Smears of green across faces. Kelly green and glow-in-the-dark green and new-grass green shirts. Green beads draped under smiling faces.
A flood of shoulder-to-shoulder party-goers. The Tamm Avenue sidewalk is lined with them, from Oakland to Manchester.
Beer... (for some) the breakfast drink on a day like today.
Today I'll be watching the Dogtown St. Patrick's Day Parade. However, I'll be watching it while in the comfort of a home (a home belonging to two friends--surrounded by their family and other friends) with a bathroom (not a porta-potty) and lots of delicious food.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Drink beer. Eat corned beef and cabbage. Celebrate a sturdy stock who helped form this country... thankfully, before a wall was being bandied about to keep out people from other countries...
David bought a loaf of bread from Schnucks that's shaped like a large green snake--Twizzler tongue and all. It's certain to be a fun day!
ReplyDeleteI saw the tail-end of a float from David's school. Was he part of it? (I didn't see him.)
DeleteI hope you enjoyed the snake...
I made my traditional corned beef and cabbage. When you only have it once a year - so delicious!
