Don't Tell The Kids!

      TUESDAY, JULY 7TH

    DON'T TELL THE KIDS!    

    It is probably best that you
keep the information in today's
Blog away from children. It
contains material better left
unknown to kids.
    Today is Chocolate Day!
It is the perfect day, as if you
needed an excuse, to consume
your favorite chocolates!
     Should anyone try to
discourage you from partaking
this delicious treat just tell them
you're merely eating your
vegetables! Chocolate is a vegetable
It comes from the Cacao tree found
in tropical rain forests. How about
that?
     I fully support this "holiday."
In fact, I don't limit my celebration
to July 7th! In my case, though, it's
more of an obligation than a
celebration.
    I try to have a Hershey Bar at
least once a week to help make
sure my friend's pension is
financially sound. He used to
work for the Hershey Company.
I always thought we were lucky
to have the Hershey company right
here in Pennsylvania.
     And we almost didn't! Milton
Hershey, the company founder,
bought a ticket to return to the
U.S. on the Titanic! As it happens
he was called back to Pennsylvania
early and had to take another ship.
    Ironically, his Titanic receipt is
in the form of a Golden Ticket!
How about that Willy Wonka?!
     Remember, don't tell the kids
about the "vegetable part!"
     Hope you'll enjoy the day with
some of your favorite chocolates
and that all your NEWS is good!
