Feast!
Today is, as I am sure you are all aware, Saint Declan’s Day. If you would all kindly stop your feasting and merry-making to read my post, that would be great.
The ruins of St. Declan’s Church, seen over the flowers.
Anyone who’s ever met by blossoming two year old terror, Declan, knows that he is no saint. But he was unintentionnally named after one — Saint Declan of County Waterford. Although we had no intention of celebrating St Declan’s day before he was born, it’s not every day that you have a feast day named after you. On top of that, through coincidence, I happen to have a turkey defrosting in the refridgerator. So… TONIGHT WE DINE IN… sorry wrong movie.
Tonight we shall we feasting in Declan’s name. Yay!

Aww, that’s such a good idea to have a little celebration on a patron saint’s holy day.
When I was in grade school (at a Catholic school) we all had to do a report on our patron saint. I was the only kid who didn’t have one (there is no saint Kelly, and my middle name is similarly secular). My teacher was aghast. I wish I had a cool name like Declan!
Oh goodie goodie, another holiday to strip nekid and run through the sprinklers her in beautiful downtown Sun City .…
I am so very happy you reminded me ..now I will be sure and celebrate in my own inimitable (had to get my Funk & Waggnels out for that word !!!) style each and every July 24th …Hope you all enjoyd the turkey and I apologize for you inheriting the ‘can’t make gravey’ gene from me …ROFL Hugs to ALL
