A Day for the Irish~

~our St. Patricks Day celebration began with a dinner

of corned beef, potatoes and carrots, a side of

oven roasted cabbage (a new recipe from Martha...soooo yummy!)

and soda bread~

~we then headed to the library for a chocolate tasting~

there were stories for the children, a shamrock hunt,

musical chairs, a wonderful sense of

community and the most amazing chocolate

goodness~

~it just doesn't get any better than a entire table of homemade goodness~

~shamrocks & tophats~

~the hubs playing musical chairs~

no, he didn't win, despite the fact

he just may have pushed a small

child out of the way in a attempt

to get a seat~

* just kidding*

~all in all it was a great day of green and

I leave you with my favorite Irish prayer~

May the road rise up to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and the rains fall soft upon your fields,

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm

of his hand~

Happy St.Patricks Day!
