Mary Yana Burau's Facebook posts started with the phrase, "It's a Great Day to..." in the spring of 2016 and reflected her positive outlook on each day's ordinary home tasks. Her Facebook page became so popular that a blog & website, itsagreatdayto.com followed. It's a Great Day to... Gather Around a Table is a 'road map' to help us

bring simple concepts into our lives;
gather those we love around us in our kitchens to enjoy good food, & most importantly,
create fellowship to nourish our hearts so we go out into the world and make a positive impact.

After all, HOME is the Nation's Safety.

It's a Great Day!
