UNCLE TOMS?
This unusual "holiday" is
"Log Cabin Day!" It is observed
annually on the last Sunday in June.
The day was created by the Log
Cabin Society in conjunction with
the Big Ax Society to preserve
log cabins where they still exist
and celebrate their contribution to
the growth and history of our country.
My great Uncle Charley (my Mom's
uncle) built his own log cabin at the
site of his gold mine in Alaska. I
still have and treasure a photo of
him standing in front of it. Most
Americans know that Abe Lincoln
was born in a log cabin. I've never
had one although a couple of the
travel trailers I had years ago
weren't much bigger that the
typical log structure. I did,
however, enjoy the delicious
ingredients I used to pour from
the tin container that looked like,
and was called Log Cabin Syrup!!
The syrup is still around but the
cabin shaped tin is long gone.
Hope you've got some of that
to celebrate the day, and that
all your NEWS is good!
