The Weir

Jim took me to South Coast Repertory for our anniversary and we saw an Irish play called "The Weir." The playwright is Conor McPherson. It's not getting a great recommendation from me, but it was an afternoon enjoyably spent. It takes place in an Irish pub and has some great ghost stories. What more could one ask for?

Good Things About March

1. Rain and more rain
2. Birthdays - Dad, Rosanne, Scott, Grandma Norris and Grandma Long
3. St. Patrick's Day - especially the party
4. Leprechaun traps
5. A new garden - pictures to follow
6. Visiting relatives - so nice to feel connected
7. And last, but not least - LEPRECHAUNS




Notice how I didn't include St. Joseph's Day, swallows, or Swallows Parade? Think we need to get out of town next weekend.

"Comfort Reads"

In case you haven't noticed, many of the books I've added in the last couple of weeks are part of a series. Two series, actually, both by the same author. She is my current "comfort read." When the world seems a little hectic and the burdens a little heavy, she's created a world that gives me some escape. It's a world where problems always seem to have a solution and where people are ultimately kind to each other. Kind of like a 1950's tv show, huh?

So, what books do you turn to when you need that kind of escape? I'd like some new ideas.
