"On November 18th, Mickey Mouse Birthday commemorates the debut of a lovable mouse that was once a rabbit called Oswald. His character got his start on film on November 18, 1928, but before that, the story begins in 1927, when Walt Disney first sketched a floppy-eared bunny while under contract to Universal Studios. The events that unraveled brought us Mickey Mouse."
My notes: Anybody been to Disneyland? I never cared to go.

Nice. Had no idea that Mickey's Birthday was on Nov. 18th.
Have been to Disneyland many times, although I've been less enthusiastic about it as an adult.

"National Rural Health Day focuses on the medical resources rural communities offer and how it impacts small towns and their citizens. The third Thursday in November each year highlights the varied opportunities rural health offers and the benefits it brings to these modest hubs of economic vitality in the heartland. Around the nation, over 60 million Americans live and work in rural communities. In these thriving centers of industry, health clinics and hospitals provide much-needed care to a varied population.
Healthcare improves not only the life of the citizens but the livelihood, too. Increased economic opportunities are just one of the many reasons for maintaining healthcare close to small towns. Emergent care and urgent care increase the timely treatment of critical ailments and injuries. When nursing care is available, grandparents remain near their familiar settings. Primary care provides a remedy for chronic and routine conditions. Other facilities that may be available in some small communities include dental, chiropractic and vision care. Altogether, these facilities keep a community running smoothly and healthily. It’s something to celebrate!"
My notes: Most of us who live rural tho also believe in preventative care. We don't go to the doctor for a papercut. lol

We take care of ourselves. I don’t go to the doctor or hospital unless it’s something serious.

"November 18th recognizes a cold soup that is loved by many. It is National Vichyssoise Day. Made thick with pureed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream and chicken stock, Vichyssoise is traditionally served cold though sometimes is eaten hot.
In the United States, Vichyssoise is pronounced: vish – e – swaz.
Culinary historians debate the origin of Vichyssoise. However, the man most credited with the reinvention of the soup is French chef Louis Diat. Back in 1950, New Yorker Magazine interviewed Diat, who was the chef at the Ritz Carlton in New York City; he told them: “In the summer of 1917, when I had been at the Ritz seven years, I reflected upon the potato and leek soup of my childhood which my mother and grandmother used to make. I recalled how during the summer my older brother and I used to cool it off by pouring in cold milk and how delicious it was. I resolved to make something of the sort for the patrons of the Ritz.”
Recipes have been found for soup very similar to Vichyssoise but served hot dating back as far as 1869.
My notes: I have never had this type of soup. Have you?

"Celebrate the Princess in every girl by taking part in National Princess Day on November 18th! Perhaps you know a Princess who shines because of her gift of laughter, making everyone around them smile. Maybe your Princess shows her royal nature by her great acts of kindness and heart of gold. Or your Princess may be bold and confident, ready to take on every new challenge!" My notes: A cute day for little girls to play dress up.
