St. Patrick's Day



My paternal great-grandparents came from County Tyrone, Ireland.  The Irish blood runs deep.  Wishing everyone today a Happy St. Patrick's Day whether you are Irish or not.



Yesterday my first granddaughter turned 20.  I remember holding her when she was about 20 minutes old.  How the years have flown by.

Beautiful little Pookeroo March 16, 1993. 
 She was 4 pounds 10 ounces when she was born.  No bigger than a minute.  Like Uncle George used to say " just a little fart in a mitt".  And look at her today.  A beautiful, intelligent young woman ready to take on the world.  She is a registered Emergency Medical Responder with a passion for helping those in need.  She recently returned from a vacation in Mexico.  A gift from her boyfriend for her 20th birthday.  She has recovered almost completely from the broken ankle she received on the ski hills in Jasper in December.  She is ready now to get her resume out there to find her dream job of helping others.

Happy Birthday sweetie.  Love you to pieces.

Until next time - safe travels.
