National Blueberry Popsicle Day
Blueberry Popsicles are a delightful summer treat! Popsicles were first invented in 1905 by an eleven year old named Frank Epperson. He first named his creation "Epsicle," but it was changed to Popsicle eighteen years later.
By 1965, 34 different flavors of Popsicles were being produced, including blueberry. To celebrate National Blueberry Popsicle Day, purchase a blueberry Popsicle or make your own to enjoy!
Today is also V-J Day

Quote of the Day:
"Every year I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence which will miss nothing, and which, shirking pain, misses all happiness as well." --Mary Cholomondeley
