That is not to say that Saturdays are pointless, but rather that every once in a while, a Saturday should be void of chores or errands or commitments of any kind. Simply enjoy the day.

Today we honor and salute the United States Coast Guard. Of the five branches of the Military, the Coast Guard is the 4th to be formed. It’s actually older than the Air Force, almost as old as the country itself.

Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite. Most of us are familiar with this strange way of tucking our children into bed at night. Just where did this come from?
Continue reading “Celebrating Georgia’s Big Chicken”Wild Card Wednesdays
It’s amazing how having a recurring theme on our meal plans can be both inspiring and at time confusing. Take the fact that Tequila Day happened to fall on a Monday this year. Naturally we had something Mexican to go with the Tequila instead of something Mexican on Tijuana Tuesday. With me so far?
Continue reading “Wild Card Wednesdays”Off We Go
Into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun. Many of us know the opening lines of a song often called Wild Blue Yonder. The official title is The U.S. Air Force. Robert MacArthur Crawford wrote the initial first verse and basic melody in May 1939.
Continue reading “Off We Go”It’s National Avocado Day!
Can you believe this? The last day in July! Summer is nearly over. In our neck of the woods, summer got a late start this year, but when summer arrived, it came with a vengeance! Thank goodness for AC, the cool coast for an escape and our at times rowdy community pool.
Continue reading “It’s National Avocado Day!”Carmel by the Sea Caramel Cheesecake
On this, the 30th day in July, we come together to celebrate National Cheesecake Day. Of all the desserts on the planet, Cheesecake might not be my absolute favorite (I’m not even sure I could pick just one), but it is the dessert with the most meaning to me.
Continue reading “Carmel by the Sea Caramel Cheesecake”National Chicken Wing Compromise
What are Boneless Chicken Wings? Let’s be honest – they are bite-size pieces of chicken breast that have be prepared much the same way you would wings. There’s nothing “wing” about it. But it is a compormise.
Continue reading “National Chicken Wing Compromise”Buffalo Soldiers of the Past
On this, the 28th day of July, we take a moment as a Nation to salute the brave men who once served this country in times of war and times of peace. They were known as Buffalo Soldiers. Some say this was because their hair reminded Native Americans of the hair of a buffalo, others say it was because they were admired for their fierce combat skills. Regardless, the title was one of respect and honor.
Continue reading “Buffalo Soldiers of the Past”A Twist on a Jersey Favorite
Today we celebrate the Garden State. What is now New Jersey first saw people moving into the area about 15,000 years ago, at the end of the ice age. The first European explorers didn’t arrive until 1574. Some 200 years later, New Jersey, one of the original 13 colonies, struggled for independence from British rule.

Call me a proud grandma if you want to, I won’t mind. Recently we took a mini-three day vacation along the California Coast to celebrate Kiddo’s birthday. Armed with only his smart-phone, he took some amazing pictures along the way.

One of the things that I like about the Catholic Church is that while remaining true to scripture and God’s Holy Word, it is not the only source of our faith and dogma. Oral traditions, oral teachings that have been handed down and eventually recorded in written word are also a part of our faith, our practices and traditions.
Continue reading “Saint Anne, Mother of Mary”Triple-Sinful Hot Fudge Sundae
Today on the National Front it’s both Hot Fudge Sundae Day and Wine and Cheese Day. Now I gotta tell you, I was leaning toward the whole Wine and Cheese thing. I thought about the delicious Charcuterie Board and chilled glass of Dolce we recently enjoyed.
Continue reading “Triple-Sinful Hot Fudge Sundae”Tequila Drive-Thru Day
Maybe it’s just me, and my somewhat twisted sense of irony, but it strikes me as a little off that Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day are the same day. Really? I wouldn’t think driving and tequila should be in the same sentence, let alone the same day.
Continue reading “Tequila Drive-Thru Day”Gorgeous Grandmas Love Chicken Marsala
Today is National Parents’ Day, Vanilla Ice Cream Day and Gorgeous Grandma Day. We’ve talked about Parents’ Day before, and we will again, but not this time around. I know, we’ve also talked about Gorgeous Grandmas too. Since I am a “Gorgeous Grandma” five times now, with a great grandbaby, too that’s going to be my focus today.
