Apparently, the above image is from
this product this product
: a calendar of Nuns. Having Fun.

Product Description:
Glory hallelujah—the nuns are back! Truly “habit-forming” (Maxim), the NUNS HAVING FUN CALENDAR is on a roll, with 2006 sales up 27% for a total of 96,000 copies. Who can resist these sweet, nostalgic images depicting the lighter side of convent life? In black-and-white and sepia, the photographs are from the 1950s and ’60s. Here are nuns frolicking through the waves (yes, in full habits). Nuns at the bowling alley. Nuns on a roller coaster, nuns singing, nuns in a chorus line, nuns playing jump rope, nuns on a road trip, nuns in bumper cars. Oh, and what fun they’re having! From Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone, co-authors of the New York Times bestseller Growing Up Catholic, it’s a wonderfully fresh, entertaining look at the stern-looking sisters many of us remember from our childhoods.
About the Author:
Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone are the authors of Growing Up Catholic, the New York Times bestseller with over a million copies in print. They also write the bestselling Nuns Having Fun calendar. They are, collectively, the product of 24 years of parochial school. Ms. Kelly lives in Pittsburgh.


There's also the back catalog, (as the above is an excerpt image, as well as the cover, for the 2007 calendar) seen here:

2005 2005
2006 2006
2007 2007
(the cover for this calendar is ring's image)
2008 2008
2009 2009
2010 2010
2011 2011


I'll post the covers in my next post, and see if I can't also see what else is found within these "calendar books".
