Happy St. Patrick's Day to all our Irish friends (and who isn't?) It seems that Sue and I have Irish ancestry in common - on her mother's side but on both my parent's sides (along with a good mix of Scottish and English and whatever else). SO what did we do when we found ourselves down at Knox City Mall today? The Irish Pub was in full swing (emphasis on "full") with green beer and Irish dancers. But it was at Krisy Kreme we found our true Irish roots. We stopped to look at the GREEN donuts....and then read the fine-print. "Show us your best Irish jig and receive one FREE Irish donut". Now who could resist? I launched into a great jig, hands steadfastly to the sides...to the amazement of the barely-out-of-school lads behind the counter. I am sure they had NEVER seen an overweight woman of my age do anything this crazy before. Then it was Sue's turn - although she had looked a bit surprised at my spontaneous performance - and she too launched into a frenzy of fancy footwork and turns! We both exited munching our freebies...green and all!

I hope you saved me a donut.
Hey Wombat! It is great hearing from you! I couldn't help but laugh when I read your story about dancing for a free green krispy kreme doughnut. That is so hilarious! You girls are so funny! Great title too, they should make a reality show about it. School is getting tougher as we have only six weeks left that are speeding by. It's been a pretty amazing experience! Are you looking forward to seeing the kids this summer? Hope to see you both when I return to Idaho for Summer break! Best of love,

Carolyn, I will gladly anti-up a Krispy Kreme doughnut for you and for Sue just to see the jig, once you're back in Boise.
Trust you Cub & Sue to do exactly that... not surprised. I would have loved to be there to see you two do your Irish jigs... & watch the counter kids faces.
