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.

Today is National Fettuccini Alfredo Day. That means today is suppose to be all about the Fettuccini, right? That would make sense.

Today is both Lame Duck and Chop Sticks Day. Imagine my delight when I found a picture of chop sticks with Duck rests. Perfect!

Sometimes we need to turn the world upside down to gain a better prespective. That can be a very scary experience. For the conservatives in America, it feels like the last 4 years have been upside down. For the liberals, what lay ahead might seem just as inverted.

In our house, Tuesday night’s dinner typically means something we can have with a salty margarita. If my guys had it there way, we’d rotate between Burritos, Enchiladas and Tacos. Not that I can blame them, those are among my favorites, too.

Today is National Texas Day. My favorite state that I have never truly visited. It’s also Have Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. Hum, what to do.

Today is reason to celebrate for two very good reasons. It’s our daughter’s birthday, her 5th heavenly birthday. It always surprises me how I waite for an ache that never seems to come.

Kiddo took his plate with a burger and fries along with the shake from the refrigerator and wandered back down to his room. He has quite the setup there – with multiple computer screens and a boom mic for gaming.

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Thomas Aquinas. In the past, I seem to share recipes for Blueberry Pancakes to celebrate this particular day. And with good reason, since it’s also National Blueberry Pancake Day.

Another couple of years and Hubby will be retiring. We’ve been talking about packing our bags at that point and hightailing it out of California. Don’t get me wrong. We love living in our little part of the state at the edge of the Gold Country. There are so many beautiful little towns to meander.

While it’s customary in our home to eat Fish on Fridays, celebrate all things Mexican on Tijuana Tuesdays and Tutto ciò che è italiano (everything that is Italian) on Thursdays, the weekends are up for grabs.
