Some facts about National Kathy Day:
- The "holiday" was established in 2010 to honor everyone named Kathy.
- Kathy is derived from the Greek katharos, meaning "pure,". It can be a stand-alone name, or a a diminutive of Katherine or Kathleen.
- According to the site Behind the Name, after World War II the name Kathy started increasing in popularity in the United States. Its apex was 1958 (the year before I was born), so the vast majority of people that share my name are approximately the same age as me.
- Similar celebrations include National Catherine Day on Jan 13th and National Kathryn Day on July 8th.
To celebrate my day Hubby Tony and I had adult beverages with dinner, something that rarely happens during the week. For dessert he went into the freezer and pulled out pound cake left over from his recent poker hosting. There was nothing to top it with so we went to the grocery store, where the ice cream department had plenty of options. I decided on black cherry.
