One of my cousins took my Aunt Frances [we affectionately call her BoBo] out to lunch yesterday and posted this picture of her in front of her independent living apartment. It was decorated so cute I had to share it since I blogged about the Irish tea/luncheon I gave in her honor.
I had plans to see the movie, "I Am Patrick" - a new docudrama scheduled for viewing in select theaters on March 17th and 18th, but with so many places shutting down due to the coronavirus I don't know if it will still be possible.
Below are pictures of my small Irish dish collection in addition to my Shannon china. I love my Waterford Crystal Biscuit Jar.

I love holiday themed clothing, and while I don't have a lot, I do have a couple of outfits to wear to work next week - if The Whitney is still open. People are very reluctant to go to public places right now with the Coronavirus unless it's absolutely necessary, and precautions are a good thing.
I have a cute St. Patrick's Day full-body apron that I'm still looking for. When I find it I'll post a photo of it too. Do you ever put things in a 'safe' place and then forget where that safe place is? ;-)
I've visited England [three times], Scotland and Wales, but I haven't made it to Ireland yet. Given my Irish heritage, it's on my bucket list.
Stay well and be safe everyone. The coronavirus will pass and our children and grandchildren will talk about it in years to come saying "remember when..." In the meantime, God is our refuge. He has not given us a spirit of fear [or panic], but one of peace if we put our faith and trust in Him. And while we're riding out the virus pandemic, drink lots of tea. It will not only be a helpful antidote, but it will sooth and calm frayed nerves.

I mailed a package of fun St. Patrick things to my two great-granddaughters on Wednesday. Hopefully my granddaughter will send pictures of them modeling their shirts and headbands like she did for Valentine's Day. Evie fell yesterday and had to have three stitches in her chin, but Tiffany said she was a brave little trooper.

I wore the outfit on the right to the recent tea/luncheon I hosted for my aunt and cousins.

Enjoyed seeing your aunt's apartment and all of these pretty green things in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day. I did not know about the St. Patrick movie but want to see it now! Stay safe, and I'll join you in sipping lots of tea (especially green tea!).
