Time to Be Blessed

March 16, 2012


These days we hear a great deal about "going green". However, tomorrow is the day that many folks enjoy the tradition of "wearing green". I am not really sure when it started, but the "wearin' of the green" has been around a long time - as has the celebration of St. Patrick's Day.


I am not aware of a parade here in the Inland Empire, but I feel certain there will be celebrations.


Smiley Library in Redlands is honoring their own patron saints, the Smiley twin brothers who gave so much. They are also honoring the 40th anniversary of the Archives and Special Collections Division of the A.K. Smiley Library.


Offering toasts or blessings is another tradition of St. Patrick's Day. I offer a blessing to all of you.


"May you always have walls for the winds,


a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,


laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,


and all your heart might desire."


As a shameless plug: CENTURY 21 Lois Lauer Realty is ready, willing and able to help you find your walls and roof.
