GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
The social media calendar has a lot of fun items and events to celebrate. This Saturday, whip up a batch of Baked Alaska (when is the last time you tasted that?), and get ready for Groundhog Day on Sunday while you assemble a DIY tater tot bar for their special day!
Will Punxsutawney Phil make the correct decision? According to folklore, if the groundhog can see his shadow on Groundhog Day, it’s a signal of six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, then an early spring is on the way.
Have a great weekend!
Please take a moment to review a few important updates and reminders.
