Well good morning peeps! As I found the lights off and in desperate need for coffee...I decided would open up the cafe....
Here's some coffee and some tea for those in need...
Who Knew Today is
National Drinking Straw Day....
Back in the 1880s, Marvin Stone, a Washington, D.C., resident, was drinking a mint julep with what was then the standard of
straws: a stalk of rye grass. Stone hated the gritty residue the straw left in his drink as it broke down, according to the
Smithsonian Institution’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation. So he made his own
drinking device by wrapping strips of paper around a pencil. After removing the writing implement, he glued the paper
strips together. And thus was born the modern drinking straw.
National Toss the Fruitcake Day
The fruitcakes will fly once again in downtown Manitou Springs! There will be a fruitcake costume competition, libations and
a fruitcake bake-off!
National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day
Chocolate covered cherries were introduced to the world by Cella’s Confections in New York in 1929 and were an immediate
hit, quickly becoming famous the world over.
So now to some random questions... everyone feel free to add/edit etc. etc..
1) If You Had The World’s Attention For 30 Seconds, What Would You Say?
2) What was your favorite toy growing up?
3) If you could shop for free at one store for the rest of your life, which store would you choose?
