Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We have -6 degrees F. here. Any signs of spring where you live? How about our friends in Australia, South America, and New Zealand? Any signs of autumn? Here’s what my morning looks like on this full moon day:
Many Blessings!

On a bookshelf in my office, I keep a group of ragged books By Laura Ingalls Wilder. You can see from the photo above that they’ve been used hard and read often. If I hired a decorator to help me add a touch of the artistic to my home, I imagine she or he would…
I’m excited to give away a trade paperback copy of Lori Benton’s newest novel, THE WOOD’S EDGE! Lori is a gifted writer, and this beautiful romantic historical is further proof of her ability to bring her characters to life in a well-researched, well-presented colonial American setting. Found on loribenton.blogspot.com From the back cover: “On the…
Considered the oldest breed of retriever, the Curly-Coated Retriever was developed as early as the 1500s in England. Its bloodline may include the Irish Water Spaniel, the Poodle, and various breeds of setter.

It’s been a busy week at the Harrison household, with lots of family members coming and going. So very much fun! We also celebrated my husband’s birthday, and I’ve been trying to prepare for two separate book tours, one a virtual tour online for my eBook publisher Open Road Integrated Media, and the other a…
It’s my joy and privilege to give away THE SHORT & SINCERE LIFE OF ELLORY JAMES by Wendy Paine Miller. What a book! I think a quote from the back cover best says it all: “This heartbreaking, but ultimately uplifting tale will burrow its way into your heart…if you loved The Fault In Our Stars,…

I’m glad I had it right, Jackie. Meat and 2 veg. That’s a good way to say it!
O that dinner sounds VERY Irish Sue. That is exactly what my parents-in-law eat once a week. Also known here as: meat and 2 veg. 🙂
Probably American Irish isn’t very Irish at all as far as dinners go, Jackie! Corned beef and cabbage, onions, potatoes, carrots.
I love hearing about your visit to the zoo. What a great gift idea, and you are making such beautiful memories!! I love the idea of the memorial cross, too. I know the Pope is called of God, but I still think that has to be one of the most difficult ‘jobs’ (don’t know if that’s the right term) in the world!
I would love to know what’s on the menu for the Irish supper Sue.
We had great craic at the zoo, it was very busy , people dressed in green and generally very happy. The children loved it, last year we received a great gift from my mother-in-law : an annual pass to Dublin zoo, it is only 15 minutes away and we go there often, the zoo is located in Phoenix park a fantastic 700 acre park with beautiful nature, wild deer and stately homes, in the middle of the park is a gigantic cross known as the papal cross . The pope came to Ireland in 1973 or 1979 I forgot which date exactly and the people of Ireland came together and build the cross. Very impressive I must say.
I hope you had a great time, Jackie! In Pickford we have too much snow and cold for a parade, but lots of folks are wearing green, and Neil’s cousin is doing his annual “step dance,” which is what folks around here call Irish dancing. Our daughter will be home to visit this weekend and we are planning an Irish supper. All so much fun!
Happy st. Patrick’s day Sue and Neil! anything “green” going on in Pickford?
We are heading for the zoo, storytelling, leprechaun hunts, arts and crafts for the children, should be fun!
