P.S. This is the year of St. Paul, starting today until June 29, 2009, with all sorts of events. Maybe Paul and Janis will stumble upon one in September when they visit!

Saints Peter & Paul -- June 29th
Okay, I tried uploading a colorful painting of Sts. Peter and Paul from the internet, but it didn't work. (Francy Kitansky, how'd ya do it???) Suffice it to say that today is a holiday in Rome (pity for the working stiff that it fell on a Sunday this year) because it is the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul. Only in Rome, nowhere else in Italy, because they are the patron saints of Rome. So that means little Paul would celebrate his onomastico (name day) today if he celebrated such things. Big Paul, too. And Uncle Peter! They used to be more important than birthdays until maybe a generation ago. Happy Onomastico to all!!!

Interesting tidbit. Happy Onomastico. And a good example of how a post can be anything you feel like saying. Keep them coming all...
Hi, working stiff here... Could have had an extra day at the beach with the kids... but no such luck.
Happy 'Onomastico' to uncle Peter, Tall Paul and Small Paul!!
Love to all. Kama
