Happy St. Patrick's Day to ye all.

Just got home from a lovely evening at the Shamrock with Bart, Barb and Marlies.   I had a corned beef dinner.  Reintroduced myself to the owner and he said that they might be able to work something out for the Celtic Club on the third Thursday.   I am hoping that Friday will work for our people, as they open at 11:00AM on Fridays but 4PM the rest  of the weekddays.

Anyway, a lovely evening.   Music and all but surprisingly, not Irish music.

Celtic Club of Lawton met today.    We went to the Shamrock to find them not open.    They have changed their hours.   They now open at 4PM from Monday through Thursday.    Not enough lunch crowd I guess.  So we went to McAllisters' down the street.    There were six of us today.    We decided not to meet next month as I will be gone and Robbi can't come for sure.   The following month, June,  we are going to try to change our meeting day to Friday at 2PM in the third week.   The Shamrock is open on Friday from 11AM and we do like it there.    I now have the number of the owner so can confirm our welcome.

We talked about St. Patrick and lots of other Irish and Scottish things.  Altogether a good meeting.

It was a beautiful day, up in to the 70s and is supposed to remain that way for the next while.   Possible rain on Sunday.    We sure need it.

Another lovely day in the upper 60s with the sun shining.   A bit of a breeze but very pleasant.   We really really need rain though and except for a very small chance on Sunday, no prospects.   Our fire danger is high to extreme so we REALLY need it.

Went to Mass and Bible Study this morning.   We are discussing the upcoming Sunday readings until after Easter.   We only got through the first reading from Jeremiah where it says "I will be their God and they will be my people."     (Always one of my favorite quotes.)   and the Psalm.    We always have too much to say and were talking about the fact that we should be more aware of when people need us.   Not just family and friends either but all of God's children.   The secular world calls it Random Acts of Kindness or Play it Forward.   God came up with it first.

We are not meeting again until after Easter.

I did some grocery shopping and cleaned another window this afternoon.   I am getting close to having the inside of the windows done.    Makes me feel good.   I am DOING something again.   Yea!

Was home all day.    Just puttered around the house, sewing, cleaning and cooking.

Not very exciting but I will be busy tomorrow with Bible Study and all.

Nicky is laying on my lap in the office snoring his little head off.   Boy does that guy snore.

A busy day.    Quilt Guild was tonight and I had signed up to bring the savory treat.

SO - I baked a loaf of Irish Brown Bread and cut cheese for a cheese platter.  

The meeting was fun.   But the demonstration of binding was confusing to me and went on forever.

Altogether a good day, though it was a bit cooler again.   In the 50s.    Supposed to be cool for a day or two then warm up again.
