From my notebook:

• Today is "National Junk Food Day" and "Take A Monkey To Lunch Day." Sure! Why not! Both of these holidays sound fabulous to me! (Holidays and Observations)
• Berger's cookies are as Maryland as crabs! If you've never had one, then put this on your bucket list! They are a must for every junk food junkie. (Bergers Cookies)
• Kinder Farm doesn't have any monkeys and I doubt they would let you take any of the other animals out for a lunch date, but you could ask! Before asking for a lunch date with a farm animal, I would suggest just looking and admiring these beautiful creatures. Then take a nice walk around the grounds. (Kinder Farm Park)
