Today is a very special day on a personal note. It’s the day I married my soulmate, my other half. While I wanted to mark this day with a very special, romantic supper, there were other things on my mind.

Today is National Senior Citizens Day. What is a Senior Citizen? That depends. The short answer would be somewhere between 62 and 65 for most government benefits. Some business start offering discounts at 55 for lower rates on hotels and meals.

Welcome to the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C. If you are a Catholic, you understand. If not, that’s okay too. It’s also the second Sunday of August. Each year on this particular Sunday we take a moment to salute the Spirit of 1945 and those of the Greatest Generation.

Welcome to the 15th Week in Ordinary Times. Today is also the Memorial of Saint Bonaventure, Bishop and Doctor of the Church. Don’t worry, we aren’t going to go into depth about Saint Bonaventure.

While reading through various recipes from just about everywhere, I came across a recipe that claimed to be a copy-cat of a Texas Roadhouse skillet chicken. I wouldn’t know if that were ture for two very good reasons.

Welcome to July, where the dedication of the month is The Precious Blood of Jesus. Don’t worry, we aren’t going to get into all that just yet. But come Advent and the start of the new Church Year I’ll have plenty to say. That is if I remember . . .

Can this be right? Has another month slipped by? Is 2025 really and truly half way behind us? That’s scary. But then again, perhaps the best is yet to come. We just need to let go, and trust in Him.

How’s your Monday thus far? More importantly, did you have a good weekend? Here in our corner of the world, the weather has been unusually mild. Some might think the upper 80s is hot, but when you are accustom to double digits by the end of June, 80s is down right refreshing.

Oh what a beautiful day. Spring is trying to break through. The days are not as chilly, while the nights are still a bit cold. Perfect weather to get a jump on our spring cleaning projects and start thinking about resurrecting our garden.

Every time Hubby and I do the shopping together as we wander through the produce section, I glance longingly at the Fingerling Potatoes. It seems they never fit into our menu plan. And there was only one solution.

Today is both Iowa Day and Fly a Kite Day. I have such warm memories of flying kites as a kid. Back then a kite cost a whopping twenty-five cents. The tail was made from torn strips of old clothing tied together, and the string was wrapped around a stick.

Do you like Escargot? I do, but only if it’s swimming in butter and garlic. Brother Dear told me it’s not the Escargot I love, it’s just a legitimate means to get butter and garlic into my mouth. Hum, he might just have a point.

Today is National Lighthouse Day. Now in the past we’ve talked about those guiding beacons on American soil. But lighthouses are not limited to American know-how. They’ve been around since before there was an America.
