Over the years, Hubby and I have done our share of traveling adventures. We’ve sipped rum in Jamaica, seen the wilds of Alaska, swam with sharks in Tahiti, and climbed Mayan ruins in the Yucatan.

Some feast days are grounded in scripture. Some are inspired by the Lord. Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Continue reading “To Have the Immaculate Heart of Mary”Blessed is the Sacred Heart of Our Lord
Today is the Feast Day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Responsorial Psalms for today’s Mass got me to wonder just what did David mean when he wrote about fearing the Lord. We hear that so often – to fear Him. If God is our loving father, why are we told to cower in fear of Him?
Continue reading “Blessed is the Sacred Heart of Our Lord”Memorial Feast of Saint Barnabas, Apostle
Like so many of the earlier followers, disciples, apostles and the inner circle of twelve, little is knows about Saint Barnabas beyond what is contained in the New Testament. He was born in Cyprus around the time of Jesus’ birth. His family was considered wealthy.

Have you ever been just minding your own business while singing along to a song on the radio and suddenly a light comes on? Something you never realized is suddenly so obvious.
Continue reading “Southern Man’s Sweet Tea Supper”Jack’s Out of the Box Tacos
It’s been a while since I gave my Jack In the Box Copy-Cat Taco recipe a whirl. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve had the real thing. In California fast food restaurants costs as much as a sit down diner. For those prices I want to be waited on and not bus my own table.

Has anyone ever asked you to name your poison? We all know it’s not really poison at all, but rather our booze selection for the evening. Whenever National Days such as this one pop up, I like to see what we’ve shared before.
Continue reading “What’s Your Poison?”Oh What a Beautiful Day!
Not only is today a Sunday (and that makes it special no matter what) it is also Corpus Christi Sunday. While Thursday was the actual feast day, today we celebrate the Mass.
Continue reading “Oh What a Beautiful Day!”Was There a Point?
(War, huh) Yeah
(What is it good for?) Absolutely nothin’
Oh Yeah – Donuts!
Today is the first Friday in June. That means it’s National Donut Day. Now I’ve got to ask the powers that be – whomever you are – why Friday? I bet folks after Sunday Service would appreciate a donut. Or Saturday, after our morning at the market.
Continue reading “Oh Yeah – Donuts!”Counting the Days Since Easter
Today is sixty days beyond Easter Sunday. Or the Second Thursday since Pentecost Sunday. Or the first Thursday since Holy Trinity Sunday. However you wish to count the days, today is the Feast Day of Corpus Christi.

Today is National Egg Day. There is nothing in this world like a fresh egg. I can remember when Dad build a chicken coup for what would eventually become our six laying hens.
Continue reading “Spicing Up National Egg Day”Tuesday’s Adjacent Chicken Share
Today just happens to be National Rotisserie Chicken Day. We’ve got a great grill set up with a smoking chamber, a coal side and the convenience of gas grilling, just no Rotisserie. One of these days . . .

Today is National Say Something Nice Day. My favorite Disney advice as a child has to be that all too famous quote from Bambi.

Today is one of those times when two Feast Days collide – and only one can take presidency over the other. Since Easter moves about as it does, those Feast Days and Memorials tied directly to Easter and Pentecost also move.
