Welcome

Saturday....
my favorite day of the week...
my day...
no obligations....
I can do as much or as little as I choose...

and a beautiful Saturday it is...
80 degree temperatures...
lots of sunshine....
gorgeous spring flowers...







I received this in an email today:

Life is short.
break the rules,
forgive quickly,
kiss slowly,
love truly,
laugh uncontrollably,
and never regret anything
that made you smile.
Life may not be the party we hoped for,
but while we are here we should dance...
Take time,
make time,
there may not be a next time !

Happy St.Patrick's Day

We celebrated St. Patty's Day at work with the employee breakfast. In the years past we enjoyed a great spread for breakfast, including fruit and pastries, sponsored by administration. This year they decided to go the more traditional route with green eggs and green gravy. The eggs didn't taste any better than they looked :-)
In der Klinik gibt es alljaehrlich ein schoenes Fruestueck fuer alle Mitarbeiter zum St. Patricks Day. Traditionell zelebriert man den St. Patrick's Tag mit gruen gefaerbtem Bier, Corned Beef und Weisskraut ueberall in USA. In Chicago, z. B. wird noch mit einer grossen St. Patrick's Parade gefeiert und der Chicago River wird gruen gefaerbt. Julia und Erik haben das vor eiigen Jahren mal mit erlebt....Deshalb wurden uns auch gruene Eier mit gruen gefaerbter Sosse serviert. Nicht sehr appetitlich, aber es gehoert dazu.
Zum Glueck gab's auch noch normales Essen :-).
Heute fahre ich mit Minnie nach Jonesboro..sie hat mich gestern schon erinnert, ein gruenes Kleidungsstueck zu tragen, das gehoert auch zum Brauch ( sonst wird man gekniffen). Ich lass es mal drauf ankommen....
