I love Holidays and silly traditions like wearing green or getting pinched. I love playing with me friends and being silly. I love making green dinner for my family.
Today the Fun Bunch met at the Greenery at Rainbow Gardens to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I think it was the perfect place me meet on this day.☺ I know nothing about this Holiday except that involves the Irish and Green and Kisses and Rainbows. I don't know why those mean anything at all but it's fun. I have always enjoyed this silly little Holiday.
Kathy wasn't able to make it today and so she sent the "sunshine" face in her place. We all brought something to share with each other. I know a few of the gals think that's dumb but I think it's fun. It's fun seeing what everyone comes up with. I laughed when I saw what Jodi brought because if I could have found the colored licorice our gifts would have been the same. The store I went to didn't have all the colors so instead of licorice I bought skittles to go with the gold I had. Cheers to Friendship!
Rainbow Gardens is a great place for photo opportunities. Everywhere you look there is something that could be used for a photo and we usually use a few. Rainbow Garden has some neat things but I think they are over priced. My theory is price things so more of it sales and make your profit off many instead of pricing it high and making a profit off a few. They must do okay since they have been in business for a long time.
This last week my motto has been Don't Worry Be Happy and today there was a cute display of Bee's and cute sayings! This months visiting teaching message is about Patience and I have been working on patience this month. I've been trying not to worry and to just be happy....even when the internet isn't working, or my child waits until the last day to do a big project for school or the jello in the cute mold melts completely after setting it in hot water and turning my back on it and getting distracted. Most things don't matter and worrying and being impatient doesn't change the out come. So Don't Worry Be Happy and Be Patient Every Single Day!
We all had our green on and our silly on. That is the reason I named this group the Fun Bunch. We enjoy being silly and immature and making memories.
Robin brought Bubble Guns for us all and we almost forgot to use them. They were cute and fun. You're never too old for Bubbles right? My grands are going to love these...I think they all need them for Easter. A nice guy that was walking by volunteered to take our picture. People are just nice like that when you let them be. I watched him as he continued to click the button and smile as he watched us silly gals over half a hundred (a phrase my brother says) enjoy our bubble guns. It was a fun afternoon.
I stopped at the store on the way home to get the rest of the things I needed for our Green Dinner. I really only needed salad stuff but ended up getting rolls and doughnuts too. Oh I bought shamrock cookies too but didn't use them since we had doughnuts. They will be for tomorrow. I was thinking about making the break but when they had green rolls I just bought them. I made shepherds pie. I even picked up a very cute rainbow jello but ruined it when I was melting around the edges so it would come out of the round mold. I forgot about it and was doing other things. By the time I remembered it was melted and a yucky color. My family enjoyed teasing me about it. I was frustrated because I remember doing that a time before...you think I would learn. The rainbow jello would have been a nice addition but instead we will be eating brown jello tomorrow. ☺
After dinner Larry was asked to help in giving a Priesthood Blessing and I was told I could also come over to Cheer my friend up. I'm thankful for the Priesthood and it's power. I'm thankful for a good hubby and wonderful sons that are worthy to have it. The Priesthood is such a Blessing in this Life.
We enjoyed Sadie Baby while Braxton and Kelsi did a little shopping. She is getting bigger and is such a cutie!
Fun Day with Fun Friends and Family!
