The Wearing of the Green

© Vaudie E. Harrison

First, I guess I'd better give you a short word of explanation to account for my absence over the past few weeks. To make thinks simple and short, there were a number of personal things that just flat got in the way. Had a bunch of things to sort out and decide before I could continue these visits with all of you. Then to make things worse--if possible--my computer decided to give out with a fireworks show. Maybe it was trying to celebrate the Olympics or something--I don't know. At any rate, I'm back with a brand new computer.

However, due to the press of things around the 'ole homestead, my visits with you will have to be cut back to just once a month instead of the weekly visits that I've enjoyed for the past three years or so. Sorry about that, but I don't have any other choice. Perhaps, sometime in the future, we'll be able to resume our weekly visits--I sure hope so.

At any rate, March begins tomorrow and along with the traditional winds of March comes the traditional "St Patrick's Day" holiday. Sure, I realize that most of you don't get a day off from work or any of the other "perks" that come with some other Holidays but if you happen to be Irish it's a day to be celebrated with friends and family.

Heck, you don't even have to be Irish to enjoy the day.
