Happy St Patrick's Day

I actually texted a friend today to tell them how drab St. Patrick's Day really is at this stage in the game. My kids too little for green eggs and ham and I'm too old for green beer and shamrock plastic necklaces that flash in the black light. Instead, there was a dash this morning to find a green shirt that was appropriate for work and a simple dinner at home. Then I went on a quest to find a picture of my kid wearing green and all I could find was this picture of a picture on green paper in front of her face. Yep, totally not as fun as it was when I was 12 or 21. But, hey at least it's an easy way to blow off a post without much work.

So here's hoping that the young ones don't get pinched for not wearing green, that the middle ones don't get a hang over from their green beer and that the old ones don't die of exhaustion trying to keep up with the other two...

and if you don't like that there is always that old irish blessing...

"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be 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 palm of His hand."

or the Celtic one...

"May God be with you and bless you. May you see your children's children. May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happinessfrom this day forward."
