National Respect Our Parents Day
Each month throughout the year the Catholic Church dedicates that particular month to a devotion. August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Consecration of the faithful to the Mother of God was a part of the Fatima message.

Today happens to be National Pennsylvania Day. While it’s been some time since we focused on a National State, I’m drawn to Pennsylvania for two very different reasons.

His real name was John Chapman, the son of a Revolutionary War soldier who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. After the war, the Chapmans moved to Ohio, where John became an apprentice orchardist. By 1817 he had begun his lifelong habit of planting apple seeds throughout his travels.

Now I don’t know about you, but to me Eggnog is just an excuse to drink a little brandy. Either that or create some incredible breakfast dishes, with or without the brandy chaser.

For an Ordinary Times Saturday, we sure have a lot of things going on. It’s Hubby’s National Day (sort of). Actually, it’s Two Different Colored Eyes Day. Since he has two different colored eyes, I’d say that makes today special for him.

Today is National Pancake Day. My Dad made the best pancakes ever. And that’s a good thing. He worked construction. If you know anything about construction, you know it’s not a year-round job. The rains of winter signaled a tightening of the belt as construction work came to a crawl.
