National Days/Weeks #12

Last week's photos:
May 24 - Scavenger Hunt Day
May 25 - Towel Day

Each week on Monday I'll post two photos which represent a "national day" or "national week" for the coming week [through the following Sunday].  Your job is to figure out which national day or week is depicted in each photo.  

Here are the photos for this week.  What national day or week does each represent?  Even if you aren't 100% sure, make your best guess!  Come back next week to see if you're right.

A-to-Z Blogging Challenge 2022 Reflections

 

Another April has come and gone.  Another A-to-Z Blogging Challenge completed!

I enjoy re-visiting the events of previous years for my theme.  I started doing this last year and continued this year.  I might even do it next year too.

My most-visited post this month was 

D - Derek Chauvin found guilty of murder

I wrote four letters for the Operation Awesome blog, which featured "Fiction to Film" this year.

K - How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss [the K is for Boris Karloff who voiced the Grinch]

V - One for the Money by Janet EVanoVich

X - Murder on the Orient EXpress by Agatha Christie

Y - The Martian by AndY Weir

I write for the Operation Awesome blog most Mondays.  Come by and visit!

Every year for the A-to-Z Blogging Challenge, I intend to pre-write my posts so I can spend time visiting other blogs, and every year I fail miserably! But I'll set the same goal for 2023 - pre-write my posts and spend more time visiting other blogs.  Wish me luck!

Did you participate in the Challenge this year?  Post your site in the comments and I'll visit you!
