Cara came to Columbus last weekend to help us celebrate St. Patty's Day . . . however, she pasted on the "corned beast and cabbage" Bob & Marsha helped us with that traditional Irish fare.





Happy St. Patrick's Day! Rose Anne and I finished the Flannagan's Dublin St. Patrick's Day 5K Saturday with 756 runners in their "finest green"! Rose Anne ran a personal best of 35:33; an 11:28 pace and a 10:48 fist mile finished 14 of 31 in her age group. I completed the 5K in 29:48; 9:39 pace and felt good about the finishing 361 of the 756 runners! We opted for an Einstein bagel at the finish instead of the green beer!

Nana watches Riley play B-Ball. Nana got to visit Riley last Saturday and watch his Huskies pay the Bulldogs. When the game began there were already points on the scoreboard. Nana asked how the teams scored points before the game began? Each player had a Bible verse to recite. They received one point each, if the individual correctly stated his/her verse. Riley proudly scored and has also correctly delivered the team's verse as their spokesman. However, Riley's "U Conn Huskies" were beaten by the "Butler Bulldogs"! "Oh well, we'll get 'em next time!" "Let's go to Burger King , Nana . . I'm hungry!"

"Wake me up when spring gets here!" I don't know, Maddie, it's been a very pleasant winter; we can't complain!

Hey what's all the fuss . . I got a bath this morning! Father K and I are hangin' at St. John's. He's telling me I'm really special, now! Let's all get our picture taken on my special day! Mark 10:14 - Jesus says to let the children come to Him for the kingdom of God also belongs to them!
