It's been a pretty, though chilly, day for the wearing of the green. I always seek out something green to wear on St. Patrick's Day...when children and grandchildren were around, it was protection from getting pinched! No one around today to pinch me...but...I still wanted to wear green and I realized that I have very few clothing items that are green...I had to choose a floral top which had green leaves in with the flowers. But then Woody was not fond of green, as his mother loved it and there was a lot of green in his house which he didn't care for. The same situation goes for Melany...she is not all that fond of yellow, which was her mother's and father's favorite color! My other tradition for St. Patrick's day was corned beef...but this year, I didn't cook a corned beef roast, instead I had a Reuben sandwich...so had my corned beef that way. Tasted pretty good! A Reuben is one of my favorite sandwiches, not so for my sister, though we both love a boiled New England dinner. I considered cooking a corned beef roast as I have a Reuben soup recipe that I do love to make every now and then. But this year went the sandwich route. This afternoon I got a call from my financial advisor. He had another paper that I needed to sign so he stopped by and I signed it. This evening I met with our prayer group at church. I am now home and planning to settle in and stitch and read this evening. I did meet my goal with my Bristol Orphanage Sampler...I now have the width and length defined, the first page of 16 chart pages completed, and last night I trimmed down the large piece of cloth so it is more manageable. Here is a picture of it before I trimmed the cloth down to size. Lots of stitching to go! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
