Happy Saint Patrick's Day

I have not had to cook
since Baby Bright Eyes was born.
What a nice group of gals  here.
Mimi's friends took it upon themselves
to deliver dinner again last night.
No struggling over a stove for a few days for us.
We are very well taken care of...
thank you very much.

We have been baby-sitting
and baby-nursing 
not me nursing-that ship has sailed...or should 
I say that anchor has DROPPED.
We are delighting in every little detail of 
BRIGHT EYES life and.
someone has taken up cooking for us!
Someone realized that we are Irish~
although who ISN'T Irish on St. Paddy's Day?,
and someone presented us with homemade
IRISH STEW and IRISH SODA BREAD.
Hearty and rich.

Did I mention the 
IRISH SODA BREAD?
Did I mention that it came with 
homemade Cinnamon Butter?
Did I mention that I might have dated a leprechaun once?
I may have to show you his picture later.
He is not being very cooperative right now.
I think I hear some leprechauns right now.
Hmmmm...Could be mischief afoot here.
Oh- wait-
It is only the Dynamic Duo getting revved up for
the day.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
Hope YOUR Monday is a good one!

  22. The Irish stew and bread look so delicious, and homemade cinnamon butter, oh my!

    That's funny that you mentioned that everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day because I just saw a sign at a restaurant me and husband went to this weekend, and it said the same thing.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day Diana!

    love,

  36. Happy St. Patrick's Day from one Irish lass to another:) Isn't it nice when dinner is "delivered?" When I had my second and third babies I was in a "playgroup" of moms who were all having babies right and left. So someone coordinated a schedule (this spanned about two years, mind you) so that we all had dinner delivered every day for a week after our babies' births. It was fabulous! (Especially since I had three c-sections!) How nice you can all just focus on the baby! xoKathleen
