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 😊
