February 2020:
PRESIDENTIAL LINEUP
For a short month, February is known for many things, ending with an extra day every four years. Happy Leap Year, 2020! Before that we observe Groundhog Day when the critter observes his own shadow (or not), Valentine's Day (love and dark chocolate time), and Presidents Day (Happy birthday George and Abe). We cheered for our favorite team in the Super Bowl on the 2nd and our favorite stars at the Academy Awards on the 9th - which is also National Pizza Day! And before we celebrate Mardi Gras on the 25th, here's to National Drink Wine Day on the 18th and National Margarita Day on the 22nd. So cheers to February, also known as Black History Month and American Heart Month!
