My Pot of Gold

"Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter. Lullabies, dreams and love ever after. Poems and songs with pipes and drums. A thousand welcomes when anyone comes...That's the Irish for you!" ~ Old Irish Saying

The leprechaun made my night, with the exception that I forgot to put my charged battery into my camera and therefore I have no proof. I was at the local coffee shop which had a line-up of bands to entertain me for the evening, and I was the only nerd with my computer. One of the bands was from Dublin, thus explaining the leprechaun. No picture needed. Hmmm...I wonder...was he there looking for a pot of gold? Should I have searched for it? I'll be cheesy and say the pot of gold was the beautiful evening, the excellent music, the amusing crowd, and the almost full moon.

Eventually a couple of friends met up with me and seeing that one of them was 11 years-old, I was challenged to a game of Candy Land and lost. Very gracefully too. I might have finally out grown temper tantrums. Maybe.

  1. Those leprechauns are tricky little buggers.

  3. Second time Candy Land has popped up for me in the last day. What does it meeeeeaaan? :)
    I, too, suffered, along with everyone around me, from game-related temper tantrums. I think I've outgrown them. I hope.

  6. Thank you everyone for the encouragement...and Teresa, maybe you should go buy the game and see if it speaks directly too you? Or it may be an excuse to pig out on your fave candy from yesteryear.
