DO-NUT MISS THIS DAY!
This is "Fasnacht Day! I was telling my
grandson Anthony about this unique
"holiday" and its history. He did a double
take at the word "Fasnacht" having never
heard it before in all of his 7 long years.
I explained its German origin and how the
Pennsylvania Dutch brought the tradition
here to the United States.The Germans
liked to enjoy delicious pastries the day
before Ash Wednesday when Lent begins.
A lot of people will be shopping for
Fasnachts today! I asked Anthony if he
might like one. But he said .."No. I'd
rather have a donut!" Now I've got to
explain what "A rose by any other name"
means. Hope you enjoy your Fasnacht
today and that all your NEWS is good!
