On Saturday morning, as we were unpacking our groceries and putting things away, I noticed how pretty all the vegetables looked, so I just had to take a picture. Savoring even the smallest moments matter.
Remember, you will not pass this way again.
Dine In Diner Style
While the dates and the details have yet to be worked out, this summer Hubby, Kiddo and I are taking a long, long road trip. Roughly 6,000 miles round trip through 10 or 11 states, depending upon how far south we head.
Continue reading “Dine In Diner Style”Angels and Saints
Today is the Feast Day of Saints Philip and James the Just. It is also the 5th Sunday of Easter. I love that about my Catholic faith – we do know how to linger in the Holy Seasons.

Way, way back in March just before Hubby was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery, we packed as much activity as possible into the days leading up to his surgery. Everything we read, everything we learned made us believe life was going to be put on hold for a while.

May 1 is one of those days that is torn in different directions. It is a day in history marred by violence. In 1886 workers took to the streets demanding an eight-hour workday. Four days into the protests, a blast took the lives of 7 police offices; wounding another 67 in Chicago.

My mother was born on April 10 in the Philippines. Those islands just happen to be located on the other side of the international date line from America. While Mom felt the entire month of April should be dedicated to her birthday, she was willing to settle for 2 days – the 9th and 10th.
Continue reading “Farewell to April Showers”It’s a Scampi Kind of Day
Here in America, Scampi is all about the cooking technique. Scampi can be anything from a chicken to a shrimp that is sautéed and served in a yummy helping of my favorites – garlic and butter. Truth be told, Escargot is just a fancy way to pop garlic and butter into my mouth.

It took a while for me to bake cakes that I was proud to serve. Baking is a completely different skill set from cooking. Baking takes a certain amount of discipline that I often lack. Measurements are exact. There is little room to wing it.

In February 1895 a man thought to be the greatest baseball player ever to play the game was born. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its first five members.

Welcome to the 4th Sunday of the Easter Season. What a blessed and beautiful day to be alive! I am so grateful for all the miracles Christ has brought to my life.

When an author takes pen in hand and begins to write, typically they have an audience in mind. Romance novels are geared to women. Westerns were once penned toward men. There are children’s authors and science fiction works. So who were the Gospels written for?

Now I know what you are thinking, what’s this? It’s Friday – how can you be serving up Little Piggies in a Muffin Blanket? Lucky for you, I made this for my family on a lazy Saturday afternoon, just so I could share with you today.

What is the most romantic thing you can think of? For me, the most romantic thing I can think of is a picnic. Spread out a blanket on the ground under the shade of a big tree. Sit next to my husband, holding hands, gazing into each others eyes. So in love. So at peace.

Today isn’t just a National Day, it’s an International Day. Earth Day was created to bring attention to the environment, and our responsibility not only to ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, but to generations to come. Preserving our natural wildlife is important. Sustainable – that’s the real key.

Today just happens to be Hubby’s favorite “Candy” Day. Chocolate Cashew Clusters are his go-to treat anytime we wander into a real candy shop. He’s even been known to make them all on his own – with much pride I might add.
