HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

We have been celebrating with lots of green and topping the day off with shamrock sugar cookies.

Have a delicious St. Patrick's Day

AN IRISH FAMILY TRADITION

was brought over to us tonight by Grandma Joan - a sprouting potato....Let the potato sprout a few more days, cut into wedges and leave out to seal.
Plant in soil and when it grows, you dig them up and you have a "pot of gold"en potatoes to eat!

Thanks Grandma Joan!

WE HAD A TRADITIONAL MEETS

Green Gala for St. Patrick's Day dinner.

The traditional - corned beef, cabbage, Irish soda bread, green beans.

The Green Gala - pesto mashed potatoes, green Grandma Joan rolls, green lemonade....

And the evening was finished off with rainbow cupcakes, fresh whipped cream (for the clouds) and chocolate coins, which we all would love to find at the end of the rainbow.

I hope your dinner was as delicious and fun as ours.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

MY HEART WENT PITTER PATTER

when my mom gave me this Irish linen today.... She had picked some up when they were in Ireland and thought I'd appreciate it.
I do, I do, I do!!
It's out already and will be on display for the next 21 days.
Thanks mom!!
