Just wanted to pop in briefly with St. Patrick’s Day greetings to all of my beautiful blog readers!
Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and how? I have the corned beef and cabbage ready to be thrown into the Crockpot. I’m adding baby carrots and baby red potatoes for good measure as well. My sister is in town so should be able to join us for our green meal before heading back to her home in Central North Dakota.
At our school Mass today, our youngest, who bears the middle name of Patrick (after his great-great grandfather, Patrick Byrne), will be on the altar briefly to read one of the prayer petitions. It will be just a line but I’m so proud of him for being chosen for this very special task.
Thinking green thoughts for you all today!

Kiss me, even though I’m not Irish. I’m wearing green and pulling out my Irish tunes and playing piano for the residents of an assisted living place today. I’ll bring along one of my piano students who IS of Irish decent. We’ll be spreading some Irish-themed love.
Hi Roxane,
To my knowledge, we have absolutely no Irish in my family. So St. Patrick’s Day to us is a fun wear-your-green day, but not a big celebration.
It’s the one day of the year I really lament being an elementary teacher, though. Green is NOT my favorite color, but if I refuse to wear it, my arm will be pinched all the livelong day! 😉
I hope you enjoyed your dinner. Sounds delicious! God bless your family.
Mary, way to get into the Irish spirit! I hope your session went well.
Gwen, is Stewart Scottish? Today I sang at our school’s Mass and it was so fun looking out at the sea of green. It’s never been my favorite color either, but I like it on St. Patty’s Day. 🙂 I hope you avoided all pinching! Finally, it’s so fun to see you again. It’s been a while!
