A BIT OF IRISH BLARNEY AND A PICTURE OF A REAL LEPRECHAUN

 

St. Patrick's Day is coming!

Yes it is!

I grew up in an 

Irish Community

in Pennsylvania.

Do you know I believed in

Leprechauns until I was at

least 12 years old?

Yes.I.Did.

Matter of fact,

I still believe in them.

I always associate them

with Shamrocks.

And, my girls do, too.

A few years ago they blessed me

with several sweet pieces of

Irish China.

For years I took a little time

to play with it....

When we moved I gifted it to my

Irish daughter, Mindy Rose.

And shamrocks-

Lordy-I love shamrocks!

I will be putting a few of these

here and there in the

living room window

when I find them at the store.

They always make me smile.

Come St. Pat's Day-

I will be paying homage to my

Irish heritage and hoping that

THE BAD LEPRECHAUNS

don't bring me bad juju.

And there ARE a few bad

ones out there!

Now I KNOW some of you 

MIGHT NOT BELIEVE

in leprechauns

but here I show you true

and irrefutable proof.

I found this on the internet

AND as we ALL know.

EVERYTHING  we read on the

internet is true.

God be with ye and I'll be around

a wee bit later to see what

tricks you are up to.

And- I'll be back with the results

of the 

Pick Your Favorite St. Paddy's Day table.

MARCHING TOWARDS SPRING-

All Wintered Out!

I don't know about you but I thought

February would NEVER END.
Then March 
ROARED IN LIKE A LION.

We had several inches of snow.

Snow that glitters like diamonds-

so bright and dazzling 
that it would hurt your eyes.

Feathery soft,
white as an angel's wing.

coating every surface with 
shimmery sequins.

As pretty as it is, however,
I am not a SNOW person.
No.I.Am.Not.

I am MARCHing towards Spring.

I am always  TIRED of winter!

Tired of snow!

Tired of cold!

Tired of the frozen tundra.
Give me snow for Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day and then
take it away----please----

I am MARCHing towards 

St. Patrick's Day with my potted Shamrock...

the plant of  my father's mother

and her mother before her.

Other years found me
 MARCHing to the sink
 to wash the 

Irish China that my girls gave me.
However,

As we are preparing to downsize,

I let the girls arm-wrestle over

which one of them would "inherit" the

IRISH CHINA

they had gifted to me a few years ago.

Before this morning is over
 I am  MARCHing myself 

right over to 

STARBUCKS...where I will 
WALTZ IN

and order a latte.

A drink to warm my bones.
 While my heart 

longs for Spring,
my body is stuck with a
Dreary Winter Day.

I was thinking (that's dangerous)

and I told MyHero I might order 

him a nice little

LEPRECHAUN SUIT

for Saint Patrick's Day.

I'd been looking at costumes
 and I thought I 

finally found the right one.

I was all set to order until I saw that it said-

COSTUME ONLY!

DARN!!!!

I am back home but will only
be here for a few days
before going to visit
my daughter and sweet grandkids.
Oh! Look!
One is dressed and waiting for me
on the steps already!

Have a wonderful Monday.

Happy St. Patrick's Day- Got Your Green On, Do You?

Top 'O The Morning To You!

Do you love the Irish?

You do?

Oh! Goody!

Then I am on the 

YOU ARE LOVED LIST!

I finally found some shamrock plants!

If you missed my 

Shamrocks Gone Missing Post

you can read that here.

I think these are even better than the ones 

I DIDN'T GET!

Can you see that we still have SNOW?

I got the most beautiful card
on a giveaway
from my friend, Louise.
She makes  & sells these lovely cards
@Cards By Louise.
My photo does not do it justice.
Thank you, Louise.

Hmmm..what else around here is Irish
I  have my beautiful 

Crystal Irish biscuit jar 
from my daughter, Mimi.

And a Belleek vase from my daughter, Tara,

 There are Spring flowers in the foyer

along with my

Erin Go Braugh sign.

That means 

 IRELAND FOREVER!

So----

IF you believe in LEPRECHAUNS

(and I do- Oh! I do)

Maybe you will get lucky and get visited

by a real

Irish Leprechaun.

I may or may not have ordered this little outfit for 

MyHero.

Don't you love it?

Ummmm....

There's an old saying...

If you're lucky enough to be Irish you are

LUCKY ENOUGH!

Isn't MyHero lucky to have such

a thoughtful wife?

Disclaimer:  This is NOT MyHero in that costume.

He refuses to put it on and have his picture taken.

He says he doesn't like bell-bottoms.  pffffffftttt..

What a spoil-sport!

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.
