Henry’s baptism collage
© Copyright Ada Kanu 2013
I guess with Easter and Henry’s 3rd birthday around the corner, nostalgia has taken over and I was inspired to create this collage from Henry’s baptism 2 years ago. I went against tradition of a christening outfit and instead got him a tails tuxedo, and the funny part was that at my parish the infant/children were dressed after the baptism. He was the oldest that day so got to go first, then imagine the flurry of activity trying to get a one year old dressed in a full tuxedo with the helping hands of parents and godparents, it was hilarious, and when he was brought up to the sanctuary to be presented to the congregation he would not stand still, running circles around the priest, it was good to see him having so much fun.
I present to you my “Rere” my little bundle of 2-year old trouble

With the clover leaf holiday around the corner, here are a collection of the holiday-themed quotes for journaling.

Oh, Paddy, dear, an’ did ye hear the news that’s goin’ round?
The shamrock is forbid by law to grow on Irish ground!
No more St. Patrick’s Day we’ll keep, his colour can’t be seen,
For there’s a cruel law agin’ the Wearin’ o’ the green.
~Author Unknown
St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.
~Adrienne Cook
You’ve heard I suppose, long ago,
How the snakes, in a manner most antic
He marched to the County Mayo,
And trundled them into th’ Atlantic
~Author Unknown
When law can stop the blades of grass from growin’ as they grow,
An’ when the leaves in summer time their color dare not show,
Then I will change the color, too, I wear in my caubeen;
But till that day, plaise God, I’ll stick to the Wearin’ o’ the Green.
If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky?
~Stanislaw J. Lec
Anyone acquainted with Ireland knows that the morning of St. Patrick’s Day consists of the night of the 17th of March flavored strongly with the morning of the 18th.

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
~Irish Blessing
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
~Irish Blessing
Saint Patrick was a gentleman, who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland, here’s a drink to his health!
But not too many drinks, lest we lose ourselves and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick, and see them snakes again!

Never iron a four-leaf clover, because you don’t want to press your luck.
~Author Unknown
A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.
~Author Unknown
Many an opportunity is lost because a man is out looking for four-leaf clovers.

Rippers
© Copyright Ada Kanu 2013
Going through my blog, I saw some incoming links, and surprise surprise, some called me a “Ripper”
Like Alan Weiss, I was sent a psychological analysis of me: I’m evil, inconsiderate, mock others, spoiled by money, responsible for Athlete’s Foot, you name it.
As Alan Weiss rightly stated those people sound very angry—and I’ve written extensively that most such irrational anger is really self-anger transferred to external sources.
I reserve the right to legal action.
