Oh, what a relief! Today is St. Patrick’s day and there are so
many options in Portland to distract me from my pain. Plus, I actually woke up pretty content this
morning. No anger. Whew!
Justina and I went to the
Northeast St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the Hollywood District. It was pretty great. Real live bagpipers – my favorite! Lots of dogs wearing green clothes. That was interesting. Portlanders love their dogs. There were also a lot of people on bikes,
another Portland staple. One couple was
dressed like leprechauns and riding a Tandem bike. I was pretty impressed with their outfits. There was a middle school marching band that
sounded REALLY great. The parade was
only 15 minutes, but it was really fun!
After the parade we went to
EastBurn for delicious Irish food and brews.
It was PACKED. But well worth the
wait! I had corned beef and mashed
potatoes with cabbage and leeks.
Yumm-o! Justina had brisket,
roasted potatoes, egg and toast. Super
delicious. And everyone was wearing
green. So beautiful!
Justina and I were so full that
we came home and took naps. Well, she
took a nap. I laid on the bed and
watched Once Upon A Time. I’m pretty far
behind….but I don’t think I care too much.
I just needed to watch something.
Later on Xiao Xuan and Ashley came over.
Ashley made cool British drinks for us.
Pretty yummy. We all watched the
Cosby Show for hours. I’ve gotten Xiao
Xuan addicted to it, it’s pretty awesome.
All in all, it really was a GREAT
day! I felt good for most of it. That’s pretty much all I can ask for. And I have wonderful people in my house and
the house next door, what a delightful bonus!

I hope all of you enjoyed your
St. Patrick’s Day and didn’t get pinched!
