but then again, we looove roadtrips.

   (so is corned beef if you've never tried it).

                          there's a tiny restaurant

   this image of silke stoddard's knitting is burned into my mind and
   tatooed on my heart.

                                                            she's amazing.

   i am blocking my two latest projects today and will show them tomorrow.

                      simple is always prettiest to me.

                                                   it was super delicious.

   i am so grateful for quiet time with the scriptures

    pps- our topic of convo for the night was this article from the wall
                               street journal.

                                  i am excited about my new running shoes.

   4. i don't worry about a little "creative clutter" in cate's room. i
   say, a good dress up/ barbie mess day better than watching tv all
   afternoon, right? pretty soon i will just put my 'kerchief on again and
   go to town. (yes, that is what cate's room looks like again, just over
   a month after the big clean. i tell you, i'm fighting a losing battle
   with that girl). does that answer your question, mary? i hope it helps!
   wink.

   i have always dreamed of going to ireland, (and scotland too- mccaleb),
   to research our family history, and to see the green grass in real
   life.

   i found that amazing old shirt (we're big fans) at the thrift store for
                            $1 and it's so soft.

                                    i am trying to be a patient, kind mom.

          we are happily enjoying being able to play outside again.

                                 she's cute

   good news!

                                             time for a new spring look...

     we ate corned beef and cabbage with irish soda bread last night in
                    preparation for the day of the irish.
