Hello.
Welcome to your weekend. We’re glad you are here.
As we somehow find ourselves landing on the last day of September 2023 (what?!) it’s a reminder of how fast the weeks can slip by when we are busy with “life.” That’s why we like to take a little time on Saturday morning to slow down with a “scroll down memory lane.”
This is just a simple look back at events that happened on this day in history before you head out to make new history today. So, grab your favorite sippin’ drink and let’s scroll!
Today is Saturday, September 30th, the 273rd day of the year.
