Today is National Lighthouse Day. I thought it would be nice to feature a lighthouse a little closer to home. Battery Point Lighthouse is in northern California, near Crescent City. Established in 1856, this small but beautiful lighthouse is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

A Beautiful Friday Night Supper
On the National Front, today is Oyster Day, Underwear Day, Work like a Dog Day and Water Balloon Day (1st Friday in August). With the exception of Oysters, none of those celebrations have anything to do with food. As for oysters – not my cup of tea. Never have been, never will.

Hello and welcome to a beautiful Friday that the Lord has created. Not to get too religious on you, I just feel such joy within me when I think of our Creator. I wish I could somehow bottle it up and hand it out to those in need of a little joy in their lives.

Hello and welcome to the first Friday in June. In case you didn’t know, today is National Doughnut Day. So why aren’t we making doughnuts? Really? Because the doughnut shop up the street is rated as one of the best in the country. Much easier.

Today is National Shrimp Scampi Day. Who doesn’t adore shrimp scampi? But sometimes we want more or different or whatever. It’s spring – let’s embrace the wonder of the season.

Welcome to Jelly Bean Day and Earth Day and my personal favorite, Fabulous Friday. Originally, today appeared on my meal planner as Fish Friday, but that just didn’t have the appeal I was looking for.

Today is the Friday follow Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season. Lent is a special time of prayer, penance, sacrifice and good works in preparation of the celebration of Easter. It is a time of renewal and rebirth.

Today is National Fettuccine Alfredo Day. What better day to tell the story behind this simple dish of perfection. Authentic Fettuccine Alfredo is nothing more than a ribbon pasta, butter and melted cheese. It’s the story behind Fettuccine Alfredo that is truly amazing.

Happy Friday! It’s the start of another great weekend for most folks. And a day to pause in quiet reflection for most Old-school Catholics. Sadly some have forgotten the importance of penance, and this is especially true in America.
