Top of the Morning to you!

Did I mention that my lovely niece, Trisha, is doing a TON of geneology for our family tree and just recently discovered that we are a wee bit Irish??!! 

Well that certain explains my love for ...




and this ...




I remember as a child scouring our yard for these ...





For a short time I had a sweet redhead named Ginger ...



Which brings me to what's for dinner tonight ...






We're celebrating my daughter's birthday tonight, and one of her FAVORITE meals is corned beef and cabbage.  We usually only make this on St. Pat's day, since that is when the price of corned beef is a bit more reasonable, but given this is her special day and the fact that she's worth every penny, we're splurging and making her favorite dinner. 

And for dessert her favorite PIE from Village Inn!!





But the sweetest thing I'm looking forward to enjoying tonight is ...

Yep ... my grandson Jonas!  He's more fun than a box of Lucky Charms!!
