National Ice Cream Day celebrated by Paprika the cat

Its the 3rd Sunday in July and it is now!  Peaches my stuck up sister had her own Peach Ice Cream celebration this week and now it's MY turn! But my crafty human says I can have ONE LICK ONLY and SHE gets all the rest! How unfair is THAT?  

About National Ice Cream Day:  In the old days before refrigeration was common ice cream was a treat reserved only for the rich & royalty,  served on holidays only. (There is some difference of opinion as to whether ice cream originated in ancient China or whether the Romans, who used honey in the mix were responsible for this holiday. We all know how to enjoy it, though, all year around, ESPECIALLY in July, which is ALSO National Ice Cream MONTH!  You can read more about this holiday here!

We're joining Cat On My Head for a their Sunday blog hop today1

  3. Every day should be ice cream day!
    I remember my mum getting a block from the ice cream man wrapped in brown paper to stop it thawing so quickly, then she put it on the cold slate floor in the larder. I think that is why I still prefer my ice cream very soft!
