It’s always a darn good day when Grammy and I have our entire family gathered together.  The Big 13!!  Sunday, March 17 was special because that was the case +  it just happened to also be St. Patrick’s Day.

Grammy and I were ready with green shamrock clappers, beads, hats (large and mini), coins and decorations.  Everyone took St. Patty’s day pencils.  It got rowdy when we all made the hand clappers go at maximum loudness simultaneously – impressive!

The leek dip was green, so were the cupcakes.  She served one of your favorites, Shepherd’s Pie ‘O Delicious.  It was a wild, whacky celebration!

During dinner the question came up: who was St. Patrick and what did he do?  I said “he got rid of all the snakes that had infested Ireland.”  Turns out it’s folklore but a very common belief as evidenced by this drawing I found online.  Go St. Patrick, you’re a badass.
