St. Patrick's Day is an event that my family has enjoyed as long as I can remember. Even though we are not Irish, we appreciate St. Patrick's Day each year. I remember the parades, wonderful food, and the enjoyment of being with family and friends. This year, my sister and I hosted a special dinner and game time to make a special night for my little grandgirls. Hopefully, they will remember this time we spent together on St. Paddy's Day.
Below are two quotes in my baking area. They remind me that blessings come even when a day starts out gray.
"May your troubles be less, and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door."
"Grandma, I wrote a poem about Four Leaf Clovers:
Clovers are good luckbut they are not much.4-leaf clovers are hard to find.Maybe you can find them in a mine.
☘ by Sierra, age 8 ☘
The poem was a surprise, even though I had asked Sierra to add one to end her scavenger hunt. Sierra was pleased with her poem, and I was happy that each child had a good time. Of course, there were small treats and candy for each little girl who finished her scavenger hunt.
Carol, what a wonderful St. Patrick's Day you had with your family. The story about the dress is so totally something a two-year-old would relate. Green, treats, a scavenger hunt, and then a poem to top it off. I am sure your heart is full. Bob
ReplyDeleteBob, my heart was full. The family dinner was enjoyable and the cake I made was a light, moist double layer cake with vanilla pudding in between. I decided to add yogurt that was so much better than vegetable oil.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun memories you created! The girls are so cute in their green! Remember “kids say the darndest things”? You have a perfect quote for that!
Diane, I remember Art Linkletter's quote that you shared. You never know what kids will say.
