I'm in search of another good Irish cookbook and I'm a sucker for ones with photos along with good recipes. How would you rate your Irish Traditional Cooking? You've been in my thoughts and prayers. I love the tradition of your hubby resigning and dating the card every year. I hope some tea and something sweet along with your memories gives you some small comfort. ♥ ♣Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398643098588491009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-64100738504254688382015-03-12T00:46:42.686-04:002015-03-12T00:46:42.686-04:00Your table settings are always beautiful.

I've always admired that pretty china with the delicate shamrocks. I remember that your Ernie signed and dated your card every year. I find that a charming tradition. I hate the thought of tossing beautiful cards. This is a perfect way to honor a special card. I think of you often and know that the days are long and lonely. Know that your friend far and wide keep you close in their hearts.

When my beloved and I visited Ireland, we looked up my maiden name and supposedly my ancestors were from Galway. <br />It brought tears to my eyes when I read about your Ernie signing the same card each year. What a special gift! On our last anniversary, Rich couldn't even sign the card he bought me. He just knew it was his last anniversary with me and he just held me and we cried. I have that card in a safe place. Thank goodness for our memories! <br />Happy St. Paddy's Day to you, Rett. You're in my daily prayers. xokitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-6550491617819045202015-03-11T20:32:36.779-04:002015-03-11T20:32:36.779-04:00I came to visit from Kathleen's blog crawl.
