Quote
"Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself."

How have you been beating the heat?
Hot! Hot! Hot!
We are in the middle of summer in all her glory!
It's hot outside!
What do you do to stay cool?
Swim, sunbathe, visit the Arctic?
Remember when you were a kid, the sun didn't seem to bother us so much. We were glad to be outside and not in school.
Write a story about -
a favorite summer memory from childhood.
your favorite way to stay cool
your favorite summer food
Just because it's hot doesn't mean you can't write!
Bring your story to Ada Writers this Saturday!
National Black Cow Float Day
National Black Cow Rootbeer Float Day
August 19
Yes Folks, today is National Black Cow Rootbeer Float Day!
For those of you who don't know what a 'Black Cow' is, simply put, it is a rootbeer float. Invented Aug 19, 1893. It seems there are many variations of this beverage. I'm going to give you a few -
Black Cow Rootbeer Float
In a tall class -
Place 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce
Pour 10 oz. rootbeer over top.
Serve with a straw.
Pretty simple.
Some variations include using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla with fudge sauce.
A brown cow uses Coke instead of Rootbeer.
A spotted cow uses chocolate-chip ice cream
Whatever your preference - have one today!
“Try a Real Black Cow—It’s Moovelous!” (1950s slogan for Hires Root Beer)
