Today is a special day for our family and for all families!We Celebrate the feast of St Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and the patron of families.
Since we have two members in our family that have him as a patron, Tim and Brendan,
I was hoping to do something different this year.
If we were all healthy I would have loved to have gone down to Little Italy to participate in a St Joseph's Altar
Hopefully next year that will be possible.
A neat thing did happen today though. I was talking to Suzanne last night and she was telling me of the Italian tradition of putting toasted bread crumbs on the food at dinner to represent the sawdust in the carpenter's shop. Well, I really haven't felt well and didn't have the energy to get a real traditional type dinner together, but Paula asked if she could bring us dinner. And when I opend up the casserole dish it was a dish topped with bread crumbs! I just love stuff like that.
And Paula is a real sweetie! She saved my boys from eggs!
Anyway, send up a prayer to St Joseph for your family today!
I just love this picture. He looks so enthralled with the Baby Jesus.
