22-7-39
There's some days in the year supposed to be lucky & more days are unlucky.
Friday is a very lucky day to visit any person's house they are supposed to have a great supper that night, & Monday is lucky also to visit.
If it rained on Friday, it is sure to rain until Sunday because you could not go to any games or sports.
There's an old name for the coldest days in the year called "Skinning the calf" from Christmas Day to the end of February.
