In our ongoing attempts to make different seasons special, we had our annual St. Patrick\u2019s Day feast. Despite the hijacking of the celebrations by the militant Left, we remember the traditions of the Old Country. \u00a0We watch Irish videos (yeah, videos). \u00a0We listen to good old authentic Irish music. \u00a0Maybe, if we\u2019re lucky, we catch a showing of Disney\u2019s should-never-be-forgotten fantasy classic Darby O\u2019Gill and the Little People<\/i><\/a>. \u00a0And we have our feast. \u00a0This year, owing to schedules, we moved the meal to Sunday, instead of Tuesday. \u00a0I took Monday off of work, and my wife, still looking for full time work, has Monday off. \u00a0So that was a day buffer to recoup. <\/p>\n

Then it was off to the car mechanic Monday morning to find out in $513.00, I\u2019ll get a new axle repair. \u00a0Which can wait. \u00a0And for our situation, that\u2019s not bad. So good tax news, and at least acceptable car news, all we need now is good health news, and we\u2019ll be able to kick in and get some serious praise and thanksgiving to the Almighty. <\/p>\n

So here are some shots of our dinner, our awesome meal, which was made up of Dublin Coddle, baked cabbage, soda bread, potato and leek soup, and whiskey glazed carrots, seed cake, with of course an obligatory shot of our boys at the Warren Harding memorial. \u00a0The stuff that life is made of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
