You aren't messing around!

I will be baking over the next couple days - Saturday evening is the "Last Party at Mary's House" - the end of an era.

My beloved mum-in-law died last July, and the time has come to sell the house in which she raised her children and lived for the last 50+ years. It is a bittersweet "celebration," and there will be Irish stew - not corned beef and cabbage - and plenty of booze, and my contribution - shamrock-shaped cookies and lemon shortbread cookies stamped with shamrocks as well.

She was as Irish as the day is long, and most family parties for the last 3p+ years since I married in have been held in that home.

So this St. Patrick's Day, please raise a toast to Mary Margaret (Gallagher) Watts, and to Paul - her son and my husband - and the cofounder of this website - and to all things that we'll now hold in our hearts, not our hands.

What a great toast! I will have a Guinness in their honor.

Karen, I would be honored to raise a toast. It will have to be with a cup of tea (specifically Tetley British blend) since I'm trying to shake off a cold and the weather is typical for St. Patrick's Day in Chicago, chilly and wet. But I'll be thinking of you tomorrow with (((hugs))).

Dear Karen, I am raising a belated toast to Mary Margaret and Paul and all... I hope your party was a gathering of dear family and friends, full of love for those departed and each other, reliving so many precious memories and rejoicing in the lives shared.

Love from Pat (and cats)

A toast...

Another round to go 'round



Done.
