Finian's Rainbow
If you've not seen this movie in its entirety I'd encourage you to see it. It stars Fred Astaire and Petula Clark among others. It's an enjoyable way to spend and evening. Sure and you'll be hummin' the tunes all the day long!
Will be gone the weekend to enjoy family! Wishing you a weekend of the same!

Tea Talk
"Tea pot is on the, cups are waiting,
Favorite chairs anticipating,
No matter what I have to do,
My friend, there's always time for you."
Anonymous
Welcome to my house. Come in and linger. There is nothing like a cup of tea between friends.
I'm having...Good Earth Tea with it's warm cinnamon sweetness.
My teacup is...my Irish mug.
I'm feeling... a bit ambivalent. It's gloomy, gray and raining outside. And after the glorious day here yesterday, a bit of a letdown. But I am excited, too, because this weekend we'll be traveling to INDY for fun with the kids and grand kids. In other words, mixed emotions.
On my mind...at this time is getting the chicken soup done for this weekend before we leave for INDY. It will b served for lunch for the women's Christ Renews His Parish weekend here at Saint John the Baptist. It's a privilege to serve!

Introducing...
I don't know how I did it, but I certainly did. I failed to introduce my friends O'Malley, McGlone, and O'Toole. Friends of mine for years, as they share a special place in my life daily...MY Computer Desk! For years, I've forgotten how many, they have brought me a bit of the light side of life...One cannot have TOO much "light side!"
God be with you!
God be with you!

A Bit of Irish Humor!!!
Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and asks the first man he meets, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'
The man said, 'I do, Father.'
The priest said, 'Then stand over there against the wall.'
Then the priest asked the second man, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'
'Certainly, Father,' the man replied.
'Then stand over there against the wall,' said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'
O'Toole said, 'No, I don't Father.'
The priest said, 'I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?'
O'Toole said, 'Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now.'

Songs of the Season
I was guided to this song by Breadgirl. I am one who loves Celtic music and I thought I had heard as many as there were. Well, of course, that's not true. There are many more for me to hear and enjoy. This is one I have not heard but is nostalgic none-the-less, for it brings back memories of sitting on the floor a Sunday afternoon in front of the record player listening to Daddy's wonderful records. Please enjoy!
I would ask you to share your favorite Song of the Season by linking us to your post. I have many listed in my music on my side-bar and in the days to come I will be adding to their numbers. Please join in the fun and share one or more of your favorites!
Oh!! I must not forget! Please stop by Thou Art Jules and enter her contest. She has some lovely gifts to offer in celebration of her 100th post!

Tea Talk
There is a great deal of poetry
and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.

Welcome to my house. Come in and linger. There is nothing like a cup of tea between friends.
I'm having...Constant Comment tea with a bit of Splenda
My teacup is... A Suzy Toronto mug I got a couple of years ago. The verse on the outside of the cup says, "I may do foolish thing...But at least I do them with Enthusiasm!" and along the inside rim it say, "Sometimes my inner-goofball just slips out." It makes me smile at who I can be sometimes.
I'm feeling... Perky! They say the sun will shine today and I am soooo looking forward to that! Wishing everyone a grand day!
Thought you all might like to try this recipe. These cookies melt in your mouth!

Proof of Life
~~~~~
Kelly at Musings is offering us a chance to share moments in our lives when children cause us to pause and reflect on the impact their lives have had on us. So from time to time I will be going into my picture archives and bringing out those pictures that have caused me joy, laughter and love, proof of life. I will even endeavor to leave only a short title for the picture! So go visit Kelly and share in the fun!
