Welcome to another Catholic Friday. Okay, so it’s Friday for everyone on this side of the date line, not just a Friday for Catholics. Today isn’t just Friday, it’s Different Colored Eyes Day. It’s also a bunch of other things as well that we aren’t even going to talk about.

Good Morning Blueberry Muffins!
Good morning and welcome to the 11th day of July. Time is flying by so quickly. Today is the Feast Day of Saint Benedict, Abbot. Every day within the Catholic Church is a feast day. Like so many saints of old, little is knows about him beyond the establishment of the great order which bears his name.

Hubby and I like to visit “Little Mexico” a few times a year, usually in the spring and early fall. The rest of the time it’s either too blistering hot or too wet to visit this huge flea market just south-west of us. We call it Little Mexico because it’s a lot like visiting Mexico.

Today is the Second Tuesday in July. This day is better known as Cow Appreciation Day. Does that mean we should grill up a delicious steak? Nope.

It must be a Mellow Day. Mondays at home need to be mellow for two very good reasons. First off, weekends are usually busy. There are the household chores, and the fun stuff sandwiched in-between. Monday is the first work day, so that’s always a bummer.

Sometimes I’m a little slow at putting things together as they should be shared. Especially when those moments mean everything to me. June began with a great deal of emotion that I am only now ready to share.
Continue reading “Faith Makes Everything New”Hello Saturday!
One of the best parts of summer, believe it or not, is that we don’t have a hundred choices of what to do or where to go on a Saturday morning. In our part of the country, spring and fall are busy. Once the heat begins festivals and street fairs come to a halt.

Once upon a time when Kiddo was a kid, we had a tradition for Fat Tuesday. We made Pancakes. You know, colorful Shove Tuesday Pancakes. Gosh, it’s been a while.

Once upon a time when it came to entertaining, our big house with a big pool was the place to be. Big house gone, along with that over-the-top big life. In many ways I’m glad. Without all the noise and distractions, life is better.
Continue reading “Foil Equals Carefree Entertaining”Feast of Saint Thomas, the Apostle
Today is the Feast Day of Saint Thomas, the Apostle. He was one of the twelve chosen by Christ. And yet Thomas seems to get the short end of the stick so often. Doubting Thomas. Demanding proof with his own eyes before believing.

Welcome to another Tuesday in my kitchen. While the rest of the world calls this Taco Tuesday, in our house it’s Tijuana Tuesday – so anything with a Mexican flare is a-okay with me.
Continue reading “Another Spicy Tuesday Night”July’s Most Precious Blood
Within the Catholic Faith, each month has a special dedication to a different doctrine of faith. This is different from the Church Liturgical Calendar. The Liturgical Calendar does not begin on January 1 and end the last day in December. It begins with Advent. It ends the Saturday following Christ the King.

Boy, can I tell you some stories about Mai Tai Cocktails and a very stuborn husband. And this is the perfect time to tell it.
Continue reading “Aloha! It’s Mai Tai Time”The Feast of Two Saintly Men
Today is the Feast Day of two pillars of the Christian Faith. It is the Feast Day of Saints Peter (Simon) and Paul (Saul). Saint Peter was the rock on which Christ built his church. Saint Paul was instrumental in bringing the faith to the Gentiles.

On January 3, 1959 Alaska became the 49th state to join the Union. Boy, does that make me feel old. When I was born, America consisted of only the 48 adjoining or Continental States.
