On a lighter note... St. Patrick's Day Chinese Style

Today is St. Patrick's Day. It is a huge deal for my husband's family. Gee what more could you expect from some one named Patrick Shannon? We thought that St. Patrick's Day probably had not migrated from the Emerald Isle to the shores of China. Patrick's parents, Denny and Judie joined us on this trip like they did on the last trip. So we packed a couple of things for Grandma Judie to celebrate with today. No corned beef and cabbage, but at least we have some shamrocks! The girls gave Grandma Judie our little surprise last night. Poor Annie, she is going to think her new family is crazy with all the green! The girls even picked out a green hair bow for her today that is covered in shamrocks.
