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.

I love muffins in the mornings. It’s like having dessert to get you started. One of the things that I love about Mimi’s Café is the muffin that comes with every breakfast.

Just up the road from us, about a 15 minute drive through the countryside is the Cowboy Capital of the World, Oakdale California. Oakdale isn’t just about it’s rodeo. There are wonderful small town festivals during the holidays. And in the spring, the Saturday Farmer’s Market returns.

If I had to pick between a Sugar Cookie or a Butter Cookie, Butter would win every time. Even on a Nation Day such as this. Sorry, Sugar Cookie.

It’s been a full month since our amazing Napa-Sonoma whirlwind get away. You would think some of the food craving would have worn off by now. Our first night in Napa we had dinner at an amazing Mexican restaurant; Los Agaves on the riverfront.

On the 7th of July the world celebrates Macaroni Day. Okay, maybe not the entire world or even the whole of America. Regardless, today is National Macaroni Day.
Continue reading “Hey There Macaroni Day”A Fried Chicken Sunday
Today is the fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Times. Every Sunday is special. In the secular world this Sunday is awesome. This year National Fried Chicken Day (July 6) happens to fall on a Sunday.
Continue reading “A Fried Chicken Sunday”Come Float Away
Today is National Hawaii Day and the day after the 4th of July. While I know the 4th is a big holiday here in America, personally I think people should get the 5th of July off. Why? Unless the 4th falls on a Friday (like this year) or Saturday, today would be a hung-over work day.
Continue reading “Come Float Away”What A Grand Day This Is
Hooray for the Red White and Blue. Now I know most of you, if you are celebrating Independence Day, you’ve got it together by now. I can’t imagine waking up on the 4th of July without a game plan. Although by the number of people I see wandering about in the grocery store with blank stares, some might have procrastinated too long.
Continue reading “What A Grand Day This Is”Thomas Exists in All of Us
Doubting Thomas. Sadly, when we think of Thomas the Apostle, his questioning the resurrection without witnessing the Risen Lord first hand is what comes to mind. But is Thomas any different than the rest of us, any less a man of faith?

This question goes out to those living in America – what does the 4th of July mean to you? Does it touch your soul? Do you get teary-eyed when you see fireworks and hear a patriotic song?
Continue reading “Now That’s a Burger!”Spicing Up Our Tuesday
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 . . .
Continue reading “Spicing Up Our Tuesday”And a Farewell to June
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.
Continue reading “And a Farewell to June”A Day to Celebrate Two Pillars of Faith
If ever there were polar opposites among Christ’s Chosen, it had to be Peter and Paul. Both men were Jews who lived in the time of Christ. Both reacted to Christ’s teachings and conversion in very different ways.
Continue reading “A Day to Celebrate Two Pillars of Faith”The Beautiful Heart of Mary
Today, following the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. While both of these feasts involve the heart, they are not the same.
