The Name Was The Same

There was something that puzzled me, and I mean greatly puzzled me, when I was little. In order to understand my confusion, you need to know that my maternal grandfather's first name was Nathan.
Every now and then, my family would go to

for a meal. Baba preferred to sit down to eat, so we'd go inside and enjoy table service.
My usual meal was a hot dog or a hamburger (I was crazy about their hamburgers!) a chocolate shake or a cup of hot chocolate, sometimes corn on the cob. There was one item I invariably
ordered: French fries.
So where does the confusion come in?
Remember, my grandfather's first name was Nathan.
The place was called Nathan's.
We've established these two facts.
I could never understand why we had to pay for our meals, since it was quite
obvious to me that my Grandpa owned the place!

Homily 2012-01-05 - Fr Wade Menezes CPM - St John Neumann - Bishop

Fr. Wade began today's homily by sharing some young children's definition of "love." When he told us the one about the coffee, I said under my breath, "Right." A second later, Fr. Wade said, "Right."
And those present at the Mass, and, I'm sure, many watching at home, laughed.

I actually came across this picture

Another Adoration Site

I've found another online Adoration site.
Meanwhile, I've been looking for one in Australia that I used to visit. I've forgotten
the name of the parish, and the url to the website.

Friday/Fryday

When I was a kid, I used to love the little calendars
we got from the bank, and the ones in the classroom. Each Friday was marked with
a little picture of a fish, even though these were NOT religious calendars.
This made me think that "Friday" was just another way of spelling "FRY-day."
In other words, I thought the day was named "Friday" because it was the day
on which my Catholic neighbors would fry fish!
