MARCH 13 - Monday

 

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

YES, I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF IRISH IN ME BLOOD.





SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:


My grandson who is getting married.  So young and innocent.


SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT:




A HELPFUL HINT:

"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT
NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO NOT STOP TO 
CHECK YOUR CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPERS AND DO NOT 
SPRAY ANY WATER 
BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME 
MILKY, AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN 
FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE 
CRIMINALS.

Happy St Patrick... Thanks for the Irish blessings and for the good laugh. I can identify with that old lady in Something to laugh about. lol...

About the eggs in the windshield, it makes common sense, now that you mentioned it. It would have been the first thing I would have done, to turn the windshield washers on.

Children grow so fast and they leave the nest to make one of their own. Good luck to your grandson and his lovely fiancee.

Hugs, Julia

Sandi, thanks for your words of wisdom...I hope the egg thing never happens to any of us.
Happy St. Patrick's "week".
At this time of year I guess we all have a bit of the Irish in us or is it "The Blarney"???

Thanks for celebrating my Happy Birthday, Sandie!

Oh, what a privilege it's been to watch Andy grow up on your blog! I'd not heard about the egg thing before; lawdy, I might have a heart attack before crashing my car.

Saint Patty's isn't something I am into but I did enjoy this post

Ginny Hartzler said...

So is this the girlfriend he has had for a long time? Where will they live? When is the wedding?

I love those Irish blessings. They are really special when I hear them. And I love the color GREEN for St. Patrick's Day. aaahhh, look at your grandson when he was a little boy. That's such a sweet picture, Sandie. And that Maxine quote is a hoot, always love her quotes. My favorite is the simple rule in life. If only we all did this, right? I didn't know you were part Irish. It's such a wonderful heritage.

Have a blessed week, Sandie.

Congrats to your grandson.

Congrats to your grandson I also heard if someone has their bright lights on, not to flash yours back at them as they may go after you. So much to worry about. UGH Janice

I'm second generation Irish on my paternal side (I never got to know my father and grandparents, though...long story). My paternal grandparents came to Queensland from the town of Armagh, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. They settled in the central Queensland town of Rockhampton, where my father and his siblings were born...and where my now late brother, Graham and I were born.

My maternal side came from the Scottish Highlands...Highlanders, through and through. However, my great-grandmother (maternal) was Irish...she married a Highlander.

I no longer drive at night. Once upon a time I did...long trips often, too...but those days/nights are long gone.

Take good care, Sandie. :)

Happy Monday, Sandie! I enjoyed your post! I used to think I was mostly Irish with a maiden name Kelly. My DNA test says I am only 2% Irish! Hardly more than a drop or two! Who knew! I am 52% Scottish. Go figure. I will celebrate anyway! Love & hugs!

Excellent wiper advice! Sad but true.

Thanks Sandie, for the cheerful post and the many blessings.
I agree with the lady in the cartoon about our body as a garage sale.
Congratulations to your grandson on his upcoming wedding!

Theresa said...

No Irish here. But I do bring out the green for St. Patrick's Day:) Thank you for the tip on the eggs thrown on the windshield. People are crazy mean these days. Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
