Today is both the second Ember Days of Pentecost and National Wyoming Day. As the second Ember Days of Pentecost, it naturally falls on a Friday. In our house, that means no meat.

World Turtle Day is celebrating its 4th birthday. Established in 2020 by the American Tortoise Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to protect our turtles while educating the public. Turtles belong in the wild, with the exception of a chosen few who act as ambassadors around the world.

Coming up with recipes to share day after day ain’t easy. Thank God for my compulsive nature and that I have 196 cookbooks in my collection thus far. The oldest is from 1899; the most recent was a gift from Kiddo for Mother’s Day.

Springtime in our part of California only means one thing – lots and lots of street fairs, farmer’s markets and spending time outdoors. The town of Lodi (as in CCR’s stuck in Lodi again) holds a spring and fall street fair. Both are huge and oh so much fun.
Continue reading “It’s All About Strawberries and Cream”Holy Mary, Mother
When you consider the life span of the Church, under the direction of the First Pope, Peter, appointed by Christ, we’ve been here a very long time. From that perspective, a Devotional Feast Day proclaiming Mary, Mother of the Church is very new indeed, having been established in 2018.

Do you know the origins of Pentecost? For Catholics, it signals the end of the Easter Season. But did you know Pentecost is very much rooted in Judaism?

There are a lot of things going on today on the National Front. It’s No Dirty Dishes Day and Armed Forces Day. We’ve celebrated both in the past. Since I’ve been more focused on the Church as of late, I thought it would be nice to talk about a man I truly admire. Today is his birthday.

May 17th. May 17th. The date just keeps turning over and over again in my mind. May is nearly behind us. How is that possible? We just got home from the cruse in March. How can it be May already? Wow.

It seems fitting that the Way of Saint James and Scallop Day share the same date. After all, the Scallop Shell is a symbol of the Way of Saint James.

Today is Chocolate Chip Day. So I bet you were expecting cookies. Yeah, that isn’t want I wanted to do today.

Who is Saint Matthias, Apostle? To begin with, his name means “Gift of God.” He was not chosen by Christ as an Apostle, but was chosen to replace Judas to restore their number to twelve. Matthias was with the Lord since the Jordon River, and a witness to the Resurrection.

I’ve spent the better part of this morning doing all sorts of stuff to make room for my inheritance. While I could tell you about the wonderful things I’ve received, I think it would be best to just share the pictures.
Continue reading “My Inheritance”Behold Our Lady of Fatima
We’ve been hanging out, sharing memories, thoughts, and recipes for a long time. I dipped my toes into the blogging world in October 2017. That year my grand total of posts shared was one. That’s the equivalent of my average daily posts over the last 3 years. Wow – guess once I got the ball rolling, there was no turning back.

It’s five o’clock in the morning. The first hint of the golden slivers of a new day begin to stretch across the sky as the world slowly wakes. Hello Monday. It’s been a long, sleepless night for me. How ’bout you?

As Hubby and I drove up into the foothills to attend yet another community gathering in Knights Ferry a few Sundays ago, we chatted about Mother’s Day. He wanted to know what I wanted – after all, it was my day.
