   You’re about right there! Back to school does start around the 4th of July. But we don’t put out Christmas stuff until September.

   My store manager wanted us to get our Valentine’s Day candy out a week before Christmas. He finally changed his mind. We won’t be putting out Valentine’s Day stuff until December 26.

   I had a very busy, but very productive day off yesterday. I spent most of the day in the kitchen. I made a chocolate cream pie for our Christmas dinner, plus I baked sugar cookies (a double batch), and chocolate chip cookies (only 2 dozen) and I made fudge and divinity. I also did a load of laundry (it’s still sitting in my dryer waiting for me to fold it and put it away) and I shoveled the 3" or so of snow from my sidewalk and driveway. I hope there wasn’t a lot of snow after I shoveled. The snow had stopped when I went out to shovel, but I never checked to see if it started up again. I’m pretty tired now.

   MUDD DAY. Mudd Day recognizes the birthday of Dr. Samuel Mudd, a man whose name was mud after his dealings with one man. After assassinating Lincoln on April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth rode with co-conspirator David Herold to Dr. Samuel Mudd’s home in the early hours of the 15th before crossing into Virginia. Mudd performed surgery on Booth’s fractured leg and allowed both men to stay the night. At some point, Mudd must have learned of the assassination. However, he did not report Booth’s visit to the authorities for another 24 hours. This delay appeared to link him to the crime, as did his various changes of the story under interrogation. On April 26th, authorities arrested Mudd. A military commission found him guilty of aiding and conspiring in a murder and sentenced Mudd to life imprisonment. He escaped the death penalty by a single vote.President Andrew Johnson pardoned Mudd, and he was released from prison in 1869. Despite repeated attempts by family members and others, Mudd’s conviction has never been overturned, nor has his record been expunged.

   And for me, it’s cookie and candy day! I will be baking my sugar cookies and making fudge and divinity for Christmas. They’re predicting a snowy day, so it will be a good way to spend the day.

    Poor gullible Oliver will believe anything that anyone tells him. Don’t take advice from Chesney, Oliver! Don’t let him lead you astray!
