Wordless Wednesday "College Edition"

LOL....a friend was scanning these and sending pics like these out post 10 year college reunion. Ah the past - these were GOOD times. Especially with overalls - I LOVED overalls. I hope they come back - they were the best part of the 90s (and check out that antennae on the phone. Awesome)!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

Lovely wishing us all a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick’s Blessing

May peace and plenty be the first to lift the latch on your door,
and happiness be guided to your home.

May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings,
slow to make enemies and quick to make friends
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.

May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door.
May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.

May the lilt of Irish laughter lighten every load.
May the mist of Irish magic shorten every road.

Always remember to forget
the troubles that passed away
but never forget to remember
the blessings that come each day.

May the face of every good news and the back of
every bad news be towards us.

May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been,
the foresight to know where you are going,
and the insight to know when you have gone too far.

And may God who blesses us with so many gifts grant us the
peace for ourselves and the nations of the world.

Barely Wordless Wednesday - "St. Blaise's Candles" Edition

Well, this is ALMOST wordless, but I get a lot of pics to remember it by too!

Today is the Feast of St. Blaise, and last evening to prepare, Lovely and I had fun! She colored a page on St. Blaise (even reported to Daddy about St. Blaise) and then we spent time making candle cookies (first created from Family Fun magazine, and then done here as well). It was VERY fun constructing them!!!

We used sugar free shortbread cookies and vanilla wafers for the base, but the rest was close to the printed "recipe." Lovely had a blast (especially making orange sugar), and it was fun to just sit together & talk faith and fun, all about the feast day, and to laugh and learn. I love having time with her like this!!
