Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Funny Pictures:

Well, here it is, St. Patrick's Day ... the day where we risk getting pinched if we don't wear green. A couple of years ago, my step-girls, Shanna and Cheri (the last two on the right), ran a Shamrock race in Seattle:

They grabbed these boys for a pose:

A couple of a weeks ago, our daughter Kristin was in Guatemala on a medical mission trip. She said that the soldiers were busy taking pictures of her, so she said she wanted a picture with them. They said okay, and she said, well, don't I get a gun? Kristin said that she couldn't believe it when they handed her a loaded one:

Our grandson Casey is all dressed up for his part of a wildlife biologist in Thursday's school play. He told the audience about sea turtles. I so wish that we could have been there, but there was another snowstorm on the pass, so instead, we are going to watch the DVD soon:

Shanna's soccer team posed for this picture in the 80's for their coach, and as soon as I saw it on FB, I grabbed it. (In fact all of these pictures came off of FB, so don't take them, because I am already in enough trouble!)

So, Happy St. Patrick's Day, remember to wear green, and I hope that I made you smile!

LOL! Yes, these photos made me laugh! I can't believe those guys in the green underwear!! Their mothers probably wanted to kill them going out like that! Ha-ha! I hope you are having a GREAT St. Patrick's Day, Kathy!
Best,
Gloria

I wore no green nor tartan to watch the parade yesterday, but I wore an argyle sweater...

You can see my pics of the parade, if you want.

The photos did make me smile! I especially loved the 80s one! I didn't leave the house Saturday, so didn't see or participate in any St. Patrick's Day events--maybe next year!
