A few good nights of sleep would do him a world of good with the stamina part :-) <br /><br />It was nice being in a small town yesterday--a whole different atmosphere than you would find in Dublin. It was clear that people were having a good time and it was fun to see the stuff people were wearing, waving, and having painted on their faces :-)<br /><br />I always wish winter was longer--it always seems to go by in a flash! I do find the climate here to be pretty good for me though--doesn't get too hot in the summer, except for a few days here and there and I slept really well last summer, which is something that doesn't usually happen. So it works out pretty well. I am used to feeling this way now so I just don't fight it. It is worst at this time of year but it will fade into the background soon. Hope you are seeing signs of spring in your neck of the woods!!Shari Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301342910803447836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933855269189267994.post-89101315586955754492015-03-18T19:50:07.758+00:002015-03-18T19:50:07.758+00:00Hey Shari.

I can't wait for the warmer weather but I am not a Florida person. I do like the 4 seasons but winter could be a little shorter and summer a little longer. I do get to do a lot of indoor projects in the winter tough. Summer projects are more fun. Keep well. You are in a perfect place for St. Patrick Day and parade. <br />DianneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578429117127210901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933855269189267994.post-90592319185298505852015-03-18T19:29:22.266+00:002015-03-18T19:29:22.266+00:00Thanks, Dana!!

It's very different here in the small, rural town than it was in Dublin and larger places. I have heard that a lot of people will avoid Dublin on St Patrick's Day, because it's so crazy--lots of drunk folks and accompanying bad behavior! Here it was just a nice afternoon and fun for the kids.<br /><br />I know what you mean about being ambivalent--I enjoy looking at the flowers and stuff, and the heat isn't too bad here--it stays pretty mild most of the time. I'm used to the depression arriving about now each year--it will hang around until October now and will just become background noise.<br /><br />Hope you're having a good week!Shari Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301342910803447836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933855269189267994.post-73091081394857903022015-03-18T14:23:54.876+00:002015-03-18T14:23:54.876+00:00Dear Shari,

I am walking a fine line between looking forward to the warmth of the spring and a break from the brutal cold and the accompanying dread that recognizes the onset of summer, heat and humidity. I hope you both feel better! Please tell Mr. Burke that I enjoyed his photos of the parade. I was wondering what St. Patrick's Day in Ireland looked like!<br />Sincerely, <br />DanaDiocese of Manchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059017970252179944noreply@blogger.com
