So close and yet so far. :-) Won't be wearing these green socks today. But I've learned!!! NEVER put the date on anything. St. Pat's Day socks...2012?...2013?...201?????
BIG day. ND Democratic party meeting this weekend - and Bill Clinton will be here! He came during the 1997 flood, got GF/EGF federal money (along with Dorgan, Conrad, and Pomeroy) - and now he can see how the federal government saved us. YES! The government stepped in and helped when it was too large a problem for the communities to solve. GOOD government. BIG government. I'm not afraid to love it.
And it's a stunningly beautiful day. We're all kind of waiting for the next blizzard to hit, but until then - it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Corned beef going into the crockpot - cabbage, potatoes, and carrots are involved, too. And a bit o'beer.
Happy St. Pat's Day!
The traditional old wood structure that sits by every community ice rink. Battered green paint on the outside. Inside smells of wet wool too close to the heater. Kids everywhere. Little ones on double-bladed training skates. Older ones with hockey sticks or figure skates. Pairs of skaters, including Moms and Dads, skating hand-in-hand. with the required rowdy kids, playing crack-the-whip. A snapshot in time.
