St. Patties Day



The grass is greener on the other side!  Of course it is my neighbor hires someone to take care of her lawn.  They use something called fertilizer and even water it,  I'm still trying to convince my neighbors my grass is a special blend that is naturally yellow.

Well one of the most different holidays is here, Saint Patricks day!  You have to really wonder about the Irish.  I mean lets analyze the traditions, first you take a perfectly drinkable beverage and make it green and then drink twice as much as you normally would.  Then for the big meal you have corned beef and cabbage.  Thats a vegetable your kids would never think of eating with a piece of meat that science still can't determine what you do to it.  Come on as far as holiday meals go not exactly the best of the year.  Kind of similar to having tuna for Easter.  Lets see Spiral ham, 4th of July hot dogs or hamburgers, roasted turkey or corned beef and cabbage hmmmm tough choice.  And don't forget all of this is done while wearing bright green.  Sounds like a lucky day to me.  I think my family will be digging out the peanut butter.
