JANUARY NATIONAL DAYS

January 19

National Popcorn Day - 

As early as the 16th century, the Aztecs used popcorn in headdresses worn during ceremonies honoring Tlaloc, their god of maize and fertility. Early Spanish explorers were fascinated by the corn that burst into what looked like a white flower.

Popcorn started becoming popular in the United States in the middle 1800s. It wasn’t until Charles Cretors, a candy-store owner, developed a machine for popping corn with steam that the tasty treat became more abundantly poppable. 

Get to Know Your Customers Day -
Remember when Main Street businesses were locally owned and operated? The owners knew you by name and knew your shopping habits. Additionally, they typically knew what you wanted to buy. Not surprisingly, they were willing to get it in for you if they didn’t have it.

World Quark Day -
Quark is a European superfood staking its claim on supermarket shelves worldwide. Quark is a delicious high-protein, low-fat alternative to soft cheese and yogurt that can be used for baking, cooking, and blending.

LIVING IN THE CREEK

I take a lot for granted living in the creek. Snow is plowed almost immediately. Trash is picked up on a regular basis, most times. Compared to surrounding communities we are relatively safe and drug free. We have multiple amenities for a community our size. We even have a Police Force that looks out for us. I received a phone call about midnight Monday night reminding me that I had left my garage door open. What a cool place to live where people take the time to look out for one another and check up on each other.
