A Wee Blog Post

Well Faith n' Begorrah, another St. Patty's Day is upon us! I posted this little poem last year but felt it was worthy of another go-around:

An Irish Poem

I wish you always

Walls for the wind

A roof for the rain

and tea beside the fire

Laughter to cheer you

Those you love near you

and all that your heart may desire.

Bill and I took a wee walk down the lane today searching for our pot o' gold but alas did not find it. I forgot my earmuffs so that was why our walk was a wee one. Still a brisk wind but nice and sunny here today.....I hear there may be snow this weekend. :-(

We drove to Bemidji yesterday (the biggest town near us) to purchase a new washer and dryer as my washer has started to leak. We have had it many, many years though so I think it is time to let it go. ;-) We picked out the ones that have more capacity and are more energy efficient. Can't wait to get them!

Bill and I are going out for dinner tonight to celebrate the 29th anniversary of our first date at the Fox & Hounds in St. Paul. Yes, the luck of the Irish was with us that fateful night and is still with us to this day (even though we don't have a bit of Irish blood in us.....although, I shouldn't say that now that there is a DNA test to see who our ancestors are.....we may just be a wee bit Irish). Since there is no Irish pub around here up nort' we will go to a local German restaurant and toast to many more anniversaries. Though this isn't a picture of our first date, it isn't far from it. I'll have to do some digging to find those pictures.....just like I'm going to dig for my pot o' gold later on.
