May the road rise up to meet you

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.



This is the night when it is okay to eat unnaturally green-coloured foods.  Any other day, and my brain says this messes too much with the psychology of natural colour (which brings back cringe-worthy memories of my brother's sprint of mischievous teenage experimentation in the kitchen -- ask me about the BLUE milk and PURPLE pancakes sometime!).

Yesterday included:

Nannying for a lovely Irish family ("Coincidence?  I think NOT!").  We drew and cut out shamrocks, read stories, and played for hours.  I love celebrating holidays with children!  They make everything a lot more fun.
A delightful evening of excellent food, drink, and conversation.  Our tums were more than comfortably full!



Another 17th of March gone by... Cheers!

Out of the mouths of babes...

This is how daily conversations with my little niece often go:

(from this morning)

"Aun' Sairwah, how old are you?"
"Do you remember what I told you earlier?"
"Two."
"No..."
"Free?"
"No..."
"Twenny-free?"
"Yay!"
"Aun' Sairwah, I older dan you."


(later on...)

"Aun' Sairwah, how old are you?"
"You know..." (said with a wink and a grin)
"You firty-six, I two!"
"Thirty-six, huh?  Do I age well?"
"Nope." (Apparently, it's all downhill from here, folks... ;))

(from this evening)

"Aun' Sairwah?"
"Yes?"
"I need to check your heart."


Gosh, I love that baby girl (who is also quick to tell me that she is no longer a "baby").
