To all of my New Zealander (do I still have any of these?) and Australian readers, Happy Anzac Day! I hope you all enjoy the long weekend. 🙂
For those of you who don’t know what Anzac Day is, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Anzac Day is commemorated by Australia and New Zealand on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. Anzac Day is also celebrated in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.
Beginnings of the Memorial Day
Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. The pride they took in that name endures to this day, and Anzac Day remains one of the most important national occasions of both Australia and New Zealand.

And a happy Anzac day to you, too! 😉
Thanks for remembering this special day for us. I like your mouse story, very cute.
Thanks Jenna 🙂 We went away for our long weekend, but sadly, the kids both got sick, so not so enjoyable after all!
Hi Jenna: You ok? It is really cold here. I think I’m getting off the computer and stitching. : ) Sound like fun???
