A LITTLE BIT 'O' IRISH AT MY HOUSE----

Do you ever wonder what

others see when they are

standing at their kitchen window?
Today,

as I was standing at my

kitchen window I looked

over and saw this....

and this

which are both part of this.

This window faces dead West
so it is always bright here.
If you peek through the
glass you will see the
girls' playhouse
in the background.
Closed now for the winter,
it will soon be open
for Spring business...
the business of dress-up
and make-believe.

But for the moment,
I am content to look at my
SHAMROCK PLANTS
because they remind me
of home and the Irish
heritage that came
from my father's side
of the family.

I am then inspired to bring

out the beautiful vase

that my daughter purchased while

she was in Ireland...

and the little

Irish music box..

Can it be a music box

if there is no box involved?

hmmmm..

Something to ponder~

Oh and this!!!!!.She's a beauty, isn't she?

Covered with shamrocks and

kissed by gold accents...A piece that makes me

smile every time I look at her. 

Now, you tell me,

how is it that the FRENCH can 

make such a beautifully inspired

Irish piece!

I apologize for the picture quality
and size.  
I am having so much trouble
pulling pictures since I got this
new computer and I can't seem to
resize them using the normal methods
I have always used.
Sometimes it works and sometimes
it doesn't....kind of like me!
Anway--onward---

Sorry- I  know it is a tad out of focus-

Kind of like my eyes in the morning.

The bottom has an Irish greeting

for St. Patrick's Day.

Overall, it looks like this.
~Erin Go Bragh~
I am adding this after someone
commented they had to look it up 
a while back.
You know THAT means
 someone that is 
NOT IRISH 
reads my blog!!
Whoo Hooo
Anyway-
Erin Go Bragh means
Ireland Forever

MyHero said he thinks it looks like a 

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENT

I told him THAT COULD BE arranged!

And YOU know what I mean by that!

A Shamrock Kind Of Sunday To You And A Little Limerick

There once was a Nana named Diana,

That had a grandgirl named Anna,

To honor the sweet miss,

She set up a dish,

But forgot to put out the banana.

Ah-yes---I might have neglected to get a

BANANA

but I did remember to make 

SHAMROCK COOKIES!

they are the blob to the left on the plate

Bet you want to see more of that

cute little table,

don't you?

Well, that is not gonna happen today.

I do, however, have another 

LITTLE LIMERICK 

for you.

MyHero said- Let's go for a ride,

We'll rent a room-it'll be exciting inside,

So I said, Yes, with a grin,
but found much to my chagrin,

He had forgotten the TV guide.

Welcome to MY EXCITING life..

Have a wonderful EXCITING Sunday!
Hope you remembered to set your clock ahead.

A Belated Irish Blessing

I should have posted this yesterday

when Irish Eyes were

all on beautiful Irish things.

However,

better late than never.

I was not blogging

when my youngest daughter

got married 6 years ago.

My older daughter

(who was carrying SweetCheeks

just under her heart in this picture)

posted this the other day

and I just had to share it.

My oldest son is missing from this

sibling picture.

BUT----Here is:

Mama's Boy, Mimi & MomtoSweetCheeks

I wish my father could have seen 

this beautiful  girl.

He would have said she looked like

an Irish road map.

And so she does.

She is Mom to the two thumbsuckers...

They look pretty Irish to me themselves~

Have a wonderful Monday

and I hope none of you drank too much of this celebrating St. Paddy's day.

and...if you did.....well....

God bless your wee headache!
