Today is Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. The idea doesn't appeal to me but I'll tell you a bit about it anyway. It was created in the 1960s by housewife Florence Rappaport from New York. An enormous blizzard hit that year in the New York area and Florence’s 6 children were exceptionally bored one cold and snowy February morning and Florence needed to come up with something to entertain them so when they announced that it was too cold to do anything she responded "Let’s have ice cream for breakfast."
The children obviously enjoyed the idea and reminded her of it the following year so they celebrated again and the day became a tradition in their family from then on.
The idea caught on and is now celebrated all over the world, so there you have it.
And finally it is Thank a Mail Carrier Day. I used to have a super nice mailman here and I would have thanked him with cookies but sadly, he retired. He just loved the dipped cookies I make at Christmas time.
Love this post! I don’t think I could do ice cream for breakfast either! Love the card! Paula
