Today is National Lighthouse Day. Now in the past we’ve talked about those guiding beacons on American soil. But lighthouses are not limited to American know-how. They’ve been around since before there was an America.

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.
The Feast of the Transfiguration
This is one of those beautiful stories that brings Old and New Testements together in a profound way. If you look close enough, you might even find a bit of humor there.

Long before there was a Kiddo to join us, Hubby and I loved to go to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire that was held each October in the hills across the bay from San Francisco. I was too young to attend the very first Pleasure Faire held in Marin’s China Camp State Park in 1967.

Today is the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Times. There’s nothing ordinary about today and nothing typical about my American Family.

Today is National Georgia Day. Instead of singing the praises of the great state of Georgia, I thought it might be fun to learn about a particular place. So I picked a city I was unfamiliar with, and did a little exploring.

Today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. Who doesn’t like an ice cream sandwich? I thought, let’s make one ourselves.

The very idea that someone out there felt the need to create a National Respect For Parents Day is a very sad commentary on the state of our society. Yet here we are.

Today we celebrate the Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest and founder of the Jesuits. Saint Ignatius was not a saint I was familiar with, so I went in search of information.

Tuesdays in general mean just one thing in my house – and that’s something wonderful with a Mexican influence. Be it Taco Tuesday or Spicy Lasagna, just bring on those Mexican flavors all the way. Today is also National Cheesecake Day.

One thing I’ve got to say about the Catholic Church is that we are reminded through memorials, and special feasts that each of us was created for a purpose. Sainthood is the ultimate goal of every Catholic. Saints are not perfect, but they do place God above all else.

On the National front, the 28th day of July has much to celebrate. It’s Buffalo Soldier Day and Milk Chocolate Day. It’s also the 4th Sunday of this month. And that makes it all the more special as we celebrate Parents Day.

Welcome to the 4th Saturday of July. If you’ve been around a while, you know that today is National Cowboy Day. Cowboys are near and dear to my heart. As are country folks.

It’s strange to think of God as having a family history. Yet He does. He came down from Heaven and became man – Jesus Christ. His mother, Mary also had parents. They were His earthly grandparents. Let that sink in for a moment.

I remember reading once that Christ changed people’s names because He could, that it somehow was a part of His Holy Divinity. They compared this to God of the Old Testement. Abram became Abraham, Sarai became Sarah and Jacob became Israel. These were done for various reasons by God Himself.

Every year on the 24th day of July, I cannot help but to chuckle. Two National Days come together. Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. Not exactly the most prudent of combination.
