September's Interesting Factoids

Short post today...either I'm smarter than I thought (and therefore had less to learn) or I didn't pay very close attention to learning this month! But here are a few tidbits I picked up from Mid-Morning this month.

* At the beginning of the month, we had a show about funeral planning....in which I learned the difference between a cemetery and a memorial park. Cemeteries have tall tombstones, and memorial parks/gardens have flat stones. (Side note...there's a memorial park near the town where I live and the stones there are embedded in the ground so far that I used to think there weren't any at all. I wondered how people knew where to find the graves they were looking for!)

* In random trivia Lynne shared...did you know that Elizabeth Taylor had a double row of eyelashes? Some things just aren't even fair.

* I realize YOU all probably know this, but I didn't. Lynne said grocery stores have a day when stuff gets marked down, so watching for that day can save you some money. (Like when they're ready to restock with fresher stuff...) This is good to know! I love a deal!

That's what I learned in September! I'll strive to be a better student in October. :)

Thank you for being out of the loop with me. I appreciate that.

They are indeed....let's not have any of them soon, okay?
