So today happens to be St. Patrick's Day and the first day of Spring beak...for me Spring beak doesn't mean I won't be doing any school (I did school work today) but it means one day closer to Spring and then Summer, Fall and then back to Winter. The month that a lot people get tired of and long for Spring to come. But when it is Summer, I think and long for Winter. I mean as much as I love hot Summer days, wearing short sleeves, going to the beach, getting lighter hair, going on evening walks, wearing flip-flops, Fourth of July, etc. My mind somehow always seems to go back to Winter and skips right over Fall and gets filled with thinking of white powdery snow, warm drinks, the cold breezy wind blowing in my face and hair, taking photos when it is raining outside, and then back to thinking of that white powdery stuff. And then when I think of that white powdery stuff, my mind opens a new tab and fills it all up on: ski lifts, snowboards, hot drinks, and slopes with tons of snowboarders. *Sigh* sorry I got distracted there for a minute. ;) I start writing about how it is St. Patrick's Day and the first day of Spring beak, but somehow it actually turned out to be about the snow...hmm...
Anyway Happy St. Patrick's Day!! My Mom and sister RC are on an adventure. What fun adventures are. Seeing new things, eating new things, hearing peoples accents, and all the fun things that come with going on a adventure! And after your adventure you are left with memories. Some that will escape your memory, but they are never truly lost. Once you capture the moment, you will have it forever and every time you look at the picture, a new memory will be remembered. Ok, sorry...I'll get back on track here. Let's see...oh, yes...St. Patrick's Day!!
Today was the right way to start off a week. I'm usually one of those people who do not enjoy Mondays. But I was able to try something new...make the whole St. Patrick's day meal! Which was a new thing for me. Oh, and a tip for also starting off the week right, is going on a walk! Anyways here are some photos of tonight's dinner. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't 100% what I would have wanted it to be but anyways.
