Oct. 8 American Touch Tag Day
Touch Tag is considered a playground game. One player is “it” and chases the other players, attempting to touch or tag them. Once someone new is tagged, that person becomes “it.” There are many variations of the game. The once popular game has suffered a bit in the past few years. Some adults feel that there is a strong chance of injury and have banned it from some school playgrounds.

Angel Food Cake is light and airy. It is so different from other cakes. It is often paired 7-minute frosting or fresh whipped cream and seasonal berries. Soooooo Good! My Grandma Alice is the best when it came to baking this cake and I have many memories of tip-toeing around the house so the cake would not fall. It was such a treat.
