Happy St. Patrick's Day: Flashback to 2010

 

Angel Madi's first St. Patrick's day was March 17, 2010, which was also a Wednesday.
She and I made our first attempt at poetry via a Limerick. 
At the time I had not learned any photo shop. 
***********************
Fast forward to 2020
I had become quite good at Pizap Photoshop until December 31, 2020 when the new Pizap program replace the old one.  Once again this old cat lady is learning new tricks. The below is my first halfway decent photo shop 2021.


Many years ago I enjoyed cross stitching.  Below is one of my pieces
The Irish Blessing Hangs above the guest bed 
Sent to you from Me



May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields 
and until we meet again, 
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

  23. You did great with your new Pizap work, and I enjoyed Madi's poem. I had never heard the last Irish blessing you gave. I really like it. Hope you didn't get pinched on St. Paddy's day (I got to pinch my son, after which he went and found a green shirt to wear!)
