Meet Geraldine



Isn't she cute?
Geraldine was born on St Patrick's Day. A girl in work raises sheep and one of her ewe's had lambs. She called the little white lamb after me as I was the only Irish person she knew.
The little black lamb is called Megan.
Oh yeh........ she raises sheep for their wool and not for the dinner plate, thank goodness!

St Patrick's Day 2009

I have to say, I haven't had as much fun on St Patrick's Day in a long time. I arrived to work on Tuesday, and my boss Brenda had decorated my work area. On my desk there was a tiara, beads and glasses

I had been teasing everyone that I would love them to do "Riverdance" (NC style) for me and that Donna could sing me Danny Boy. Well........ they all came through for me on St Patricks Day. Brenda brought us all out to lunch and sure enough, they got up and did Riverdance .........and the Electric Slide and some other dance. I tell you, after lunch everyone was in great mood.

Brenda had baked an apple cake from my Irish Cook Book so we all enjoyed that later in the afternoon. Donna enlisted the help of her sister Kim and Deborah to sing Danny Boy. They had only practiced about half an hour before. Kudos to them for singing it as it is not an easy song to sing.

Well I am looking forward to 2010, how can we top this one?
