Daily Holidays - March 5

National Cheese Doodle Day You might think you don’t know what a cheese doodle is, but you have almost certainly seen them around. A cheese doodle is a rather colloquial way of calling those baked cheesy snacks that are sure to leave your fingers bright orange. Sold as crisps, for a bit of cheesiness to your lunch you can’t go far wrong than picking up a packet of these tasty morsels. Just try not to eat too many! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cheese-doodle-day/

National Absinthe Day Celebrated by artists and aristocrats alike for centuries, absinthe has long been the drink of choice for the creative type; also known as The Green Goddess, The Green Lady or The Green Fairy, the drink used to be a favorite among artists and writers due to it supposedly helping their creative flow. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/absinthe-day/

Namesake Day
There are many of us who bear names that come from another, a name that was selected, not by coincidence, but with intent to carry on the honor of that lineage into our own life. There are many a John in the world, but even if you’re one of them you may stand apart from the thousands of others by who you were named after. Are you named after your father John? Or perhaps your parents were true patriots and named you after John Quincy Adams. Namesake Day beseeches you to find out, and celebrate the heritage you carry in your name. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/namesake-day/

I have kind of an ordinary name, but I was named for my two grandmothers who were amazing women!
