When Russia first invaded Ukraine, the world held it’s breath. Similarities were drawn between images of World War II and this newest conflict. But unlike World War II, we had live-feed twenty-four hours a day streaming into our living rooms.

Pentecost Sunday – Alleluia!
Pentecost Sunday is the last day of the Easter Season. Tomorrow we begin second phase of Ordinary Times. The Church calendar begins on the First Sunday of Advent, four Sundays before Christmas. Advent Season marks the start of a new Church year and is the first Major Season of the cycle. It is followed by Christmas, the second Major Season. The third is Lent, and the last of the four seasons is Easter. Between the Major Seasons are Ordinary Times.

Good morning all. How’s your Saturday been thus far – or is it too early to ask such questions? I love the weekends. If I had it my way, we’d start every day with a big breakfast, skip lunch and eat a salad for dinner.

Hello and welcome to the first Friday in June. In case you didn’t know, today is National Doughnut Day. So why aren’t we making doughnuts? Really? Because the doughnut shop up the street is rated as one of the best in the country. Much easier.

Hey there Bubba, did you know that today is National Leave the Office Early Day? Yep. And it’s also National Bubba Day. Bubba is such a strange word. It’s usage could be cruel or kind. It’s all in the context and frame of mind.

Is this really the first day in June? Oh my, this year is really flying along. The older I get, the more the days seem to whisk on by. Too bad life doesn’t come with a remote control to fast-forward though life’s difficulties and a pause button to linger in the joys.

There is a connection between cousins. Your parents are siblings, which is as close as you can get. So cousins are siblings too, once removed. More about that in a moment.

Hello there! Wishing you a Peaceful Memorial Day. I started to say Happy Memorial Day, but with all the strife and suffering in this world and the loss that Memorial Day represents, “Happy” just didn’t seem appropriate. Especially in light of what has happened in Texas. Too many families will not be celebrating a 3-Day Weekend.

Today is Coq au Vin Day. Tomorrow is the Feast Day of Saint Joan of Arc. Coq au Vin is a French Classic. And Joan of Arc is the stuff of legends. It seems only fitting to bring these two celebrations together in one amazing supper.

Have you ever wondered about National Days? You know, National Kiss a Frog Day or National Fold a Pizza Day or any number of other National Days. There is at lease one for every day of the year, and in most cases three or four or more.

Today is the Friday before Memorial Day. The Friday before Memorial Day has a number of National Days all on its own. But we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. Today is also May 27, and you know what that means? It’s National Grape Popsicle Day!

Today marks forty days since we celebrated Easter. Forth Days – the number of days God made it rain. Forty Days past before Noah opened the window of the ark he had made. Moses was on the mountain Forty Days and returned with the 10 Commandments. Christ fasted in the wilderness for Forty Days. Forty Days holds great meaning.

When it comes to lunch, are you a Brown Bagger? More often than not, my guys pack a lunch. And not those premade frozen lunches. Nearly all their lunches come from leftovers or home-made sandwiches.

Today is both Wyoming Day and National Escargot Day. While I don’t know for sure, it would be a safe bet that very few folks from the Cowboy State eat snails. Those are pests in their gardens and not delicacies for the table.

I know it seems as though every day is some National Day. And it is, but not every recipe is inspired by a National Day. Yeah, that revelation might come as a shock to my guys. They swear all we do is try new recipes inspired by National Days.
