It’s National Beach Day! What began as a way to recruit younger family men to the Knights of Columbus by hosting a Day at the Beach never caught on. But it was revived years later as a National Clean Up Project.

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 Sorrowful Martyrdom of Saint John
John the Baptist, John the Forerunner, John the Immerser, John the Baptiser and the Prophet Yahya. Each of these is a recognized name for Saint John, who preached in the wilderness of the coming of the Lord. For his dedication to God, his outspokenness about sin and the need to repent, he was martyred.

Today we get to celebrate a “Two-For-One-Day” in that it is so easy to weave Bow Tie Day into Red Wine Day. Both are stylish, classics. And Bow Ties could mean that thing around your neck or the American Name for Farfalle Pasta.

Has summer ended in your neck of the woods? Are schools open, and family summer vacations fading into memory? It seems the school year begins earlier and earlier. But then, summer vacation also begins earlier and earlier. In America over half of the states mandate that a school year consist of 180 days.

Today is not the Feast Day of Saint Teresa of Calcutta. Feast Days mark the anniversary of their death and entrance into Heaven. With the exception of John the Baptist, Nativities or birthdays of Saints are not celebrated. Yes, we celebrate the birth of Jesus. He is not a saint. He is our Lord and Savior, come down from Heaven to die for our sins.

Hubby and I celebrated our Wedding Anniversary recently. It’s been a while since we actually went out to celebrate. Since we don’t exchange gifts, my “gift” comes from the kitchen. His gift is every day, with the touch of his hand on mine. We hold hands often, and that is more precious than diamonds any day.

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve. With all the popularity that The Chosen has generated, I wanted to take a moment to get to know him better.

Today is National Ride the Wind Day. Isn’t that a catchy title? Ride the wind – the very idea is exciting. But this day is more than just a notion. It commemorated the anniversary of the first human-powered flight to win the Kremer Prize.

We have yet to figure out what in the world happened to our garden. It’s been a strange year all the way around, beginning with New Year’s Day. Some of you may recall that central California had an insane rain storm to usher in the new year, with levee breaks and massive flooding. We even had tornados in March. Strange year indeed.

Catholics celebrate the Queenship of Mary because her Divine Son, Jesus Christ, is Lord and King. It’s just that simple. Pope Pius XII declared the dogma of the Assumption of Mary, that she was taken, body and soul, into heavenly glory. Not by her own power, as Christ entered Heaven, but called up by Him.

Today is National Sweet Tea Day, and yet this is my first post ever to sing the praises of Sweet Tea. Now how did that happen? Must have been busy with other things. Oh well, an oversight that is now corrected.

Today is National Bacon Lovers Day and Chocolate Pecan Pie Day. Hum, what should we talk about? Bacon, of course!

It’s funny how things work out. In August, we have Hubby’s Birthday, our anniversary and our great-granddaughter’s birthday. Hubby and I will postpone or reschedule our birthdays and anniversary to accommodate family events.

Sometimes, when I talk about my Catholic roots, I feel as though I come across as bragging, full of my own sense of rightness. Believe me when I say that’s not what I intended. I love being a Cradle Catholic. It is a part of my very being, and it fills me with such joy, I cannot help but to want to share that with the world.

Perhaps it’s that whole Kennedy legacy and Camelot of my youth, but when I think of Massachusetts, I think elegant, sophisticated and magical.
