On This Day

April 5, 2025

On this day, a nineteenth birthday was celebrated by seeing the ship her ballerina grandmother took to America.  A husband adjusted his wife’s hearing aid. Writers talked about hooks, plot twists, and keeping the reader hungry

An ice cream shop opened, and America the Beautiful was played at the end of a protest. Auburn fans watched the game at an Irish pub. High school students in prom dresses and tuxes took pictures on Palafox Street. Jokes were told about pioneers in covered wagons, recruiting folks to come to the Catholic Church, and being from the Midwest where it’s flat and fine.

A photographer said, “When we fight the same fight we’ve a chance,” and “If you travel in the same circle eventually you’ll run into each other.”

All on this day.
