Today is St Patrick’s Day!
I spent the day looking for more green things to put on our dinner table. And by Jove ~ I found some.
A Kelly green bag from a purchase awhile back turned into dark green shamrocks & a lime green sheet of cardboard paper I found in a box at the scrap booking seminar ended up as shamrocks as well.
I confiscated 4 green plastic cups from the Lido & then went to the Gold Pearl Dining Room = 5pm and assisted Martina set up our table.
First I put down the Senior Frogs Green Scarf in a diamond pattern & created a 4 leaf shamrock with the green plastic glasses around our flower vase - then I put above everyone’s plate a shamrock ~ one dark & one lime green & so on & scattered the rest of the shamrocks around the table.
I put on Martina’s green beads around her neck & since Peter was sick I put my green crocheted butineer on Ken's lapel instead.
And now we are ready to really celebrate St Patrick’s Day along with Ken Byrne who is Irish thru & thru!
Everyone loved the table & we had a surprise from the table ~ 1 floor above us ~ after we finished our meal about 10 green balloons came floating down from above onto our table putting an exclamation point on the day!
Ken danced & a jig for us to Irish music and then sang Danny Boy!
Ah, the memories!

**I almost forgot another most important thing we did today around 2pm ~ I found some one else's pictures of our last slot pull - Check out the pictures above. We had so much fun. We did one Salsas49ers slot pull each leg & cause we had some left over money we had a 2nd slot pull on our 3rd leg.
