Yesterday was a typical St. Patrick's Day in Ohio . . . snow, wind and cold. My daffodil stems are frozen. I fear that they will not rebound.
And speaking of St. Patrick, remember my yearly visits to the nun I had in grades 2 and 8? Her previous name was Sister Mary St. Patrick, until years ago when the Notre Dame sisters were able to use their given name, so she became Sister Marian Coughlin. She passed away on March 14 at the age of 97. I will be out of town or I would go to her memorial mass.
How can you adequately thank someone you've never met for a gift? I "met" Jody from Wisconsin because of the You Tube videos of my home. You can find the videos here and here. We are very like-minded and I am gobsmacked by her generosity. A surprise arrived in the mail recently. My first Arnett Santa. She had wanted to send it to me before Christmas but the artist who has them made was too overwhelmed with orders. A gift I will treasure forever. It is amazing the friends I have never met because of my blog. Thank you Jody!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

WOW that is a very generous gift. He looks wonderful! It is back to the deep freeze here too. Am so sick of cold and snow. Janice
Am sure Sister Marion had a very satisfying and fulfilling life and had a smooth transition Home.
Santa came to your house early, congrats.
Oh your precious Santa gift is just Beautiful !!!! A treasure !!!
Sorry to read of the passing of Sister Marian...but she certainly had a long - and what seems like a blessed - life. What a precious - and generous! - gift from Jody! (Wisconsin girls have good taste apparently). Snowmageddon is over here...now begins The Great Melt.
Such a generous friend to have this Santa especially made for you.
Sister Marian lived a long life. I remember that you had visited her. May she rest in peace.
We had nuns when I was going to secondary school and I still remember them but that convent was sold and made into apartments for seniors. I guess they all got too old to run the old convent.
Hugs, Julia
How blessed you are with such a sweet friend. So sorry to hear about Sister but truly what a long life. She must have been an Angel here among us. Woolie Blessings
What a lovely gift. Its a beautiful Santa. I am so sorry about your Sister, I am also so sorry about your flowers. I hope everything else is going well.
