Warm Irish Wishes

 

 These things I warmly wish to you:
Someone to love
Some work to do
A bit o' sun
A bit o' cheer
And a guardian angel always near.

I'm spending today outside in the sunshine.  Yesterday I had the windows open for a while, swept the back porch and did a little sittin' out there.  And, surely the fairies and leprechauns have planted notions in my head concerning a new layout for my sewing room.  There's definitely furniture moving in my immediate future.

An Irish Toast for ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

 
There are many good reasons for drinking,

One has just entered my head.

If a woman doesn't drink when she's living,

How the hell can she drink when she's dead?

Bits, Pieces, and Blarney

I routinely jot down funny, random or interesting ideas so I can expand on them later for this blog. As I looked through my notes to begin writing, I realized that some of them don't need expansion or explanation. They are good enough on their own.

So, enjoy!

When a friend needs duct tape, don't ask questions and don't offer advice...just deliver her the roll with a smile. And be sure to wipe off your fingerprints just in case.

Life would be easier if everyone came to the realization that you just can't fix stupid.

If the stands at Bristol are less than half full for a Sunday race, something is very, very wrong with NASCAR. There was once a waiting list for tickets and it was only used if someone died.

You don't always need a reason to give someone a hug, a hand, or a call.

You might be a redneck if you've used Channel Locks or Vise Grips to pull the cork on a wine bottle. (guilty)

Children should be taught to stand on their own two feet and be independent. They are not entitled to indefinitely live with or be supported by their parents.

It's not denial...I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Signing off with this belated St. Patrick's Day quote:

A Bit 'O Blarney

Like a little Leprechaun, I spent last week running around: errands, celebrating my sweetheart's birthday, buying and loading gear for the RV, and more.  I spent a peaceful day in the warm sunshine trimming, raking, pruning — spring cleaning for the yard.  
Enjoy a few photos of my pretty flowers and shamrocks. 


Happy St. Patrick's Day!


For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

When Irish eyes are smiling,
'Tis like a morn in spring.
With a lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
