYS
Well, well, well...I am a little bit behind in getting this out (a week is a little bit, right?). Anyway, very busy, very tired week, but here it is...even if it is late.

Monday September 24th

National Punctuation Day

This is a picture of brackets, very bent brackets, but brackets none the less. But what do we actually use them for in writing? Here is your punctuation lesson for the day: Brackets are used to enclose editorial comments within quoted material, to offer a translation, to offer the original foreign term, to nest parenthesis inside of parenthesis ( [ ] ), to offer phonetic transcriptions and to show indentation change when proofreading or editing.


Tuesday September 25th

National Comic Book Day

Comic book superheros: Captain 'Kieric' America and The Incredible 'Dagny' Hulk


Wednesday September 26th

Love Note Day

This is a photo of the front of an anniversary card from my husband. The inside says...and drive each other crazy for the rest of our lives. I thought it was so cute. There's a hand written love note inside as well, but that's for me.

Crush a Can Day

This is a #10 can with both ends removed and crushed. I turned the picture on it's side because I liked how the can and it's reflection on the counter-top made it look like a butterfly.


Friday September 28th

Native American Day

There is a lot of native heritage in this area. The town I live in is right next to the Umatilla Indian Reservation. This picture is from one of the Round Up parades. The Umatilla, Cayuse and Walla Walla tribes (along with several other tribes from all over the US) come to the Round Up and participate in various activities. They all dress in their traditional attire and ride in the parades. Several of them have pieces that have been passed down through the generations for over a hundred years. I like to watch their dance competitions as well.

Coffee Day

Mmmmm....coffee!!!


Sunday September 30th

Gold Star Mother's Day

 This is our county's memorial for those from Umatilla County that made the ultimate sacrifice. There is a different stone for each war.
