Today is National Filet Mignon Day. Oh how I once loved Filet Mignon. While still one of my favorites, I’m more a Ribeye gal these days. Filet Mignon is like a blank canvas – open to the sauces that render the meal unforgetable.

The idea of Taco Tuesday is nothing new. The idea of Taco Specials have been around since 1933, although not yet with the phrase “Taco Tuesday”. That wasn’t popularized until 1968.

When I was a girl, I thought big plate of Spaghetti was the most romantic thing ever. What else was I to think? My generation grew up with Walt Disney. One could argue that Disney was different way back when, but the reality is that Disney continues to be exactly what it always was – a mirror.

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.

When I was a young girl (all those centuries ago) I don’t know which I enjoyed more – curing up with a good book or writing a story. Books are magical – they can carry you to the past, the future or to places that only exist in someone’s imagination.

The idea of spending a night sleeping under the stars sounds so romantic. In many ways it is. Imagine looking up into the vastness of the night sky filled with shimmering points of light and realizing how small we truly are compared to the universe.

Today is the feast day of Saint Ignatius, founder of the Jesuit Order. Just saying. It’s also Avocado Day and Raspberry Cake Day. Again, just saying.

It’s a Hump Day Wednesday. What could be better mid week than spending a little time at a bar? An ice cream bar, that is.

The best part of summer is that we tend to naturally slow down a bit. Drivers on the road seem to drive slower. We tend to move slower. Maybe it’s the summer sun does that. Or the fact that since childhood, we want our summers to last.

Today is National Parents Day. Mothers are important. Fathers are important. Parents are the most important of all. While more and more single parent households are common place, complete loving families are essential.

Paul Francis Daneo was born in northern Italy on January 3, 1694 to exemplary Catholic parents. This was during a time when many regarded Jesus as a great moral teacher, but not divine. Saint Paul was so moved by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, he dedicated his life to the Passion.
