Hello! It's Blue Monday! For those of us who ❤ blue, it's a holiday! It's also President's Day--doubling the celebration!
For instructions, please click here.
Please notice the Blue Monday Code on my sidebar. Feel free to put it directly onto your Blue Monday post.
Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links and wishing them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Look at this beautiful
blue sky over Mount Rushmore, where four Presidents are memorialized. I copied this from the internet, and I seriously doubt that the sky is so intense.
Presidents Day is celebrated on the third Monday in February.
At the beginning, the holiday was implemented to honor George Washington. It was celebrated on February 22, which actually is Washington's birthday. Later on, many states connected it to Lincoln's birthday (February 12) even though Lincoln's birthday was never a federal holiday.
Nowadays President's Day is said to commemorate all US Presidents.
☆ ☆ ☆I found a
blue example of a sign businesses can buy and display. All federal buildings are closed.
However, many sales are going on.
Are you going shopping?
Will you be buying something blue?$ $ $Happy Blue Monday!1. mizhelle

Sally, I enjoyed your post. My brother, George, named for an uncle, not the President, was also born on February 22, so this is a special date for me. No blue in my post today, only cherries. ;-)
Hope to see you. ~ Sarah
Wow, haven't heard of your President's Day.
Have a Happy Holiday, and Happy Blue Monday.
Love,
Jan
Interesting, I've never heard of President's Day - I wonder what the president himself is doing on his day?
Happy Blue Monday!
Anni: Maybe eating chocolate:-)
(Anni is a chocoholic and so am
I:-))
Happy Blue Monday to you Sally and all your readers.
Happy Day to all our presidents and Happy Blue Monday to you, Sally!...Christine

Woof Sally!
I always try to post something blue but never got to link except now. Now that what you call a blue dog!
We never celebrate bdays of our President here. Now if he promised to give treats to all animals, I probably would. ;-)

Happy Blue Monday and Happy President's Day, dear Sally.
Mount Rushmore is an amazing site, and those blue skies are always welcome.
I wish I was off of work today.
Oh Sally, I'm not going out shopping today! We had like 2 feet of snow last night..
I'm blue because now I have to shovel the snow!
Morning girl...Happy Blue Monday to you! When Oldest Burly took a rode trip to Montana he stopped in several states along the way and would call me and tell me what he was seeing...he called one morning and said "Mom!!! I am standing in front of the mountain that has the presidents' faces on it!" Of course that didn't excite him as much as the day he called standing on the open range looking at a herd of BUFFALO!!! Ahhhh you gotta love a Burly Man!!! lol lol Have a great day girl! Picket
Hi Sally, This is the first time I'm joining this party and while I was not prepared for a fresh blue, I dug into the blue cabinet and pulled out the Neti Pot post because it's blue! Next week, I'll post a brand new blue! Have a great week!

love that blue sky and am showing one of my own. :)
Good morning Sally, your comment on PS sure made me smile. I am feeling great, but looking good is a different story. It takes a while.
Love your president post today. Your post reminded me to include President's day. Thank you so much for your prayers my dear friend. I needed them,
Have a wonderful day. I am sooo happy to be visiting again.
Love, Jeanne
Hail to our Presidents past, present, and future!
And...HAPPY BLUE MONDAY!

Happy President's Day!
Hi Sally and the rest of the party!
This is the first time that I am participating and hope that my pose will be enjoyable to all.
(Somehow, when I clicked "enter" the first time, it didn't disappear. Clicked again, and it put me twice!(#52, #53)Still can't figure this techno-stuff out!)
Nice President's Day tribute.
Hi Sallie,
Well, Happy President's Day too! No, I'm not going shopping. I may be interviewed by the local paper today about my blog though. We'll see.
Have a wonderful Blue Monday, and thank you for hostessing this fun event for us each week.
Kathy
Morning Sally. Loved your blues today but because our country is "Blue" right now Don & I will be hanging onto the few bucks we have left...lol...no shopping for us.
yes lovely sky indeed! thanks for the comment dear, btw the headache doesn't stay it is just when the toothbrush is in your mouth!haha..cheers!
What a great shot for Presidents' Day! Those are four presidents I don't mind commemorating - not so sure about some of the others! I sort of liked it back when George and Abe had their own individual special days.
Happy Blue Monday and have a wonderful week.
I kind of liked it better when we celebrated Lincoln's and Washington;s birthdays, but I guess we should honor all the presidents for their service. It's not a job I would want! Although I don't know how having sales does honors them.:-) I'd shop if there was something I needed that was a good price, but I don't know of anything on a special sale today that I want.
Hoping to visit Mt. Rushmore, later this year. Happy President's Day and Happy Blue Monday!
I just popped in to say hello. I love the photos you selected to share with us today. I hope all is well. Blessings...Mary
This holiday, to me, is just another day without mail. I will not be shopping, but working in my yard while the winter is nicer. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Thanks for the history of President's day. Hope you get to hit some of those sales today. Going to be nasty here so I beleive I will just stay in!!! ~~Sherry~~
Hi Sally! Thanks for the President's day info. I'm not going shopping today but will go to lunch and a movie with my neighbor...
Have a great week.

Hope you are enjoying the holiday, shopping or just chilling out, as the kids say. Thanks for hosting a great meme. Have you ever considered the little thumbnail linky things? It encourages visiting and looks so cool! Thanks again, Sara
Wow...this happened by chance. I have a blue college on my blog today and then found this lovely party. I linked up.

Blessings to you and yours.
Until next time
Happy Trails
Happy President's Day, Sally! Abby was supposed to have the day off from school, but because of all the snow we got in early January, they're using it to make up for days lost. She's so bummed!
I loved visiting Mount Rushmore, it was really a bright intense blue sky... I usually relax on Presidents day and try to avoid the sales..lol..always spend too much and buy things I don't need.
Happy Presidents Day to you.
I thought today, the husband dont have to go to work, n0pe no holiday here. Happy President's day Ms. Sally
We celebrate the Queen's birthday here in NZ. And it's not even close to her real birth date!
Happy President's Day and Happy Blue Monday today!
Gosh, guess I missed all the sales today. Oh well I don't really need anything.
Hope YOU ENJOYED your Blue day and President's Day!

Happy Blue Monday a tad late Sally :) I've been down with migraines a lot the past week so I seem to be running a day late on everything!

Hi Sally! Nice snap and I would surely like to see this historic spot in person! Hope you're doing well and I always love it when you pop in!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Did I miss this week? Not that I am that consistent, lol. All depends on what assignments I have and if I have the brains to be creative, so remember it is not about me not liking your meme okay?
