St. Patrick's Day

My favorite holiday is coming up and that is St. Patrick's Day!  It's not really a holiday, per se', but to me it is!  It should be a day off work for some people, but it's not.  When I was younger, we always had to have our green on.  And then when I had my own kids they always had to have their green on and I would always make a green cake with green frosting for dessert.  I love that I'm Irish and I look forward to this day every year!  Here are some of my favorite Irish sayings....

Here's to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!

May the luck of the Irish
Lead to happiest heights
And the highway you travel
Be lined with green lights.

May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door.

Wherever you go and whatever you do,
May the luck of the Irish be there with you.

As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point the wrong way.

May everyone have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

Shamrocks

Today I'm going to show you something I made, since this is the month for St. Patrick's Day.  I love anything Irish and I wanted something to hang from my car rear view mirror.  I googled for a shamrock shape and enlarged it to the size that would work well for my project.  Like this

I found some material that I liked at the local craft store.  Of course, it had to have shamrocks on it.

I just sewed them together, left about a 2 inch opening so I could stuff it with polyfil.  Clip the curves and turn it right side out.  Then, you stuff it and hand stitch the opening.  I added some embellishments like ribbons and some little tibetan silver charms that I purchased on ebay.  

I think they turned out pretty good.  What do you think? 

ERIN GO BRAGH!!!!!

Voting

How many of you went to vote today?  I've been living in Michigan for almost 4 yrs and today was the first time I voted in Michigan.  It was easy and fast.  I have to say I'm a democrat.  I just can't understand the fascination people have with Trump.  He's arrogant and I just think he would say the wrong things to other heads of countries and we would be in a war in a minute.  Why can't people see that?  Just because he's belligerent and arrogant doesn't mean he will make a good president.  

Imagine

Imagine if life was all roses and wine.
Imagine if there were no hurt or death.
Imagine if everyone could get along.
Imagine if there were no divorce.  Hmmm, that wouldn't be very good.  There would probably be more deaths!  Ok, don't imagine there were no divorces! LOL
Imagine if there were no hurt animals.
Imagine if every child had a loving home.
Imagine if no one ever was hungry.
Imagine if a grandmother could talk to her granddaughter.
Imagine if a daughter wasn't so coldhearted and vengeful.
Imagine if your sister was a better sister.
Imagine if life was easy.
Imagine if life were perfect!
Imagine if.............

Reba

I told you in a recent post that we have a ragdoll cat.  She's 5 and just so beautiful!  I got her when she was a few months old.  I saw her on the ragdoll site and just fell in love with her.  They had already named her Reba, so I kept that name.  I love Reba McIntyre, too!  Reba is a big, fluffy and soft cat.  She likes to be kept to herself.  She doesn't like to be held.  Her nickname around here is "The Queen Mum".  LOL  She thinks she's queen of the house!  Anytime we have any empty boxes laying around, she loves to jump in them and go to sleept.  But, that would be me!  Haha!  Here are a few pictures of her.  Let me know what you think.  Isn't she beautiful?

A few weeks ago we went to the snow and ice carving festival in Frankenmuth, MI.  It was an awesome time.  It wasn't too cold.  I think it was the right temperature to keep the carvings cold enough and warm enough to keep people from freezing their tails off!  We walked up and down the streets to make sure we saw everything that was being shown.  I love Frankenmuth!  It's a nice little german town in Michigan.  Here are few of the highlights that we saw.

 

If you get a chance, you should really try to check this city out.  You won't regret it!

Life with Coco, my mini yorkie.

I love my little Coco! She is the best fur baby ever! She hardly ever barks. When she wants to get your attention she will sit in front of you until you see her. If you don't see her, she moves out a little further until you do. That means she has to go out. We, also, have 3 cats. One is a ragdoll and then two siamese. When they are getting into mischief, we yell at them and Coco comes running to wrangle them up. Needless to say, she is smaller than all of them but in her mind she's a big saint bernard! It's so funny. Here is a picture of her laying in her princess bed.

It seems like I've been gone forever! Let's start with July 4th. It was an awful day, it rained the whole day! Luckily, we didn't have any outdoor plans for that day. Although, the fireworks got postponed until the 5th. We did have burgers and hot dogs on the grill. I made potato salad and fruit salad. Heather made deviled eggs and pasta salad. And I threw this together for dessert. It's a pound cake that I cut in half horizontally, put some strawberries on the bottom half then put some cool whip on top then added the top part of the cake put some cool whip on top and then added blueberries and strawberries on the top. It was really good. On Sunday, the 5th we went down to Fairbanks Park. They had music playing and we sat there and listened to it and they had vendors you could get food and drinks from. Brianna got this balloon hat, it has two dogs on the top of it kissing. She also got an ice cream cone, as you can see.

There ended up being a lot of people that showed up. They had some people dressed up in the olden days that walked around and talked to people and had there picture taken with them.

Then when it got dark the fireworks started and they lasted for a good half hour to 40 minutes. Here is one of the pics of them.

My brother, Kevin was driving back home to Texas from Connecticut via Plattsburgh, NY and then through Montreal, Canada. Him and his daughter, Emily, stopped here on their way through and stayed the night. Every time I see him he asks me if I will make some whoopie pies. I usually don't have the recipe with me so this time I made him some and he loved them. If you haven't ever had one, they are like Drakes devil dogs. He was soooo happy!

This is Emily and Brianna. They were playing with the Nintendo DS's. They had fun together.

The next morning I got up made coffee and biscuits and gravy, also scrambled eggs and bacon. Brianna came over and had breakfast with us. I took a few pics before they left. It was good to see them.

Here they are getting on his bike. They were headed towards Memphis and were going to stop at Graceland. You can see all the dirt in the background. We are trying to find the leak in our water line. What a mess!!

That's all I have for now. I hope everyone is having a great week. Stay safe!

Hugs,

Kathy

Happy 4th!

Just wanted to stop in and say I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!
"God Bless America!"
