Tuesday’s Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle

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.

My Inheritance

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Nothing Shows Appreciation More Than Baking

Oh how I miss Teacher Appreciation Day. We no longer have children in school. Even our grandchildren are grown. And as for Little Miss Hazel, she’s not yet 3 so our first great-grandbaby is only now beginning preschool.

Amazingly Delicious Crêpe Suzette

Here we go again – our second nod to National Crêpe Suzette Day. We haven’t whipped up this yummy French favorite since 2019. You would have thought during the massively insane lockdowns of 2020, we would have been trying all sorts of Crêpe things.

Bless This Day Made for Feasting!

Welcome to the Sixth Sunday of Easter. Throughout the secular world, today is the 5th Day of May, Cinco de Mayo. This year, Cinco de Mayo feels a little different for me. And not because it happens to be a Sunday in the Easter Season.

Orange Juice Day and Old-Style Waffles

Seems like all we talk about lately is this National Day or that National Day. Hey, to write over 3,100 posts I have to get my inspiration from somewhere. Do you realize I have not missed a day of sharing in over 3 years? Yeah, that does not mean I sit here every day writing something.

A Feast Day of Two Apostles

Before Dallas Jenkins gave us The Chosen, I never really paid much attention to the Apostles. I knew Christ selected twelve men for very specific tasks within His ministry. Even Judas was chosen for the very reason of betrayal. While that offends most Christians, the reality is without his betrayal, there would be no redemption.
