Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Sundae-Day


The summer was jam packed with holidays celebrating ice cream but who says that delicious treat is just for the summer time? I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream any time! It is not just the season that is the reason to indulge in a cup, bowl, cone or boat (banana boat, that is) of ice cream. It can be fruity, chocolaty, salty, sweet, need I say more... yum-m-m. The indulgence of ice cream is a weak spot... light, creamy, sweet, refreshing, simply put, it is a feel-good food. But wait! The celebration about to be does not limit itself just to ice cream. Read on...you just might be surprised and pick up some neat ideas for your next party or family gathering.

November 11 is...

National Sundae Day

When you hear or see the word sundae, the first natural reaction is thoughts of ice cream. So, we will move forward along that line, then, shift gears before setting our sights toward the next celebration.
Two cities lay claim to the ice cream sundae with yet a different city claiming to have originated the name or phrase, ice cream sundae. One story dates back to 1881 - Two Rivers, Wisconsin, the other 1892 - Ithaca, New York, with the phrase being attributed to late-1800s - Evanston, Illinois.

Hundreds of different variations of the original ice cream sundae exist, all with different ice cream flavors, toppings and surprises in between. On National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, the most expensive sundae was exposed. Did you miss it? Click the link. The price is outrageous to say the least!

To celebrate National Sundae Day, throw an ice cream sundae party for you and your friends. Get a few gallons of your favorite ice cream flavors and a large selection of toppings, then, ENJOY! Need some ideas...
