OCTOBER 5, 2013 - NATIONAL DO SOMETHING NICE DAY - NATIONAL APPLE BETTY DAY



Each year on October 5 people across the nation celebrate National Do Something Nice Day.
National Do Something Nice Day is very similar to National Random Acts of Kindness Day, which is celebrated on February 17.
It would be ideal if everyone lived their lives doing something nice, or doing nice things, on a daily basis and without thinking about it.  Today serves as a reminder to us all, as it is easy to get caught up with hectic schedules and fast paced lifestyles, to stop for a moment and do something nice.
The “something” can be “anything” from buying a cup of coffee for someone in line at the coffee shop or giving a compliment to the tired clerk to sending flowers with a card that says “just because,” asking the neighbors over for a barbecue in your backyard, or mowing their lawn for them and etc.
“Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out”
                                                                                                                                                      Frank A. Clark

Today as you do something nice for someone you know or a stranger you meet on the street, tell them, Happy National Do Something Nice Day and they may just pass it on, imagine then what a great day in the country it will be!

 
 
 
NATIONAL APPLE BETTY DAY

Surprise your family today with an old-time favorite Apple Betty dessert as you celebrate National Apple Betty Day.  This American food holiday is celebrated each year on October 5.

Similar to what is known as apple crisp, crumble or cobbler, the American variant known as the Betty or Brown Betty dates from colonial times.  Apple Betty (sometimes called Apple Brown Betty) is made with crumbs, apples, cinnamon, sugar and sometimes other ingredients.
  • Apple Brown Betty was one of the favorite desserts of Ronald and Nancy Reagan in the White House.

Have a great National Apple Betty Day !
