I found out that Martha is the patron saint of cooks and bottle washers. I know Martha Raye was a famous comedienne in the 40's and 50's, but I don't know if I was named because of her fame. My best friend's Dad always called me Martha Aashington and called my sister Marilyn Monroe. I didn't mind, although I knew Marilyn Monroe was more glamorous

And we'll always have Martha Stewart.
