While the canonical books of the New Testament never mention the mother of the Virgin Mary, traditions about her family, childhood, education and eventual betrothal to Joseph developed very early in the history of the church. Of course Mary had a mother. She was the maternal grandmother of our Lord.

This year instead of a traditional vacation (leaving home for an extended period of time), we decided to enjoy a Staycation. A Staycation let us explore things nearby while sleeping in our own beds most nights. We had no real plans. And that added to the adventure.

Today is National Merry Go Round Day. What child does not love a Merry Go Round? What adult does not have fond memories of a Merry Go Round? It’s only fitting that the magic of a Merry Go Round have it’s own special day.

May gives us Mother’s Day. June gives us Father’s Day. So it stands to reason that July would give us Parents Day. Parents play in important role in the lives of their children.

Today is the 4th Saturday in July. That means today is The National Day of the Cowboy. While there are several National Days celebrated on July 23, the National Day of the Cowboy is one of those moving dates celebrated on a particular Saturday in July.

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Mary Magdalene. She was an early follower of Christ, a financial supporter of His ministry, and present at two of the most important events of salvation.

Today is National Junk Food Day. While we’ve talked a lot in the past about junk food, I have yet to share what can truly be a junk-food-recipes. Junk foods, by definition, typically contain high fats, sugars, salt, and calories. Most importantly, junk food contains little to no nutritional value. Hence Junk.

It’s amazing how little things can become a source of inspiration. One day I saw a giant jar of New Mexican Hatch Chili Sauce for sale. Didn’t have a clue what to do with it, but I knew inspiration would come.

Good Day Monday! How are you today? On the National Front, today is Caviar Day. I don’t know about you, but these days with the soaring cost of everything, Caviar is not on the horizon. Not even the cheap “Lump Fish” variety.

One of my fondest memories as a girl was home-made ice cream. I can remember standing in line with my cousins awaiting my turn at the hand-crank ice cream maker. Can you imagine? Kid power – and we made the ice cream outdoors.

One of the things that I love about the Catholic Faith is that it sprang forth from the Jewish Faith, and continues to embrace many old traditions with new meaning. The similarities are not hidden. The candles and prayers of Advent and Hanukah immediately spring to mind.

Hooray to Fridays. I love Fridays. Hubby taught me to love Fridays. As a girl, Fridays were not loved. Fridays meant fish sticks in the winter, egg salad in the summer. And cat fish when Dad and I went fishing. That’s it.

Do people actually drink Grand Marnier? I ask because I’ve never poured it into a glass to drink. To me, Grand Marnier is that ingredient used to elevate the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Today is National Delaware Day. We’ve talked about the great state of Delaware before – a state of firsts. The first to build a log cabin, the first to fly the Stars and Stripes, and the first to declare independence. Delaware has much to be proud of, much to celebrate.
