Whiskey in the Jar...


Happy St. Paddy's Day!  Doesn't Lola look cute sporting her Irish hat?  She wore it for a moment and I was much more amused than she was with her fashion statement.  The hat brings out her big, green eyes, at least, saving her from total humiliation.  As an Asian leopard, she doesn't see the point of all of this St. Paddy shenanigans.  But she does look really cute-don't you think?

 Our celebration this year included some Michigan friends down for a visit. Cocktails, sunset, dinner and a cool magic act were on the agenda for a wonderful Keys evening.  No green beer, no corn beef and cabbage, no Irish music, and definitely no leprechauns!  I barely even wore green.  And that's just the way I like it.

I wonder if there were any Norwegians that did something worthy of a day I could celebrate?  Gotta look into that possibility and what a celebratory day could entail.  Hopefully there could be a big, Nordic god or goddess that would be more palatable than any old leprechaun-which totally give me the creeps.  Or at the very least a Viking mascot-which could necessitate a big hat with horns.  That could be cool.  I'm pretty sure Erik the Red did something as worthy as driving out all the snakes ...We could eat salmon, drink black coffee, and view the night sky hoping for a natural light show.  Sounds like wayyyy more my speed!

Anyhoo..  Hope your week goes as smoothly as a sip of Irish whiskey, with the wind at your back and the sun in your face, with the luck of a four leaf clover, and all that nonsense!  xoxo

Hey hey, Jodi, raisin' a glass ~!

Even the Irish have a touch of the Viking in 'em; and there's always Midsummer, St. John's Day, of Norse connection . . . among other fire and drink-times . . .

I think you should celebrate summer solstice naked and beheading an enemy warrior as sacrifice to Odin. Barring that just drink some Vodka.

Love that song, particularly the metallica version!

Erik-Okay, now I really have to do some digging about and investigate these possibilities! Mark-all that seems to be quite an undertaking. Naked, and vodka? Yeah. That works. x Charles-I love that version too! Have a fabulous week Babes! xo
