Today is the feast day of Saint Ignatius, founder of the Jesuit Order. Just saying. It’s also Avocado Day and Raspberry Cake Day. Again, just saying.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
A Fun Kind of Bar For All
It’s a Hump Day Wednesday. What could be better mid week than spending a little time at a bar? An ice cream bar, that is.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, “My Refuge,
My Rock in whom I trust.”
Savoring Summer
The best part of summer is that we tend to naturally slow down a bit. Drivers on the road seem to drive slower. We tend to move slower. Maybe it’s the summer sun does that. Or the fact that since childhood, we want our summers to last.

Today is National Parents Day. Mothers are important. Fathers are important. Parents are the most important of all. While more and more single parent households are common place, complete loving families are essential.

July 26th is a feast day within the church. Today we remember two very important people who are not mentioned in Sacred Scripture, yet we know they existed.

To call James, cousin to Jesus and John, son of Zebedee, the Greater might make him sound somehow more important or above the other apostles. He was no more great then James the Lesser. Calling James great was simply a way to distinguish him from the other James.

On the National front today is Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. It was hard to decide – fast-food or booze? What can I say, the Tequila won out. Yet man does not live by Tequila alone, so naturally I had to spend some time in the kitchen.

Growing up summertime and camping went hand in hand. My Dad loved the outdoors and he loved to fish. Strangely enough, he didn’t like to eat fish.

Today we celebrate the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene. While we all agree that Mary Magdalene was a follower of Christ who was at the foot of the cross and the first to encounter the Risen Lord, much about her remains a mystery that is surrounded by debate.

Today is National Junk Food Day. Now in order for me to share this post today, the food was actually prepared a while back just for this very share. To me, junk food is anything that resembles a TV Dinner. It’s an age thing, I guess. While TV Dinners were all the rage back in the day, we ate real meals. And we did so at the table, not in front of the TV.

What immediately comes to mind? Some wander off in thought, toes tapping as they whisper Pennsylvania 6-5000. Others might think of Amish Country or the Pennsylvania Dutch.

Today is National Daiquiri Day! Hooray! The very first Daiquiris are not what we think of as today’s Daiquiri. It was served in a tall glass filled with cracked ice (as in chiseled off a block of ice). A teaspoon of sugar was sprinkled over the ice, followed by the juice of a lime or two. Add three ounces of white rum and stir with a long-handled spoon. That’s all there was to it.

The holidays are becoming bitter sweet. In just a few more years Hubby will retire full-time. This is his last year of working five days a week. His retirement package is in place. Beginning next year Hubby’s work schedule will gradually transition from 5-day work week to 4, then 3 then 2 until at last he’s fully retired.

We truly are blessed to live where we do. There is so much around us that you cannot get anywhere else. At least I don’t think you can. It’s all about the culture and climate of the area. And I’m not talking about the weather. I’m talking about the people.
