Eight days after the Assumption of Mary, she was crowned Queen of Heaven. Her son is King and Lord, and He declared His mother as Queen.

Here it is day 14 of our insane road trip. It was over 2,500 miles just to reach our destination – Tennessee. Hubby estimated that we put on another 1,000 miles or so exploring Tennessee. Wanting to avoid retracing our journey out, the return trip took us 500 miles deeper into the south.

Today we celebrate Senior Citizens Day. This isn’t just simply a day to appreciate the elderly among us, it’s also about recognizing their contributions to society. After all, with age comes wisdom, or so I’ve been told.

As we left New Orleans in the rearview mirror, we could not help but to remark as to what an amazing day this had been on the road.

It seems lately we’ve been eating our fair share of casseroles – be it for breakfast or supper. Did you know that although the American housewife is often credited with the popularity of casseroles, the origins of casseroles are much older.

Have you ever had one of those places that you hold near and dear to your heart despite the fact that you had never been there? Rome is one of those places for me – or more precise, the Vatican. As a Catholic, my reasons should be as obvious as the nose on my face.

In case you haven’t guessed it, today happens to be National Potato Day. Love potatoes – baked, fried, roasted, boiled, mashed or smashed. I can remember as a kid carving potatoes to use as “stamps” for an art class.

On the morning of the 13th day on the road, we packed up the car for what truly felt like the 100th time, and hit the road. We were on the return route home.

The largest Antique Flea Market in Sacramento is held on the second Sunday of every month. The Second Sunday in May also happens to be Mother’s Day. Over the years we have developed a Mother’s Day tradition.

A city of any significant size is able to boast about a good many things – upscale restaurants, zoos, perhaps a planetarium, art galleries, museums and a Botanical Garden.

Siblings are our first friends – and although we might drift apart, there is a connection that neither time nor distance nor differences can separate. We sometimes forget just how precious and fragile life can be.

From a purely Catholic perspective, there were so many places I wanted to visit while in Alabama. Tops on my bucket list would have taken more than a day. Time we did not have.

Last night Hubby and I attended a fundraiser dinner at our parish for Net Ministries. There is an awakening in the Christian Community, no doubt.

As a child I can remember having Bread Pudding every once in a while. I don’t remember exactly when or why – but I get the feeling Bread Pudding might have been something Aunt Virginia contributed to family gathers.

Our time in Tennessee went by too quickly. And yet it was time well spent. We got to sample a hot sweltering summer in the south – and survived. We met the most amazingly friendly people. We felt as though we were leaving home behind.
