🍀Wishing you a Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
What are your traditions?
When the kids were little we would go to our friends house and eat lots of corned beef and cabbage. Our friends father would cook dinner for about 10 - 15 people?
He would dress up as a leprechaun, green bowler, green plaid vest and he had THE BEST leprechaun shoes, you know, the kind that had the curly toes.
My son confessed to me (just a few years ago) that he really thought our friend was a REAL leprechaun!!!!! I just looked at him and said, I know, that's why we went every year!

Here's a little joke to leave you with:
Why did the leprechaun say no to a bowl of soup?
He already had a pot of gold. 🍀
