Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!

We drink to your coffin. May it be built from the wood
of a hundred year old oak tree
that I shall plant tomorrow.


It's Saint Patty's day, so it also means that we celebrate Aunt Patsy's birthday.  AFTER we returned from lunch, but BEFORE we could dig into the cake, Grampa and Mike set up Patsy's new table.  Grandma G.G., who has such a sweet tooth, kept asking, "When are we going to have cake?  The table can wait!" 



The boys kept staring at the luscious cream cheese cake with chocolate icing Yours Truly made.  And they put two candles on the cake.  "She's 65?!" Christian exclaimed.  "Wow!" 


The ladies were all decked out in green.  Aunt Patsy posed with Grandma G.G. and Aunt Tonie.


The boys wanted to blow out their own candles when they received their piece of deli-cio-so cake.



Happy birthday, Aunt Patsy!  Although the family celebrated with her this past weekend, today is spent bingo-ing and lunch-ing with her friends.

May you have all the happiness
and luck that life can hold—
And at the end of all your rainbows
may you find a pot of gold.
