<ul class="bullet_3"><li><strong>St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17</strong> because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he died on March 17 in the year 461 AD. It is also a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and history. St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland, and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.<br />
</li>
<li><strong>In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day</strong>, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair.<br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Many cities have a St. Patrick’s Day parade.</strong>Dublin, the capital of Ireland, has a huge St. Patrick’s Day festival from March 15-19, that features a parade, family carnivals, treasure hunt, dance, theatre and more. In North American, parades are often held on the Sunday before March 17. Some paint the yellow street lines green for the day! In Chicago, the Chicago River is dyed green with a special dye that only lasts a few hours. There has been a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Boston, Massachusetts since 1737. Montreal is home to Canada’s longest running St. Patrick’s Day parade, which began in 1824. </li>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: #cc0099;"><span style="color: purple;">I am a grandma too and presently I have eight beautiful grandchildren, two girls and six boys. </span></span></b></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: #cc0099;"><span style="color: purple;">Now I make all sorts out of socks.</span></span></b></span></div><div align="center"><br />

~ by Betty Cesna</span><b><span style="color: #cc0099; font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0099; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0099; font-size: x-large;"> <img border="0" height="135" src="http://www.babysite.org/images/poems65.gif" width="97" /></span></b></div><div align="center">When I was very little<br />
All the Grandmas that I knew<br />
Were wearing the same kind<br />
Of ugly grandma shoes..<br />
<br />
You know the kind I mean..<br />
Clunky heeled, black, lace-up kind,<br />
They just looked so very awful<br />
That it weighed upon my mind,<br />
<br />
For I knew, when I grew old.<br />
I'd have to wear those shoes,<br />
I'd think of that, from time to time<br />
It seemed like such bad news.<br />
<br />
I never was a rebel,<br />
I wore saddle shoes to school,<br />
And next came ballerinas<br />
Then the sandals, pretty cool.<br />
<br />
And then came spikes with pointed toes<br />
Then platforms, very tall,<br />
As each new fashion came along<br />
I wore them, one and all.<br />
<br />
But always, in the distance,<br />
Looming in my future, there,<br />
Was that awful pair of ugly shoes,<br />
The kind that Grandmas wear,<br />
<br />
I eventually got married<br />
And then I became a Mom<br />
Our kids grew up and left,<br />
And when their children came along,<br />
<br />
I knew I was a Grandma<br />
And the time was drawing near<br />
When those clunky, black, old lace up shoes <br />
Was what I'd have to wear.<br />
<br />
How would I do my gardening<br />
Or take my morning hike?<br />
I couldn't even think about<br />
How I would ride my bike!<br />
<br />
But fashions kept evolving<br />
And one day I realized<br />
That the shape of things to come<br />
Was changing, right before my eyes.<br />
<br />
And now, when I go shopping<br />
What I see, fills me with glee<br />
For, in my jeans and Reeboks<br />
I'm as comfy as can be.<br />
<br />
And I look at all these little girls<br />
And there, upon their feet<br />
Are clunky, black, old Grandma shoes,<br />
And I really think that's neat.</div><div align="center"><br />

<b>Daffodils</b> by William Wordsworth</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I wandered lonely as a cloud <br />
That floats on high o'er vales and hills, <br />
When all at once I saw a crowd, <br />
A host, of golden daffodils; <br />
Beside the lake, beneath the trees, <br />
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Continuous as the stars that shine <br />
And twinkle on the milky way, <br />
They stretched in never-ending line </i><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Along the margin of a bay: <br />
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, <br />
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i> The waves beside them danced; but they <br />
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: <br />
A poet could not but be gay, <br />
In such a jocund company: <br />
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought <br />
What wealth the show to me had brought: </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i> For oft, when on my couch I lie <br />
In vacant or in pensive mood, <br />
They flash upon that inward eye <br />
Which is the bliss of solitude; <br />
And then my heart with pleasure fills, <br />
And dances with the daffodils. </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Also, when this blog gets to 30 followers, I'll also give away a gorgeous red and white cow blanket, ideal for snuggling up to on the sofa or keeping little ones snug in their pram.<br />
