Home Sweet Home – it’s great to get away, but oh so nice to be back home again. You know me, I don’t share our travels and adventures until they are behind us. No sense in advertising to the world that the home front is empty.

Have you ever noticed that men don’t always seem to listen? Or if they do, they don’t always seem to retain what you’ve said. Case in point French Vanilla Ice Cream.

We have traditions in our house. One of those traditions is Hubby’s Birthday Dinner. While Kiddo and I might take him out to eat sometime around his birthday, on his actual day I make his favorite supper. It’s really a simple meal – just Meatloaf, AuGratin Potatoes and Green Beans.

Of all the Holy Days to honor our Blessed Mother Mary, this day means the most to me personally. It was 5 years ago today, on the Holy Feast of the Assumption of Mary into heaven that my baby girl was called to her final rest.

While the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II are most well known for having sent more than 800 messages during the invasion of Iwo Jima, they were not the first.

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 National Lighthouse Day. For those of you who have been around a while, you know that I love lighthouses. When I was younger, my fantasy was to be an old lady living alone on an island somewhere. Not a tropical island, but someplace cold and foggy. Just me, my lighthouse and three or four large dogs.
Continue reading “Come Sail Away”The Blessed Feast of Transfiguration
The Transfiguration of Our Lord as witnessed by Simon Peter, James and John is so important to the Christian Faith that it appears in the Gospels of Matthew (17:5), Mark (9:6) and Luke (9:35). It is a revelation that is acknowledged in both the Roman and Eastern rites of the Catholic Church.

Here is it another Tuesday on the old home front. Bet you were thinking we’re gonna wander south of the border tonight. Haw! Fooled ya!

Before we get into all this day means on the National Stage, I want to wish the best Hubby on our entire street a very Happy Birthday. In my opinion, he’s the best Hubby on the planet, but other wives out there might tend to disagree. So I’ll say our street.
