Lots of "happys" this week...;)
But anyway...today is the feast of Saint Patrick!! In other words, today is the day that Saint Patrick died. (isn't that kind of sad?? I mean, I wouldn't especially want to be remembered on the day I died...maybe the day I was born, but the the day I died would be so...sad...right? And then people would be celebrating on it!!)
So, this is Saint Patrick. Say hi!
But really, he was amazing. He went through a lot: getting kidnapped, working as a slave, escaping and going back to his family, and then preaching to people that hated him! Can you imagine? So he really deserves his feast day.
HAPPY FEAST DAY, SAINT PATRICK!!!
(and if any of y'all aren't wearing green today, then give yourself a pinch for me...)
P. S. Today is also the day that Opa died 3 years ago. I'd link to the blog we had for him, but it uses our real names, so I can't. ;) But, for anyone that doesn't know, he fell on the tennis court and then later died because of the bleeding in his brain.
I'll be praying for your soul today, Opa!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
And, memory eternal for your Opa!
I don't have to wear green for two reasons today. Number one, I'm more than a quarter Irish and TWO I have green eyes. ;-)
Memory Eternal for your Opa!
