The Wearing of the Green

Happy St.Patricks Day Everyone! We love St. Patrick’s Day because it’s our Wedding Anniversary. We were married over Spring Break in our last year of university. So we’ve been together … a while!

If you want to read the story behind the story, check it out here.

Last year on this date we were in Wellington, New Zealand and James was struggling with Dengue Fever. So this year we promised ourselves that we would have a blow-out celebration, and that’s what we’re going to do. We headed to Savannah for a long weekend – where they dye the fountains green. We’ll drink green beer and champagne, stay in the tiny cottage we love so much, eat some great Southern food, and finish it off with a scrumptious pecan praline. Now that’s the way to celebrate!

Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day.

“And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by those moments that take our breath away.”
–George Carlin

Lovely Trails,
Terri and James

    1. I’m a lover of the green too, and few places can compete with gorgeous Ireland. Thanks for the anniversary wishes. I too am a fan of GC, and love his serious side, too. All the best, Terri

  15. Happy anniversary too =) You know, I met a guy from Limerick who said that he hated celebrating St Patricks day in Ireland because they were never as grand as outside in the big wide world.. =)

    1. Thank you so much Tanny! That’s funny because we talked with an Irish lad visiting Savannah and he said the same thing. So now that you’ve had a few days in Greenland, how’s it going? ~Terri

    1. Thanks so much Jonelle! And congrats on your 5th – a wonderful milestone … and very memorable date! An Irish Catholic cop and a Scots Protestant from Houston sounds like a wonderful combination! ~Terri
