Monday is St. Patrick’s Day. Here’s a fun St. Patrick’s Mad-Libs type of game your kids might enjoy. Or maybe try this clover pin if you’re looking for a sweet craft to make with the kiddos.
For centuries the clover (or shamrock) has been an emblem of Ireland. Part of an old Irish song gives St. Patrick the credit for bringing the plant to Ireland:
There’s a dear little plant
that grows in our Isle
’Twas St. Patrick himself
sure that set it.
And the sun on his labor
with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye
oft-times wet it.
It grows through the bog,
through the brake,
through the mire land,
And he called it the dear
little shamrock of Ireland.

Have a wonderful weekend, and we hope to see you tomorrow night at 5:00 pm at the SLO Country Club for our magnificent evening at Mount Olympus!
