There is a great neighborhood Mexican Restaurant that we love. We could easily walk there from our house. Over the years, we have gotten to know the staff and even the owners. When people have come to visit us, that’s where we take them to dinner.

Today is National Fried Chicken Day. And so we must ask ourselves, just what is fried chicken? What a silly question! It’s chicken that’s fried, right? So this chicken counts. It’s cooked in a skillet, what more do we want?

It’s National Hawaii Day. It’s also Apple Turnover Day. Guess what? We aren’t doing either! If you really need some Hawaiian inspired recipes, here are a few links.

I think we need to make some changes to Independence Day – make it a 2-day Holiday every year. You need to have the 4th off for all those daytime activities such as Parades, Community Barbecues and such. But then you need the next day off if you’ve been out late watching the Fireworks.
Continue reading “Independence Day Celebration”Saint Thomas, the Apostle
Poor Saint Thomas, doubting Thomas. For an Apostle, he sure seems to get the short end of the stick. Saint Thomas is believed to have died on December 21, which by all accounts should be his feast day. After all, it is the day he was called home to Heaven.

Would you believe that there is a movement in this country called the Family Sunday Supper Movement? When I was a girl, the very idea of a movement to reclaim Sunday Supper would have seemed crazy – as in what are you talking about? Every Sunday is spent with family.

Every now and then, Hubby will stand in front of the refrigerator and “read” the bulletins. On the fridge I’ve posted two notices. The first is a menu plan for the week, the second are events scheduled in our area for the month.

What’s that – June is over? Wow, hard to believe. Today is more than just the last day in June, it’s National Mai Tai Day. And a Friday – that’s a double blessing!

Today we celebrate two very different yet indispensable pillars of faith – Saints Peter and Paul. Peter was an apostle, Paul a calculated persecutor of the early Church. And yet Christ touched both their lives, transforming them into tools of faith.

Today we celebrate Alaska, land of the midnight sun, the 49th state to join the union. Alaska home to polar bears, beluga whales and walruses.

The Catholic Church is rich in Feast Days. For us, our relationship with Christ is more than just Sunday Mass. And even Mass itself is more than just preaching and a lot of Amen! There is scripture, the Homily, and the Communion itself.

Do you have “Themes” for the days of the week? I do – it helps with meal planning. Mondays in our house are known as Mello Monday. It means, unless something really special is happening like a birthday or anniversary, Monday night our supper is simple.

Welcome to the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. There is nothing ordinary about Sundays. Every Sunday is a gift from above. It is a day of rest, to reset our prespective, regroup and recharge.

The power of three is something to behold. We are created in the image of God, and God is three beings in a single entity just as we are. There is God the Father – the intellectual existence, God the Son, the physical existence, and God the Holy Spirit, the spiritual being, our souls.
