Although there are several of Grandma Moses paintings I liked, A Beautiful Thanksgin is my pick.

September 8th: National Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology Nurses Day and National Ampersand Day.

National Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses Day coincides with Childhood Cancer Awareness month and honors those nurses who are dedicated to providing quality nursing care for children, adolescents and young adults with cancer and blood disorders. Additionally, they provide the highest standard of physical and emotional support to these most precious patients and their families. The Association of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses (APHON) is credited with founding this National Day.

National Ampersand Day! From jotting a shorthand “and” to branding corporate names, this curly, quirky little character is ubiquitously useful. It’s also quite aesthetic, as you’ll see at AmperArt.com, featuring “the ampersand as fun & fabulous art." The ampersand used to be the last letter of the alphabet. And is a ligature of “e” & “t”. That’s “et” in Latin, meaning “and.” The word “ampersand” is a slurring of “real words” run together over time. The plus sign is actually an ampersand. Discover more interesting facts about the ampersand — including details on those you just read — & see “the ampersand as fun & fabulous art” at AmperArt.com. National Ampersand Day was founded by designer & typographer Chaz DeSimone in 2015. His monthly design project, AmperArt, features “the ampersand as fun & fabulous art.”

No food for today. Sending curly letter hugs & a tummy tickle for Bixby.🐶💕🌷💕🍂
