The Feast of All Saints (305/365)

“May the good Saints protect you and bless you today, and may troubles ignore you each step of the way.”

Irish Blessing

TIME:  8:33 PM
PLACE:  Desk
SUBJECT:  St. Christopher & Our Lady of Grace Visor Clip

Today is All Saints Day – a feast day in the Catholic religion to honor all the saints, both known and unknown.  When I went to Catholic school, it meant that we always had the day off after Halloween – a huge plus. 
~*~*~
St. Christopher (who carried the Christ child across a turbulent river) is the patron saint of travellers.  This metal visor clip is usually in my Jeep, but I have plans for it tomorrow.  I’ll just be a little cryptic and leave it at that.

Roof (194/365)

“May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you and all your heart might desire.”

Irish Blessing

PLACE:  Back yard
SUBJECT:  Playhouse roof

HH and I built this playhouse for the kids back in 2003 based upon plans from the Family Fun website.  The instructions called for an outdoor, weather resistant fabric or canvas for the roof.  Last year, it really started to show wear; the colors had faded, it had a large rip in the canvas and I could see other holes beginning to emerge.  I guess, after 7 years, It was time for a replacement.  I decided to stick with a stripe pattern like we had before, but chose orange to replace the original green color.  I hemmed up the sides this afternoon and HH helped me reattach it to the structure.  It looks much better now.

Clover Or Shamrock? (076/365)

 
“For each petal on the shamrock this brings a wish your way. Good health, good luck, and happiness for today and every day.”

Irish Blessing

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  I am not a bit Irish, but I wore green today anyway.  StellaDella had me add green food coloring to her oatmeal this morning at breakfast.  It didn’t look very appetizing to me, but she enjoyed it.  Unfortunately for HandsomeHusband I did not make corned beef and cabbage for supper…I think he plans on making some this weekend.  He loves it, but I do not care for it myself.  He is more than welcome to cook it, I won’t stop him, because that means I do not have to make dinner and that is a good thing!
