TODAY’S FACTOID: As mentioned above, it’s Shrove Tuesday also known as pancake day.  Shrove Tuesday is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday and is the final day before the start of Lent, a Christian festival leading up to Easter. Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that aren’t allowed in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.

Happy Friday to you.  The first long weekend of the year has arrived.  We will be closed on Monday to enjoy the family day weekend. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!!!

Welcome back folks. No pressure, but there is one shopping day left before Valentines Day.  Are you ready?  What will you be doing or buying your amore this year?
