I should have took a pic of my three bears. There's Baby, he's in his high chair, the Professor he has glasses, and there's Fozzie, named after the bear on the Muppets. Well, we've had a confirmation, a picture, of a black bear in Southern Illinois. That's all I needed another wild animal to be aware of when I'm outside. Now all we need is an alligator to make it complete.

October 11th: International Day of the Girl Child, National Sausage Pizza Day, National Coming Out Day, and General Pulaski Memorial Day.

💁🌎International Day of the Girl Child seeks to bring awareness and solutions to the unique challenges that girls around the world face every day. From the moment a child is born, she can grow up to be a scientist, author, business leader, mother, teacher or anything she may choose to be. Providing her with the healthy options, education, and resources to make her own choices means removing some of the obstacles she faces. Depending on where she lives, a young girl’s challenges will vary and how we approach addressing those issues will change. During International Day of the Girl Child, join the global call to action. Create real solutions; listen to the aspirations of young women; mentor someone who will someday overcome the challenges she faces. In 2011, the United Nations declared October 11 as International Day of the Girl Child. The first observance of the day took place in 2012. Since then, celebrations have taken place around the globe.

🍕National Sausage Pizza Day! This food holiday is a favorite of pizza lovers across the country. In ancient Greece, the Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs, and cheese which some attribute to the beginning of the pizza. In Byzantine Greek, the word was spelled “πίτα”, pita, meaning pie. A sheet of dough topped with cheese and honey, then flavored with bay leaves was developed by the Romans. The modern pizza had its beginning in Italy as the Neapolitan flatbread. The original pizza used only mozzarella cheese, mainly the highest quality buffalo mozzarella variant which was produced in the surroundings of Naples. It was estimated that the annual production of pizza cheese in the United States in 1997 was 2 billion pounds. The first United States pizza establishment opened in 1905 was in New York’s Little Italy. Pizza has become one of America’s favorite meals. Whether your pizza is thin crust, hand tossed, thick crust or deep dish, top it with delicious Italian sausage and celebrate National Sausage Pizza Day.

National Coming Out Day is an observed civil awareness day. This day celebrates individuals who publicly identify as bisexual, gay, lesbian, transgender – coming out regarding their sexual orientation and/or gender identity being akin to a cultural rite of passage for LGBT people. National Coming Out Day was founded in 1988 by New Mexico Psychologist and founder of the personal growth workshop, The Experience, Robert Eichberg and Jean O’ Leary, an openly gay political leader from Los Angeles and then head of the National Gay Rights Advocates. October 11 was chosen as it was the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.

🇵🇱🇺🇸General Pulaski Memorial Day! In honor of General Kazimierz Pulaski (spelled Casimir Pulaski in English), a Polish hero of the American Revolution, October 11 is set aside as General Pulaski Memorial Day, a United States observation. This observance is held each year by Presidential Proclamation to commemorate his death from wounds suffered at the Siege of Savannah on October 9, 1779, and to honor the heritage of Polish Americans. The observance was established in 1929 when Congress passed a resolution designating October 11 as General Pulaski Memorial Day. (Public Resolution 16 of 1929) A Presidential Proclamation has been issued each year since (except 1930).

A day decaded just for girls. Some girls need to be recognized for the trials they have come through to get where they are. Go girl power! Another food I love sausage pizza🍕. Okay any kind of pizza🍕 is my favorite, except anchovies, I don't want little fishy on my pizza🍕. All individuals should have the same rights. I have never heard of General Pulaski. And I'm still not clear on what part he played in the American Revolution. I need to look👀 further into what his part was.

Sending sausage pizza🍕 with extra cheese🧀 hugs!🐶🐶🎃👻💕🍂💕
