IMG_3687 Thanks for your great dinner suggestions! Here is what we (by we, I mean I) have decided on:

Corned Beef Sandwiches w/Sauerkraut
Roasted Parsnips and Cabbage
Boxty (Grilled Potato Cakes) topped w/Applesauce
Dessert – has been delegated to the ever capable McKissicks (phew!)

You know what they say about Boxty right?

"Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan,
If you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man"

So all you single ladies, just get on that.

We started the afternoon off with a trip to the market & then the party store for 6 balloons. Upon putting them in the car, one of them popped. We were down to 5. We brought them home, put Kate down for a nap, decorated the table, and played with the balloons.

Probably not a good idea to play with the balloons outside, but it was St. Patrick's Day and I was feeling adventurous. Immediately after this picture was taken, 3 flew up into the air and immediately after that, one popped on the back of the iron patio chairs (which you will notice have still not been painted) Leaving someone feeling a bit a bit sad. And then there was one. Which was held onto ever so tightly. And now that single ballon is rocking the living room- looking oh so festive and St. Patrick's Day-ish, all by it's lonesome little self.

 I remembered a special St. Patrick's Day treat I purchased (I am a total treat monger) last weekend which got the thumbs up (as does everything these days. There is no 'yes' or 'no', just thumbs up or down)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I almost forgot to wish Patricia a Happy Birthday today! How lucky to be born on St. Patty's day! I miss you!
