Huckleberries Online

St. Patricks Day Wild Card

I hate being pinched so don't even think about it. I planned ahead and had shamrocks painted on my fingernails. I'm good.

My 4th-grader will be jigging and having scones and tea at school today. But I'll celebrate by watching my 17-year-old play in Mt. Spokane's first league soccer game of the season. Hope the weather holds.

But here's my Irish blessing for you:

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

And here's your Wild Card.
