It's a long, long way to Tipperary!

Happy St. Paddy's day, everybody!!! I hope it was wonderful. Ours was ~ very. Amazingly! It was one of those those that was nonstop. With a whole bunch of ouchie stuff out-numbering the happy stuff ~ but somehow miraculously the happy stuff still wins and saves the day. I love it when that happens.

Yesterday, I made us a crammed packed mixed cd of 48 Irish Folk songs. Which started this morning out with a bang - literally. I'm only sad that it is now midnight and I no longer have an excuse to listen to it nonstop . . . or do I? :)

We ate lunch at Dugan's - yummo. It was perfection. As it almost always is there. I had me favorite Bleu Cheese Burger, mashed potatoes and Ginger Ale. Wow. That sure did sound healthy. ;) Soooo happy though. We got to sit right beside the very awesome live Irish Trio Band. It was bliss.
After our beyond wonderful, 40 minutes in paradise, lunchin' . . . we left and went to catch up on things at the shelter. Sara doesn't care for this picture - I love it. I took it. Can I say that? It captures an oh-so-common moment we have in our lives that I hadn't been able to "catch" before. How does it hurt my heart and warm it all at once? Oh mystery.

It was a hard day there. It was. Those dogs amaze me. Absolutely amaze me.
It always helps when we are able to take one with us when we leave . . . We took little Miss Micky out to dinner and hung out with her until her foster mum arrived. Of course we made sure she wore a green collar. Of course.

. . . . then we came home. Ate Bailey's Irish Cream Pie and all lived Happily Ever After.

Shall I now catch you up on some of my Project 365 photo? Here we go:
