Today is Laetare Sunday. I’ve always considered myself to be a learned Catholic, with a fairly strong grasp on Church Teachings and traditions. I will confess, I hadn’t a clue what Laetare Sunday meant until recently.

Now why couldn’t this be yesterday? I mean, how convenient would that have been! Lenten Friday, Oregon Day and Crabmeat Day all rolled into one amazing supper. Oh well, I guess we can’t have everything.

It’s been a while now since we vacationed in Oregon. The Oregon Coast is one of my favorite places to spend time. I had even considered retiring in the Pacific Northwest. But then that was before.

And to tell you the truth, I’m not sure what I should do with that. According to the National Day Calendar site, today we are suppose to grab our spoons and favorite cereal bowl to celebrate the most popular breakfast food in America.

Today is National Frozen Foods Day. Did you grow up eating frozen foods, as in frozen meals? You know, those T.V. Dinners that were anything but convenient. Unlike the microwave zap it in 5 minutes or less, the original T.V. Dinners were reheated in an oven; and sometimes that could take as much as an hour.

Sometimes my guys can make me a little bit nuts. But that’s part of the joy of belonging to a loving family – making each other a little nuts.

They call me mellow yellow. Great, now I’ve got Donovan singing in my head! Guess being a fan of the Hurdy Gurdy Man is letting my age show a bit. But not as much as his. Donovan released a new album last year, at the ripe old age of 76. Good for you!

Today we celebrate the 3rd Sunday in Lent. While we often hear the Sundays during Lent called Sunday of Lent; that’s not altogether accurate. While falling within the Lenten Season, Sundays are apart from Lent and therefore are in Lent while not a part of Lent.

Most families have nicknames for their family members. Growing up, my siblings had nicknames. Brother Dear, named after our father, was never calling Little or Junior. He was Jimbo. It’s the name my mother gave him, and it’s what all the adults knew him as. As for us kids, he was Jimmy. Even as an adult, he never outgrew the name.

Today is the 2nd Friday of the Lenten Season; or the 3rd Friday since Ash Wednesday. Whatever else might be going on today, for Catholics throughout the world, our attention is focused on Christ’s sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin.

Most of us know why we have Leap Years. Our calendar is based on how long it takes the earth to travel around the sun. While the calendar says 365 days, that’s not entirely accurate. It actually takes a little longer. The Gregorian calculation of a solar year is 365.2425 days, and that’s not perfect.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, or in what seems a lifetime ago, things were very different. Our lives were very different. We lived in a world surrounded by distractions. The finer things in life, including the finest of dining.

Today is National Retro Day. The name alone can mean different things to different people. In it’s original inception, Retro Day was created to encourage us to pick a point in time before the world was plugged in. Imagine what the world was like before the internet and instant news. Maybe even try unplugging for the day.

February is fading fast into the rearview mirror. March is nearly upon us. On the National Food Front, today is National Pistachio Day. Did you know that Pistachios aren’t actually a botanical nut but rather are legumes like chickpeas and lentils? Yeah, I didn’t know that. Learn something new every day.

Not that long ago, I shared with you that Hubby and I attended a Thank You Dinner put on by our Parish. It was to honor those who volunteered their time and then some to put together a month long Eucharistic Immersion Experience that actually allowed visitors to walk through the Twelve Stations of the Eucharist.
