Mamacita says: Well, my dears, here we all are once again, celebrating another new year with our real life friends and our other real life friends. When I began this blog eight years ago, it was more an outlet and an experiment than what it is now, which is an extension of, well, me. Eight [...]

Mamacita says: Oh, my dears, it’s so close now, so very, very close. There are a lot of old, boring, easily offended, humorless people out there who don’t care much for the excitement, the wonder, the sparkles and reflections and tinsel and candles and suspense and giggles and hand-clapping and jammied children and ribbons and [...]

Mamacita says: It’s been a while since I’ve done Quotation Saturday. I’ve missed it. I hope you have, too. Let’s talk about Christmas. I consider it the crown: the end of the year, the thing that makes winter endurable. Remember, Narnia was nothing but ice, snow, and bone-chilling cold while the White Witch ruled it. [...]

Mamacita says: Whether or not you celebrate Christmas has nothing whatsoever to do with being Santa Claus for someone. Call it whatever you wish: just call it something, and go forth and do it. Letting your soul curl up into a ball of resentment because YOUR religion, or lack of such, doesn’t “do” Christmas is [...]

Mamacita says: What’s a Hoosier Thanksgiving feast without persimmon pudding? A travesty, that’s what! Whoever heard of such a thing? Ridiculous. Persimmons don’t grow in too many places, so chances are good that most of you have never heard of them. However, southern Indiana is a persimmon tree’s favorite home, and the trees grow healthy [...]

Mamacita says: Happy Independence Day. And if you do not believe in that, then, Happy Fourth of July. Everyone has a fourth of July. It’s right there between the third and the fifth, so none of your lip now. . . . I was looking at all the black burn marks on the deck today [...]

Mamacita says: Happy Easter, everyone. What? Oh, oops. . . . . Here. This is more like it. I do love those vintage Easter postcards. I hated growing up and finding out that those baby kittens were probably going to eat those baby chicks. I would also hate to have to tell you all how [...]

Mamacita says: May you be buried in a casket made from the wood of a 100 year old oak That I shall plant tomorrow. Oh, tis a wondrous thing to be Irish, although the same could not be said earlier in our country’s history. Many people do not know how unwelcome the Irish were here, [...]

Mamacita says: We don’t use our front door much unless we have houseguests, and then mainly because we don’t want anybody to risk tripping over something as they follow the tiny path of nonclutter through the garage to the outer door that we mostly use when entering and exiting the house. No, we don’t really [...]

Mamacita says: Happy Valentine’s Day. Not because it’s a man-made holiday that exploits the guilt feelings of both men and women and forces them to go forth (or fifth) and spend a lot of money on flowers that will die and candy that will be eaten, but because it’s just one more excuse for people [...]
