Bless Your Heart

The 3 Ts. That’s what you need to stock your house if you’re having a visit from Irish people. They only stayed for 3 nights but in that time they went through a loaf and a half of bread, a package of english muffins, 4 sticks of butter, and a half a jar of jam. Holy smokes. They also drank an inordinate amount of tea. Speaking of, apparently my lowly electric stove boiled water at a terribly slow rate. So the 2nd morning my Nanny insisted on buying me an electric tea kettle. That appeased the Irish who drink their tea while still boiling.

Molly & Kiki loved getting all the crumbs though!

We hosted dinner the 2nd night. We made a low country shrimp boil. It was so yummy.

While they were here my father decided to buy my nephews a dauschund (sp?) puppy. Her name is Sister Loose Lucy. Jake wanted to name her Sister Charles, I suggested Lucy so they compromised. She’s a mini doxie and is cute as can be!

We had a lot of fun with Nanny & the Irish and can’t wait for their next visit. And by the last day we were actually able to understand the words that were coming out of their mouths!
