celebrating green!

St Patricks Day is celebrated at our house with corned beef and cabbage.  

Grandma brought the green fluff salad--total comfort food. 

 I went to wake Wilson on morning and found him sleeping on the floor tangled up in his sheets with the lovesack as his pillow.  Wilson's ability to sleep anytime anywhere will be helpful as a missionary.

Max, Marcos and I spent a nice afternoon with Wayne the Pain from Maine and his lovely wife Linda.  Wayne is a philatelist (he collects stamps) and showed us his amazing collection.    His wife is a master gardener.  They were lovely and kind people.  I was really proud of how polite Max and Marcos were, which earned them a ride on the tractor!

It was fun to have a St Patrick's day piano recital.  Marcos played his songs in "vos piano" but he played accurately.  He reported that the recital, "gave him a lot of anxiety."   Eliza played Edelwiess and Home on the Range.  Max played Star Wars and Amazing Grace.  Tony and I were chuckling when 3/4 of the way through the song Max stopped and turned his music right side up.  So much for his sight reading skills, but boy does he have a good ear!
