Welcome to the Ann Tucker Blog!

Welcome to my personal blog. Thanks to my son for building this neat blog page. I decided I wanted to give my thoughts and words to the world and hope they have some meaning and memories to grandparents (and others) everywhere. I am a retired civil servant (35.5 years with the Department of the Air Force), mother of two and grandmother of five. My maiden name was Scaling and I was married to Tilford N. Tucker. I raised and put two great children through college so I have a lot of experiences to build on. After retirement I became a webmaster (working for my son) for some of our family websites: ShaggyDuck
Have a fun time and a great day, bookmark this site and come back often!!!!

Mark your April calendar

Most people think April is best known for April Fools Day and Easter but let me tell you how wrong that is. Behind Easter there are more very important monthly, weekly and daily observances that should not be ignored. April is Month of the Frog, International Twit Award, National Decorating, and Straw Hat. During the month there is International Pooper-Scooper Week: 1-7 (everyone needs to mark this one), National Week of the Ocean: 4-10 (???), International Whistler's Week: 14-18, and most importantly Sky Awareness Week: 18-24 (be sure you are aware of the sky).

During the month, I felt you might need to schedule your appointments around the following Daily Observances:

Sorry Charlie Day: 1
St Stupid Day: 1 -http://www.saintstupid.com/event.html#newz (I know a lot of people who need to celebrate this day!)
Pony Express Day: 3
International Beaver Day: 7
No Housework Day: 7 (Now this would be my favorite day)
National Cherish An Antique Day: 9
International "Louie Louis" Day: 11
D.E.A.R. Day (aka Drop Everything and Read): 12 - http://www.dropeverythingandread.com/NationalDEARday.html
Licorice Day: 12
Walk on Your Wild Side Day: 12
Take a Wild Guess Day: 15 (I will make that guess when someone asks me something)
That Sucks Day: 15 (I seem to have a lot of these days lately)
National Wear Your Pajamas To Work Day: 16 (I almost wish I was working - at least on this day only)
National Hanging Out Day: 19
Talk Like Shakespeare Day: 23 - http://www.talklikeshakespeare.org/
Hug An Australian Day: 26 (this is a good idea but I don't know anyone from Australia)
National Hairball Awareness Day: 30

I hope this will be a great month for you.

Sorry Ann, but I won't be getting you a gift for this year's National Hairball Awareness Day. It just kind of snuck up on me this year. I hope you're not too disappointed.

That National Hairball Awareness Day takes the cake! These are some strange holidays. I do hope you and your family has a wonderful Easter weekend.
