When you consider the life span of the Church, under the direction of the First Pope, Peter, appointed by Christ, we’ve been here a very long time. From that perspective, a Devotional Feast Day proclaiming Mary, Mother of the Church is very new indeed, having been established in 2018.

Do you know the origins of Pentecost? For Catholics, it signals the end of the Easter Season. But did you know Pentecost is very much rooted in Judaism?

There are a lot of things going on today on the National Front. It’s No Dirty Dishes Day and Armed Forces Day. We’ve celebrated both in the past. Since I’ve been more focused on the Church as of late, I thought it would be nice to talk about a man I truly admire. Today is his birthday.

May 17th. May 17th. The date just keeps turning over and over again in my mind. May is nearly behind us. How is that possible? We just got home from the cruse in March. How can it be May already? Wow.
Continue reading “When I think of Idaho”The Way of Saint James
It seems fitting that the Way of Saint James and Scallop Day share the same date. After all, the Scallop Shell is a symbol of the Way of Saint James.

Today is Chocolate Chip Day. So I bet you were expecting cookies. Yeah, that isn’t want I wanted to do today.

Who is Saint Matthias, Apostle? To begin with, his name means “Gift of God.” He was not chosen by Christ as an Apostle, but was chosen to replace Judas to restore their number to twelve. Matthias was with the Lord since the Jordon River, and a witness to the Resurrection.

I’ve spent the better part of this morning doing all sorts of stuff to make room for my inheritance. While I could tell you about the wonderful things I’ve received, I think it would be best to just share the pictures.
Continue reading “My Inheritance”Behold Our Lady of Fatima
We’ve been hanging out, sharing memories, thoughts, and recipes for a long time. I dipped my toes into the blogging world in October 2017. That year my grand total of posts shared was one. That’s the equivalent of my average daily posts over the last 3 years. Wow – guess once I got the ball rolling, there was no turning back.
Continue reading “Behold Our Lady of Fatima”Early Morning Thoughs
It’s five o’clock in the morning. The first hint of the golden slivers of a new day begin to stretch across the sky as the world slowly wakes. Hello Monday. It’s been a long, sleepless night for me. How ’bout you?
Continue reading “Early Morning Thoughs”A Mother’s Day Picnic
As Hubby and I drove up into the foothills to attend yet another community gathering in Knights Ferry a few Sundays ago, we chatted about Mother’s Day. He wanted to know what I wanted – after all, it was my day.
Continue reading “A Mother’s Day Picnic”Hey, Sis, It’s Your Day!
Today is the 11th of May. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Today is Eat What You Want Day. At least for some of us, that’s true. Today is also the Celebration of Life for my sister, Ann. So today is all about her, as it should be.
Continue reading “Hey, Sis, It’s Your Day!”A Friday in Washington
The state, that is. So Hello Washington State – and how are you this beautiful day? Today is National Washington State Day. Like most western coastal states, love the landscape but not too thrilled about the politics. So we’ll just steer clear of politics today.
Continue reading “A Friday in Washington”Forty Days Beyond Easter Sunday
Today marks forty days since we celebrated Easter Sunday and the Resurrection of Our Lord. Unlike the forty days of Lent, that excluded all Sundays, this time around Sundays are a part of that forty day count. What, you might ask, makes these Sundays count while those during Lent do not?
Continue reading “Forty Days Beyond Easter Sunday”Have a Coke Day
It’s National Have a Coke Day. That would be great, if I liked coke. I don’t. In all fairness to coke, I’m really not a fan of sodas to begin with. We didn’t drink sodas as a kid. Root Beer with Pizza after a Little League Game or an occasional RC Cola with a burger. We were more a Kool-Aid bunch. It was cheap, and sweet.
