Happy St. Patrick's Day

 “May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.”

An IRISH blessing to start off the blog today!  Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and yours!  Giselle and I stepped out into the sunshine today and headed to Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens, where we witnessed them dying the water green for St. Patty's Day!  It was ALMOST as neat as watching the Chicago River being dyed, however it was on a smaller scale.  Giselle was amazed at the bright green water and she loved trying the Green River soda for the first time.  The SUN was shining, the IRISH music was playing, the water was GREEN...what more could you ask for??!!! 

Corned beef and cabbage?  Ah yes.....the house smells amazing right now!  We are cooking corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes with Irish soda bread for dinner. 





CHEERS!!
