Interesting about Hawaii ....

 

 

The state of Hawaii consists of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and the Big Island of Hawaii.

 

 

Hawaii is the only state that grows coffee.

 

More than one-third of the world’s commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawaii.

 

Under-sea volcanoes that erupted thousands of years ago formed the islands of Hawaii.

 

Hawaii was the 50th state admitted to the union on August 20th, 1959.

 

Hawaii has its own time zone (Hawaiian Standard Time.) There is no daylight savings time.) The time runs two hours behind Pacific Standard Time and five hours behind Eastern Standard Time.

 

The wind blows east to west in Hawaii. The highest recorded temperature is 96′ F (Honolulu Airport), but temperatures over 92′ F generally occur only once or twice a year. The lowest temperature (under 3000 feet altitude) is 56′ F. Temperatures under 60′ F may occur but rarely more than once a year. Average daytime temp. (July) is 82′ F. Average daytime temperature in January is 72′ F.

 

ISLAND OF NIIHAU A privately owned island, with livestock raising as its principal industry. There is highly limited access by general public through helicopter landings at uninhabited sites. Legend says Niihau was the original home of the goddess Pele. The island has a population of 230, and is 69 square miles

 

THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII The Big Island is Hawaii’s largest at 4,038 square miles. It is twice the size of all other Hawaiian Islands combined.

 

 

The island houses the world’s biggest telescope and more scientific observatories in one place than anywhere else in the world.

 

The island is the worldwide leader in harvesting macadamia nuts and orchids.

Here's an easy way to make a classic breakfast "sandwich." Our Breakfast Pita Pockets are stuffed with two breakfast favorites: cheesy scrambled eggs and bacon! Everyone in your family is going to love these!

 

• 8 slices bacon
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 (6-inch) pita breads, cut in half and warmed

 

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon for 6 to 8 minutes or until crispy; drain on paper towel and cut each slice in half.
2. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, water, salt and pepper; mix well. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add egg mixture and scramble until firm. Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle cheese over eggs.
3. Spoon eggs equally into each pita. Place four pieces of bacon into each pita. Serve immediately.

Wife Appreciation Day on the third Sunday in September provides an opportunity for spouses to show appreciation to their wives.  

The relationship between a husband and a wife takes balance. Every day, spouses do things for each other, sometimes without thinking. Other times, work and responsibilities get in the way. This observance offers a way to remind husbands to show a little appreciation to their wives. 

This particular observance sets aside time for couples who have no children. Not every woman is a mother, either by chance or choice. Since so many holidays celebrate families with children, this day offers a day for those who remained childless.

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Couples may choose to celebrate the day traditionally with a gift of flowers, perfume, jewelry or clothing. However, other options include a day at a spa, tickets to a show or dinner at a nice restaurant.  A foot massage and cooking breakfast or dinner at home can also say, “Thank you for all the things you do every day. I appreciate them.” 

NATIONAL WIFE APPRECIATION DAY HISTORY

While National Day Calendar research did not uncover the source of the day, we did identify the underlying meaning of Wife Appreciation Day. Even though it honored married women, the focus on honoring those who didn’t have children. The day makes up for Mother’s Day when there are no children in the marriage.
