Top of the mornin' to you all! Tis a fine sunny mornin' here in the frozen tundra of Minnesota! We be freezin' our arse's off a bit however with a temp of 5* above zero.
I just know my mom is doing an Irish Jig in Heaven this morning, and probably having a conversation with St. Patrick himself. She was awful proud of her Irish Heritage with her family coming from County Cork.
Lois.... I've that around here too that good used trucks are hard to find. Maybe used cars too, I wonder if it's because people are hanging on to their cars longer than they use too. Hope he finds what he's looking for.
Velda... Even though I'm 1/4 Irish, I don't actually celebrate today. I don't think I even own a green shirt to wear. And I'm not a huge fan of corner beef and certainly not cooked cabbage! I'd be such a disappointment to my Mom
Suzette... My next door neighbor was an IT person at a clinic system here and she was telling me she used to tell folks to shut down their internet modem about once a week. Mine was acting up the other day and a quick re-boot got it all going again! Their are putting fiber internet around my town and I'm wondering what that would be like.
Diane.... Wasn't Ireland just amazing! I would go back in a heartbeat just to see the green fields and a castle or two, and get some really really good fish and chips with malt vinegar!
Judi.... Did you do one of those Ancestry.com DNA tests? I would love to do one, even tho I pretty much know what I am. I would love for my kids to do one to see what other DNA they have from their Dad's side. There was talk was that DEX's Mom was part Native American.
Becca.... OH my goodness 24 Great Grandchildren... You are surely blessed! But there are two or three sets of twins in there? Will keep Gabriel in prayers.
Kathy.... Did the gremlins get in your sewing room too? They must have traveled to MA after they left my house in the middle of the night.
Maryz... .I'm guessing if you Grandfather came from Irish, he might have spoken a little bit of Gaelic. And I have no doubt that's where the red hair came from! It sure will be interesting to see if Ms. Kumquat comes out with red hair... if she has any! Oh I just can't wait!! Love the International quilt plan you've come up with.
Chriss... All my love and thoughts and prayers are with you this morning.
Jana.... Just remember... what goes in green comes out green!
POTD here is cleaning up the messes I made yesterday. Since I have ADD there are a few different projects in process... one on the living room, one on the couch, one on the dining room table. A friend is picking me up later this afternoon to attend the service for an old neighbor of ours that passed away last week. She was only 67 and such a sweet gal. Brain tumor I think I heard.
So before Marybeth gets here I better get in gear and tidy up a bit... Even though she knows me well and that my house is often in disarray!
May God always hold you in the palm of His hand
