Today is National Donald Duck Day. Gosh, we haven’t talked Donald since 2022. Hum, maybe we should. But then again maybe we shouldn’t.
Continue reading “Donald Duck and Pirate Rides”Mary’s Heart Most Pure
Immediately following the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Church celebrates the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are two vastly different celebrations. So often non-Catholics are confused by the way Catholics hold Mary in such high regard. She is not to be worships, but rather to be admired and emulated.
Continue reading “Mary’s Heart Most Pure”The Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – also the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests – is celebrated on the Friday after the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. This suggests to us that the Eucharist (Corpus Christi) is none other than the Heart of Jesus himself.

D-Day was eighty years ago today. For many of us, that’s more than a lifetime ago. Yet we as a nation remember. Or at least we should. So much of our history is being re-written to suit the lens of today. The past cannot be looked at that way. It is in the past, and must be viewed from that perspective.

I don’t understand the medical professionals at all. And I am so frustrated I want to scream. Is it too much to ask for answers?

On a Saturday morning recently, Hubby was going over our week’s grocery list while also organizing the hall pantry. That’s when he came across 2 jars of Marshmallow Cream (Fluff) just sitting on a shelf. I had intended to make a marshmallow fluff frosting, but then went in another direction.

Happy Birthday to me! It’s official, I am now older than the hills. That’s not quite as old as dirt, but getting there.
Continue reading “First We Brood, then We Celebrate”Rocky Roads That Lay Ahead
Today, like so many days, is jammed packed with National Days. It’s National Rotisserie Chicken Day and National Bubba Day. Because today is the first Sunday of June, it’s also National Cancer Survivor’s Day. In my present state of mind, I have chose to go with National Rocky Road Day.
Continue reading “Rocky Roads That Lay Ahead”Say Something Nice
Say something nice. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Speak kindly. We all know the playground rules and how to play nice. Although as we get older, those rules seem a little harder to follow, don’t they?
Continue reading “Say Something Nice”The Comfort of Cousinly Love
Of all the Marian Feasts throughout the year, this is by far the most personal to me if for no other reason than the connection of cousins. Elizabeth and Mary were cousins. John and Jesus were cousins. I grew up with cousins. They are as much my siblings as my brother and sisters are. It’s a connection I understand.

Traditionally the Feast of Corpus Christi is held on the second Thrusday following Pentecost Sunday. However; many Bishops have elected to celebrate the Mass on the Second Saturday instead.
Continue reading “Corpus Christi Thursday”It’s Another Wild and Crazy Wednesday!
Welcome to another Wild and Crazy Wednesday in my house. Actually, on our meal planner (yeah, I think ahead) Wednesdays are Wildcard. That means anything goes. Wherever the wind blows me or my taste buds carry me, that’s what’s on the menu. Sometimes I feel like throwing a dart at a board filled with recipe cards just to see where it lands. That’s how wild and crazy I am.

I can remember a time when a slice of white bread was more than just a slice of bread. Flatten it with a rolling pin, use a cookie cutter to cut out different shapes, dip in melted butter and toast in the oven. What a fun treat for breakfast toast.
Continue reading “It’s Hamburger Day!”Not Your Typical Memorial Day BBQ
This year Memorial Day Weekend is really different in so many ways. Not since returning to California in 2008 (as in Hubby, Kiddo and I) have we had an entire three-day weekend to ourselves. There has always been some sort of family gathering. But not this year.
Continue reading “Not Your Typical Memorial Day BBQ”Blessed Be Trinity Sunday
Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday within the Church. As is my custom, I’ve gone back over the last three years and re-read those posts dealing with Trinity Sunday. After all, I need to express its meaning without sounding like a broken record.
