Typically our daily “theme” when planning meals is to expand Taco Tuesdays with anything Mexican – from tacos to tostadas and enchiladas and more. Thursdays are all about having fun in the Tuscan Sun – from Spaghetti to Ravioli and our favorite, anything Piccata.

Counting down the days until our upcoming mad-capped adventure. When I was growing up families didn’t fly off to amusement parks for a summer vacation. We drove everywhere. The best bologna sandwiches ever are those eaten by the roadside from the back of the family station wagon.

Many, many moons ago, in a prior life, Hubby and I discovered what Mountain Man Rendezvous and Pow Wows were all about. I don’t know if Hubby was a history buff before we got together or if he caught the bug from me.

Saints Peter and Paul are two of the most unlikely pair to share a feast day, and yet they do. Peter, the Rock on which Christ established His church. And Paul, born a Jew, but as a Roman Citizens, persecuted converts to the new Christian faith.

Growing up, I had never even heard of Eggs Benedict. At least I don’t think I had. It wasn’t until Hubby and I got married that my culinary world began to open up in a very strange way.

Today is one of those rare feast days that comes to the Church through its rich oral tradition. Oral tradition is truly the building blocks of our faith. Before there was written scripture there were the oral traditions.

It’s interesting to see opposing trends happing simultaneously. It’s a shame that these trends are also splitting much of the country in two. There’s the left and the right. Nearly all Christians aline more to the right. I don’t think that has changed over the years.

Did you know that if you search a date, like today, one of the things that will pop up is Wikipedia – filled with seemingly useless information. For example today is 176th day of the year, unless it’s a leap year, and then it would be 177th. (No kidding!) Leap year or not only 189 days remain until the end of the year.

Did you know that today is National Pink Day? Depending upon the site you choose, it has as many reasons for celebrating as there are shades of pink in the world. Once upon a time, pink wasn’t even associated with the gender of a child.

It’s not enough to simply be a part of conception, a father is so much more than that. Study after study reinforces what generations before ours knew – the role of father is key to everyone’s well being.

While Memorial Day has always signaled the Unofficial Start of Summer (aka boating season), the Summer Solstice is the official start of the summer season.

Most Americans refer to the local administration as a County, each with its own County Seat. Only two states are not divided into counties. There are jurisdictional lines alright, but these lines aren’t called county lines. In Alaska there are different Boroughs. While Louisiana uses the term Parish.

Sometimes I think it’s interesting the way things just have a way of working themselves out. Yesterday we shared a lovely Roast Supper and hinted at a second meal to come. While this could have been it, it’s not.
