Years gone by we had a birthday tradition for Hubby’s Birthday Cake. His favorite cake is a Marble Cake with Chocolat Frosting. This year’s celebration was a bit different. So there was no cake.

Today is National Filet Mignon Day. Typically when we think Filet Mignon, we think fancy steak house where the Mignon is served with a perfectly executed Béarnaise Sauce or a Road House type steak joint with a Mignon wrapped in bacon.

Would you believe the one in the middle isn’t the middle child. Nope, that would be the sister to the left. The one to the right is the youngest of this group. And the one in the middle is the first born.

Welcome to the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Times and the National Celebration of the Spirit of 45. What a time to have been alive! Back then, no one felt the need to apologize for loving America.

First, let me say I don’t mean to imply that the good folks of Connecticut are lazy in anyway. It’s just that today is both Connecticut Day and Lazy Day. One really has nothing to do with the other.
Continue reading “Connecticut Day and Being Lazy”The Magic of Words
Do you love books? I do. I love learning. Even fiction can weave a few lessons by allowing us to walk in someone else’s shoes if only in our imagination. Today is National Book Lovers Day. Unfortunately, we cannot eat the books we love.

Today is National Lighthouse Day. Now in the past we’ve talked about those guiding beacons on American soil. But lighthouses are not limited to American know-how. They’ve been around since before there was an America.

This is one of those beautiful stories that brings Old and New Testements together in a profound way. If you look close enough, you might even find a bit of humor there.

Long before there was a Kiddo to join us, Hubby and I loved to go to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire that was held each October in the hills across the bay from San Francisco. I was too young to attend the very first Pleasure Faire held in Marin’s China Camp State Park in 1967.

Today is the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Times. There’s nothing ordinary about today and nothing typical about my American Family.

Today is National Georgia Day. Instead of singing the praises of the great state of Georgia, I thought it might be fun to learn about a particular place. So I picked a city I was unfamiliar with, and did a little exploring.

Today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. Who doesn’t like an ice cream sandwich? I thought, let’s make one ourselves.

The very idea that someone out there felt the need to create a National Respect For Parents Day is a very sad commentary on the state of our society. Yet here we are.

Today we celebrate the Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest and founder of the Jesuits. Saint Ignatius was not a saint I was familiar with, so I went in search of information.
