Happy St. Patrick's Day

Looking and looking........

So, I was way too tired to run to the bank on Friday to get my dollar gold coins for St. Patrick's Day so I left a letter from "Lucky the Leprechaun" saying that he had "left" a stash of gold coins for the kids to find, but they were hidden so well, that they wouldn't be found for a couple of days.  (Not until Monday when the bank opened.)  Well, the kids were fine with that and the three littles had fun looking around the house for the gold coins.  Once today hit, I ran to the bank and requested my dollar gold coins.  No where to be found!!  What???  So, I handed out dollar bills and the little kids are still looking for the gold coins.  And they'll be looking and looking.......

I did make green pancakes for breakfast though.  Those were interesting.  :)

Lucky & Blessed

"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."  --Irish Blessing


Blessed indeed.  Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody!

-- Lucky

I've been busy playing "Lucky" the leprachan by getting the house all torn up and decked out ready for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. I tipped over the furniture...


































Threw out shamrocks and gold $1 coins...





































Made pots-o-gold complete with gold wrapper candies...

















And...

Filled out my NCAA tournament/March Madness/D's Christmas brackets.

















I've got a good feeling about it this year. I smell a win in my future. I'm feeling lucky. As for D and his Christmas, ya, he's taking off work the next couple of days. He'll sit on the couch, run to Pei Wei, change the channels like crazy, drink his Dew, run to Zaba's, check out all our brackets, and be in March Madness Heaven. ALL weekend. So, the good wife that I am, I'll be leaving town with the girlies and letting him eat it all up. He deserves it. You know? This is the guy that let's me leave the country every December, let's my sister come down with her five children, puts up with mountains of laundry, and the list goes on. I'm going to go interview my family Veterans to get a greater appreciation for their service and their perspective on being a Veteran. I'm going to make it into a book for my children this year.

Anyway... go grab your green shirt, green earrings or something so that you don't get pinched.

St Patrick's Day food? Na. Don't do corned beef and cabbage and green milk and biscuits is just a turn off. Yuck. Perhaps waffles with green sprinkles for breakfast. That's about it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

















And to you D, Merry March Madness. Love you!
