Here is what I learned from my daughters agenda today’s about popsicles. They where accidental invented in 1905 by an 11 year old boy by the name of Frank Epperson. Frank at that time mixed sugar, soda powder, with water and left it out one cold night. He woke in the morning to a tasty treat stuck to its wooden stirrer. Woo boo to the creature of popsicles it’s a good little treat for the summer months.

More than the flavor, it was the color that attracted me as a kid

Popsicles were invented the year my dad was born in Latvia. I love Popsicles in all kinds of flavors in the summer but I still love Italian ices better.
