Happy St Patrick's Day!

Happy St Patrick's Day to all of you. Although the St Paul parade will be passing by the building where I get my daily radiation treatment, I'll be in and out of there early, so I'll miss being caught by the bands and marchers. We've had wonderful weather - it's been warm and sunny. It's currently 36 degrees, so a bit colder, but it's still going to be a great day for the Irish celebration. 




The Luck of the Irish be with you today. St Paul always 
has a big celebration for St Patrick's Day, we have a large 
Irish population. 



We had corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes for dinner yesterday. A fairly good sized corned beef cooked down into a much smaller end product than Hubby had thought it would. If he wanted any sandwiches from the left-overs, he was totally out of luck. There are no leftovers at all, but it was a lovely meal. 




We had a typical USA St Patrick's Day dinner - 
corned beef, carrots, potatoes and cabbage. It 
was lovely and very tasty. 



We also spent yesterday dealing with a lot of financial stuff - pulling invoices and printing out bank statements for our income tax appointment later this week. I'll need to postpone that meeting by a day because we need to attend the wake of an acquaintance - the older brother of our landlord. We've known all three brothers and their parents for decades and feel we can't miss attending the "celebration of life" that will be held on Wednesday night. So we'll move our tax appointment over a day - either a day earlier or a day later. We have everything together, so a change of schedule isn't an issue for us. I'll contact our accountant later today and get that shifted. 




We're not the most expensive state, but we're not one 
of the least expensive for income taxes either. Oh well, 
it's an evil that has to be borne and dealt with every 
year. 



I'm off to radiation this morning, and I'll have a meeting with the radiation Doctor afterward, so I warned DH that I would possibly be a bit late for work today. That means he actually has to be at the shop on time and get everything ready for the public. It's rare that he has to uncover the cases and get the counter top displays put up. I'll have to see how he did when I arrive - LOL. 




It'll be really nice to see Doc Wilson again. 
He's my fellow New Mexican doctor, and I 
just get along with him really well. We're both 
transplants into the state of Minnesota, and we 
both like this state quite a lot. 



So, I had a lovely "run" this morning, and I'm ready to start my day. I hope you have a great Monday and a good St Patrick's Day if you're celebrating today. I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
