Cache A Day – March 7th
March 7th is the 66th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 299 days remaining until the end of the year.
The entire month of March is Maple Sugar Month, Mental Retardation Awareness Month, National Athletic Training Month, and National Baby Month (with TWO new grandkids entering the family LAST month, I would have thought that February should have been Baby Month).
Today is National Be Heard Day, National Learn What Your Name Means Day, National Stop Bad Service Day (it’s actually a two day holiday if you have been keeping track), and National Monopoly Day(the game) Day.
