Happy February!

Ground Hog Day has always been a favorite of mine.  I guess because it seems to give me a reason to start celebrating my birthday month.  I wonder how many times the movie will be shown in the next 24 hours.

I got curious about some other important happenings in February and I found the following at www.entourages.com/barbs/february.htm

France surrendered Canada to Great Britain by the Treaty of Paris, February 10, 1763.

English essayist and critic Charles Lamb born February 10, 1775.

There are a bunch of other facts, plus she has pages for all twelve months too.

My Google search also turned up http://familycrafts.about.com/library/spdays/blfebdayslong.htm which enlightened me that.....
