To be perfectly honest, I really don’t know much about St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t know who St. Patrick is or why any of us should care about him. I know there is a holiday that involves the color green and Leprechauns and a bunch of wee folk. In my youth I must admit I drank my share of green beer, but that was really a long time ago. Now I am just as happy to put green whipped cream on some alcohol free Irish Coffee. Yes, my life is now just about that dull. However, I have skeletons that live in my house who enjoy dressing up for all of the holidays. It started out that they would just dress up for Halloween. To be honest, that is still their favorite holiday. However, over time we have branched out to other holidays such as Thanksgiving, Hanukkah/Christmas, Valentine’s Day and now St. Patrick’s Day.
As you can see, the skeletons enjoy reading ghost stories. Now almost every holiday involves scary stories that involve various different creatures from skeletons, witches, wild banshees, ghosts, etc. Tonight I am reading a story I wrote, of course with the help of the skeletons, at the Archway Reading. It is still being presented via Zoom, but that just means that my friends can attend.
After St. Patrick’s Day, there really aren’t any good holidays for dress up. Summertime is too much about swimming. So the skeletons will rest up until fall. As soon as Labor Day arrives, we’ll start planning for the Halloween extravaganza! Who am I kidding. We have already started planning. I can’t wait until the fall arrives.
Until that time comes, I will have to keep myself entertained with hiking through historical cemeteries. Sabina and I have one planned for this coming Saturday. I promise I will take good pictures that I can share with you.
Until next time.….
