Daily Holidays - December 9

National Pastry Day

Dessert season is well underway and, not that anyone needs a good reason to indulge, the timing is perfect to partake in National Pastry Day on Tuesday, Dec. 9. http://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/dining/2014/12/04/national-pastry-day-east-valley-bake-shops/19886763/

International Anti-corruption Day “To dismantle corruption’s high walls, I urge every nation to ratify and implement the UN Convention against Corruption. Its ground breaking measures in the areas of prevention, criminalization, international cooperation and asset recovery have made important inroads, but there is much more to do.”

— Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

It's been raining all day. The temperature has been hovering between 30 and 36. We stayed home. I know the roads were icy earlier because Pia was slipping around when I let her out around 8AM.
