Oh My Yes !! Both Patti and I love Pretzels.
Thanks NATIONAL TODAY ..
National Pretzel Day is celebrated on April the 26th.
Pretzels, got their start in the Catholic Church.
Sometime around the 7th Century A.D., monks presented their students with treats of baked dough twisted in the shape of crossed arms. At the time, crossing one’s arms was the traditional posture for prayer. Not only that, but pretzels, made from water, flour and salt, were also the perfect food for Lent, when meat, dairy and eggs were prohibited. So there you have some National Pretzel Day history with a twist!
Our one, and our only source of Pretzels, is Snyder’s of Hanover, Pennsylvania !! I particularly favor the long Pretzel Sticks.
Patti and I have actually visited their factory in Hanover, PA.
Pennsylvanians eat more pretzels per capita than any other state in the United States.

JASON..
Whoa !!
Why did we select this NATIONAL TODAY Holiday??
Patti’s niece has a sweetheart of many years named Jason.
National Jason Day is celebrated on April 26th.
Jason is a common first name in most English-speaking countries. The name is borrowed from the Greek ‘Iásōn,’ which means ‘healer.’ There are more than 900,000 people named Jason in the U.S. alone, and over 70,000 of them are located in California. It has been a favorite boy’s name since its appearance in Greek mythology and later in Christian theology.
Here you go.. There is a lot to read about Jason..
