Birthdays For July 9th + Sugar Cookie Day

If this is your birthday, congratulations! You are celebrating along with country music artist, David Ball, born in Rock Hill, South Carolina, in 1953. He scores one of 1994's biggest hits with his semi-novelty "Thinkin' Problem," returning to hitmaker status in 2001 with "Riding With Private Malone".

This Is National Sugar Cookie Day!

Today, you can satisfy your sweet tooth. Be sure to have plenty on hand, because they don't last long around the home or office.

Almost everyone has had them. Some people are hooked on them. Set out a plate of sugar cookies, and you can be certain they won't be there for long.

Sugar cookies are right up there with chocolate chip cookies as America's favorite cookie.

Now Let's P-A-R-T-Y!
