Happy St Patrick's Day

I've never really understood the meaning of St Patrick's Day other than there was alot of drinking
tied to this holiday. I wondered what it was all about so did a little research and was quite surprised
as to what I found.  The day is marked in memorial of a man who brought the love of God to the Irish.
Unfortunately it has been improperly commercialized, but I no longer see the harm in doing a few things green!  The girls woke up this morning to some Lucky Charms and we will be drinking green Kool-aid with our lunch, some green Jell-o for a sweet afternoon snack and some fun coloring pages.
They may not understand why we celebrate but I think they'll enjoy it anyways.
So for you, my friends:




                                                                An Old Irish Blessing


May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours.


So now with new found appreciation of this day,


Happy St Patrick's day
to you from all of us!

  1. Something interesting I thought about St. Patricks day was that everyone used to celebrate by wearing the colour Blue.. But now over the years it has changed.. Alot has changed.
