May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

That is an Old Irish blessing, one of my favorites! Ahh gotta love this day! My kids were both decked out in their green today! Brax especially liked it, he is funny. At preschool today they got to find the gold coins, he loved that (thanks Beth)! We had a special lunch with Dad today and then we played OUTSIDE yippee! It was 66 last I checked and it is about time! Jozalyn loved her baby swing and Brax thinks he is so big to be in the big boy swing. As I gave them underdog after underdog, I thought what a simple joy a swing is to a child. It gives you that funny feeling in your tummy that makes you smile and laugh. Jozalyn was giggling hysterically! So hopefully this is not just a tease of sunshine and it will stay for awhile!
I was thinking I would make corned beef and cabbage tonight for a traditional Irish meal and then I thought no way no-one in my family would eat it, so I will make green things that are yummy instead! I will end with an Irish prayer also a favorite!

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
