Does that "national" refer only to the U.S., or do some or many sellers of doughnuts in Canada share freely in the celebration, as well?

How about Timmy's?

I figured it was... based on the line going into Krispy Kreme (I don't eat them, but there were a lot folks of the mind to get their donuts today!)!!! I had to go down two extra blocks to turn into work.

The Amish bakery on the outskirts of town is giving away free donuts today. Somehow I got on their mailing list and they sent me an email yesterday! Yep, Amish do computers now.

What did you do on National Quilting Day? (March 17, 2012)
Q
Comments (19)
I actually celebrated National Quilting Day a few days early with my Mom. The Southport Quilters Guild held their Annual Quilt Show at the Kenosha Public Museum (on the shore of Lake Michigan.) I knew it would be crowded on Sat., the 17, and it would be very hard for my 89-yr-old Mom to get around with all those people there, listening to speakers and such. So we went last Tuesday, the 13th, in the early afternoon, and she was able to use one of the museum's wheelchairs to get around. Very few people were in the quilt display area, so we had a wonderful time gazing at all the beautiful quiltwork. "Stars" was the theme of the show. I was inspired by the high quality hand and machine piecing and quilting. My Mom was intensely interested in the small "challenge" quilts displayed on one wall. The challenge was to design a small wall hanging (less than 24" x 24") using a color pallet of three shades/tints of a color plus only one other color. My Mom, being an artist herself, was intrigued with the creative landscapes/seascapes and tiny intricate designs of the quilters. After seeing the show, I decided to add something else to my "To Do" list...learn to make Prairie Points! Julie

A very late comment here but... I'm back at my yard/garden and I have more weeds than I can possibly appreciate. Anyone feel a need for some? I'll surely share. The only one on the list that I can't find so far is purselane. I'm sure there is some here. I just have not started working in the right area yet.

Today is National Pet day !!

What would a home be without a pet?? I can't imagine ever not having a cat in my life. Cats and boxes are automatic magnets. Any box, any size. I was taking computer paper out of this box, and as soon as she was able, Roxie got in it. The late Smudge loved boxes too, especially ones that were too small for him! And Bud clamored into this huge box

Annette, you must be the one who turned me on to Liberty puzzles. I gifted myself a 496 piece one for Christmas. Also gifted Daughter with one so we can pass them back and forth. I am working on mine now and loving it, each and every piece! Just so you all know, Readers Digest now has a couple pages of mind bending puzzles in each issue. Very entertaining.

It took some will power to resist. They had to boxes sitting at the end of the check-out. Had it only been one donut my will power would have been a lot weaker but a box of six? So, no donut for me. :((((

I live a few blocks from Randy's Donuts, but I almost never go there
I do like their apple fritters, however, but none of this is on my diet.

I don't get enticed by free stuff. I won't waste my time in line for it and I don't suddenly need or want something just because it's free. I took the grand kids out on Thursday for donuts. I bought one donut for each of us. That took care of any donut fix I may need. Mine was a maple bar. I saw the sign advertising the free donuts for the next day and let out a sigh of relief I came a day before the OMG! A FREE DONUT people came in.

We have several privately owned donut shops, with long lines to get in and chubby folks sitting @ tables with a whole box of 6 to themselves. :0) I still like the apple fritters @ Safeway best, .64cents.....almost free every day! lol

I see Krispie Kreme met their goal of giving away a million donuts yesterday. Me, DH, and my Dad helped! :-)

Our backup plan in case KK was too crowded was to buy donuts at a much smaller local donut shop. But it wasn't too bad mid-morning when we got there. We waited in line maybe five minutes. It was fun seeing excited little kids watching the donuts float down the line. Most people bought a drink or extra donuts, but we didn't. My dad was raised during the Great Depression, and "free" will always equal "good value" to him.

edited to add: this is the first time I realized that "National Donut Day" is an annual event -- who knew, LOL?

DH bought, at Safeway yesterday, a jelly donut for me and cream filled chocolate covered ones for DS and himself. Still haven't eaten mine. Maybe later with another cup of coffee.
