In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and that calendar week as National Police Week, meaning that National Police Week 2012 is Sunday, May 13th through Saturday, May 19th.
Although I've never been a comic book fan, for some reason, I really enjoy superhero movies. The Avengers has gotten some rave reviews, so I look forward to seeing it sometime in the future.

Since I’m always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes, I’ve started reading cookbooks from the Gooseberry Patch collection. These fun books have a comb binding and are illustrated throughout with pen and ink drawings that give them a charming country feel.

The recipes are collected from cooks across the country and include personal comments and memories from the recipe contributors.

AMC's Mad Men made history last fall as the first basic cable series ever to win the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in four consecutive years.

What a bargain! Where else can you get something these days for a nickel?
With the cost of services and products on the rise, it's nice to know that one cost has remained the same for almost 50 years. How many businesses do you know of that can say that? Of course, I'm referring to the overdue fines at MCPL; only a nickel a day per item.
