We had a pre-St. Pat's celebration this weekend. It was pretty much awesome. We found some sweet Celtic music on Pandora (raise your hand if you love Pandora!). I got out my nice napkins. Grandpa Dean brought me sunflowers for my green vase. I donned my kelly green (Whoa! Pretty sure the last time I described something as kelly green was 1994.) sweater and my black pencil jeans (nice and Euro).
We had the most scrum-diddly-umptious corned beef and cabbage meal I ever did taste. (Get your recipe right HERE!)The experience was capped a little why later when I was driving down Talent Avenue. I saw a guy with long, fat dreds walking along in a kilt and knee socks. Perf. Gotta love Southern Oregon!
Segundo:
Speaking of Southern Oregon, I spent many a hot summer day in S.O. with Kate. We drove by the baseball fields to look at the cute boys, played Tina Arena (on casette) over and over in the T-top, swam for hours in my parents' pool, wove matching hemp necklaces, giggled incessantly over McDonalds Kiddie cones and a Blockbuster rental, and dreamed of marrying Mark and Taylor. (OK, so it was a different Mark and different Taylor that we ended up with. Ironic, huh?)
Today Kate is one year older. One year more blessed. One year more beautiful. Love you, girl.

I really love the way you write. I know you like books for children, have you ever thought about writing one?
I think you'd be really good at it! You could incorporate your love for creativity into it, still be a SAHM, and make some checks on your check list!
Just a thought! I hope you have a wonderful St. Paddy's Day- Top of Morning to You! (tomorrow!)
It's been a busy day but I wanted to say thanks for the little happy birthday wish!!! I have such sweet friends! It made me giggle. So weird that we married a Mark and a Taylor! Remember those awesome camp T's we made. "I heart gatsby" and what did mine say? Something about Mark "Mark forever" or some such silliness. I have the picture of us on the dock showing them off. Maybe I'll have to scan it into the computer and blog about it because it's funny and I know you'd enjoy it. And oh how I thought your t-top was sweet! Well it was! Don't forget about eating grapenuts and yogurt while watching the Olympics after our runs. Good thing I have you for a friend or my lame memory would forget all about the good old days! So thanks!
