Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Thursday Kyla had a visit from Gran and Grandad Evans who always bring smiles, love and funny stories to cheer her up along with treats. Emma loves seeing "GG" and "Grandad" as she calls them and of course they don't spoil her at all either. Kyla, Jed, Emma, Dave, Kelli and I went to dinner with friends Joe and Sheri at Torero's that evening. Good Mexican food! Friday Kyla visited Dr. Montacelli and her blood count is still great...same as last week. She, Jed and Emma also paid a visit to her co-workers at the housing office on campus where Kyla worked and spent time just out and about. Friday evening they spent some time at Kelli's 17th birthday party with her friends eating pizza and ice cream cake. Saturday I took Kyla, Jed and Emma went to Portland to do a little shopping for a wig. We found a nice little shop and the ladies were so sweet and helpful. Kyla looks really cute and you can't tell it isn't her own hair. Good trip if you take away the snow, rain, hail and wind. But we did make it home in time for shopping for Kelli's birthday present. Hope everyone is wearing green today and eating corned beef and cabbage and drinking lots of green beer! A few sayings from the Irish...


  • A man that can't laugh at himself should be given a mirror.
  • A man takes a drink; the drink takes a drink; the drink takes the man.
  • A narrow neck keeps the bottle from being emptied in one swig.
  • Morning is the time to pity the sober. The way they're feeling then is the best they're going to feel all day.
  • You can lead the horse to the well, but you can't make him drink.
  • Better the coldness of a friend than the sweetness of an enemy.
  • Be nice to them on the way up. You might meet them all on the way down.
  • If a man fools me once, shame on him. It he fools me twice, shame onme.
  • Let your anger set the sun and not rise again with it.
Happy St. Patricks Day all!
