Today is National Cherry Pie Day. Although Blueberry Crumb is my all-time favorite, Cherry would be number two. Fruit
pies or tarts (pasties) were most likely first made in the 1500s. Some credit the first cherry pie to Queen Elizabeth I and was first brought to America with the English settlers. According to the American Pie Council, the early colonists cooked pies long narrow pans calling them coffins like the crust in England.

Today is Presidents Day. I noted in checking through my past posts that my assigned date last year fell also on Presidents Day. In 2020, I wrote about presidential trivia. So rather than repeat, I’ll mention it briefly and move on. The federal holiday began as a commemoration of George Washington’s birthday, February 22, but now we celebrate on the third Monday in the month. The holiday takes place during the birth month of the country’s two most prominent presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and honors both, as well as other presidents. The holiday now never lands on a single president’s birthday.
