interesting, and other things in them really annoying.

"The American Frugal Housewife"
by Mrs. Child (Lydia Maria  Child) 
Twelfth Edition, Enlarged and
corrected by the author 
She had to add the word "American" to
the title because there was a book with the 
same title published in England.

The First Saint I Ever Heard of (Reposted)

The following post makes its annual appearance in this blog.

Slightly adapted from a post in one of my old blogs.

Today is the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary. People love to quote the saints, but we cannot quote St. Joseph. None of his words have been preserved.
I take that back about not being able to quote St. Joseph. We cannot quote his words, but we can, and should, "quote" his devotion to Jesus and Mary.
St. Joseph was the first saint I ever heard of, but that was because of the children's aspirins! LOL!
I like simple, homely {homely as in homelike, not, definitely not, as in  unattractive] images. I love to think about St. Joseph walking the floor when the Baby Jesus was teething.
