our blarney stone

Since I have not a speck of Irish in me...it never really occurred to me to do a green post today. And so I posted pillows...but noticed most everyone else in bloggyland had gone green in honour of St. Patrick's Day. Not to be outdone...let me tell you of my Irish connection...just before the clock strikes midnight!


How many of you can say you have visited the Blarney Stone? As you know...legend has it that if you kiss the Blarney Stone...you will never again be at a loss for words. Since we have our own Blarney Stone right here in Canada...on the shores of Killarney Lake...and since I was staying at the Emerald Isle Motel nearby in Manitoba's little Ireland...kissing the Blarney Stone was quite doable.

I, however, opted to take a photo...so, though I may be at a loss for words...I have a good Irish picture for you!

I spent St. Patrick's Day with my wee grandlassie...who came with the appropriate hat. And she thought that we should play 'Patty Cake' in honour of the occasion...and so we did.


I hope you all had a wonderful, green day.

  6. For someone who does not have a bit of Irish in her, this is quite a good post! Adorable...would be the way to describe your little granddaughter in her green. If I did not know better, I would think you had quite a bit of Irish in your blood.

  13. Gosh that child is so bright and loaded with personality! I can't believe how big she's grown every time I get a glimpse of her.

    Too bad about that not kissing the Blarney Stone when it was right there! ;>
