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!

Our first free book in April 2014, is a romantic suspense novel written for the inspirational market.

This sweet little shih tzu belongs to Sue McDonald. His name is Simon, and Sue says that he’s a wonderful little dog, very good with children and that he loves to be rocked. He looks like the perfect rocking chair companion to me, Sue! Let’s welcome Simon to the Your Pet Family – another beautiful…
Wild Word Friday! Linguists agree that the name ALASKA comes to us from a Native word. There’s some disagreement about which word and even which language. Generally, the consensus is that ALASKA means The Great Land, derived from the Aleut word alyeska, which also means “that which the sea breaks against.” I’m not here to…
Wild Word Friday! When anyone talks about WALE, I think about cloth, like corduroy, with raised ridges that are called WALEs, but I recently discovered a “new to me” meaning. In Scotland the noun WALE means a choosing or a choice or something chosen as best. As a verb WALE means to select. This meaning…
Even if your summer vacation this year is a “staycation,” you definitely need books to carry you away, and I guarantee these two will. First, dive into Sandra Saidak’s DAUGHTER OF THE GODDESS LANDS. From the back cover copy: “Kalie’s peaceful life is shattered when a brutal attack by horsemen from the east leave her…

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!
