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.

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.

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.

Today is National American Family Day. It caused me to wonder, what is the typical American Family? And do we still dream the American Dream?

My youngest sister, Jaqs is the one to host most family functions. She has the larger house, and on those blistering summer days, she’s the one with a pool. Besides, we are the only out-of-towners. Everyone else lives no more than 20 minutes from her.

Today we begin a new month – August. For some this signals the last days of summer. For Catholics, we will take a moment to reflect upon the dedication of this month to The Immuculate Heart of Mary. Amen.

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.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, “My Refuge,
My Rock in whom I trust.”
Savoring Summer
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.
