As you already know, ...Thank you for posting this!<br /><br />As you already know, most folks are unaware that yesterday was George Washington's birthday.<br /><br />Also, I had never seen that painting of Washington and Lafayette at Valley Forge, so I used Google to find my own copy.<br /><br />When I went to the local VA clinic for my scheduled health checkup, I reminded the staff that it was George Washington's birthday, and that it was traditional to celebrate by indulging in cherry pie.<br /><br />Last night, at my Family Home Evening group's meeting, I reminded everyone that it was George Washington's birthday, and then I surprised everyone by giving each person an individual sized cherry pie.<br /><br />Those pies were on sale at Wal-Mart for eighty-eight cents ($00.88) each, so I bought a couple dozen (24), which was more than enough to distribute.<br /><br />For myself, I bought cherry chocolate chip ice cream, a regular sized cherry pie, and some whipped cream to put on top of the pie.<br /><br />So, that was MY celebration.<br /><br />I remember that when I was kid, oh, so LONG ago, that our school cafeteria always served cherry pie on George Washington's birthday.<br /><br />But, today - - - ?John Robert Mallernee, KB3KWS, in Vernal, Utahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663667887010646435noreply@blogger.com
