That’s a great find! The calendar is beautiful–and functional again! It’s a little micro look at the past, the present and the future.

My mother was Catholic and my father Presbyterian. Every Friday my mother cooked fish and my father complained, “that it was too Popish!” and every Friday my mother would say, “Oh my is it really Friday, I keep loosing track of the time.” We all bowed our heads to hide a giggle. Thanks for the memories.

Oh my gosh–I remember those calendars from my childhood (not from 1942, mind you!) with the little red fish and the saint’s days land all. Interesting illustration for the time, isn’t it?

I thought when I first saw the shot, your take on times gone by was the illustration, which was apt in itself!!! Amazing that you have a 1942 calendar.

It’s always handy to know the saint’s day. Your photo reminds me that being a packrat is not necessarily a bad thing! Now to convince my husband…

Wow, what possessed you to keep a 1942 calendar? What day of the week was my birth (Nov. 16)?

A very nice calendar, obviously kept for a special reason, and I really like that it has all the Saint’s days listed.

That might work here in Queensland, they say we are twenty years behind the times plus one hour, the dates are right too
