Today is Veterans Day. As a Nation, we owe a great debt of gratitude to those who answer the call to serve, and even to sacrifice all, for the greater good. Sometimes we forget, they do not serve alone.

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 Salute to the US Marine Corps
Today we honor and salute those brave men and women who proudly wear the uniform of the United States Marines. The US Marine Corps was first established on November 10, 1775, under the command of the US Navy to fight in the revolutionary war. That’s a long history.

Your foot gets to tapping. Your body begins to sway. First there is the guitar strumming, the cords filled with a down home rhythm. Then the drums begin to play.

Today marks 962 days straight without missing a day of posting. Is that a big deal? I don’t know. Posting is a lot like eating peanuts – once you start, and get on a roll, you just can’t stop.

It’s Taco Tuesday. Now I know that yesterday was National Nacho Day, and we didn’t have Nachos. So it seemed fitting that today, Taco Tuesday, we not have Tacos. At lease not in the traditional sense.

Would you believe that today is National Nachos Day? Here’s something even more shocking – we aren’t sharing Nachos today. I know, stunning, isn’t it?

On the National Stage, today is Candy Day. I don’t know that I understand Candy Day four days removed from Halloween. Perhaps its out of respect for All Saints and All Souls and to give parents a chance to sort through the candy. In any case, Happy Candy Day!

This worked out nicely – National Sandwich Day falling on a Friday. In this Old School Catholic Household, that can only mean Soup and Sandwich Day – providing neither contains meat.

So often, when someone passes away, we say things like “You’ll see them again in Heaven” or “You know they are looking down on you.” These are comforting thoughts. I’ve said these same things. My mother, my brother, my daughter and now my sister are no longer with us. In my mind, I see them all together again in Heaven.

As Hubby and I changed into our Halloween Costumes, I reminded him that November 1 we needed to attend Mass. It was an obligation outside of Sundays. Even to the non-believer, the fact that Sundays, all Sundays throughout the year, are deemed Holy Days of Obligation comes as no surprise. The faithful are expected to attend Mass. There is no need to explain why.

Halloween Night takes some special planning. If you have young children who are going out Trick or Treating, it’s hard to get them to sit through a big meal. When kiddo was younger, it was a night for Corn Dogs. Quick, easy and out the door.

This year there were some real uncertainty surrounding our Annual Adult Pot Luck Costume Halloween Party. Plans were made, and that’s a good thing considering. We needed plans, even in the face of loss.

Is there an abundance of chicken roasters right now? A few months back, I noticed that the Deli Rotisserie Chicken had doubled in price. But lately the market seems to be running specials on whole chickens. Which is good. Roast Chicken sure hits the comfort button this time of year.

While I realize that the true focus of Christian Faith must always be on Jesus Christ, I do wish we knew more about the Apostles. Each was chosen by Jesus for a particular reason. If we knew more about them, perhaps we might understand better why each was selected. What did they have to offer? And we just might be able to see a bit of ourselves in them.
