Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Corned beef is in the crock pot, we started the day with green toilette water (compliments of Hannah; supposed "leprechan pee"), coins in the kids shoes and green milk with doughnuts for breakfast.

No poems from Hannah this year, but I will share a couple of fun St. Paddy's day facts and one of my favorite Irish blessings:

Did you know… 9 of the people who signed our Declaration of Independence were of Irish origin, and 19 Presidents of the US proudly claim Irish heritage, including our first President, George Washington. Also, the very first St. Patrick's Day parade was not in Ireland. It was in Boston in 1737. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Did you know that March 17th is the day St. Patrick was executed? If anyone can tell me why he was executed, I owe you a green beer.

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear; a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

God bless & Happy St. Patrick's day!!
