Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Hope everyone had a nice St. Pat’s weekend. Chris and I went with some friends to a St. Patrick’s dinner and dance held by the Knights of Columbus. The majority of people there were the older members of our parish, there were a few tables of people "our age". The older folks stay for dinner and then mosey out around 8:00. Anyway, for $20 per person you get a traditional Irish boiled dinner and all the beer you can drink........we were definitely there for the beer. Our friends live close to the church so we walked to the festivities. I knew I had to drive us home so my intake of beverages was limited…but Chris on the other hand was feeling a strong need to celebrate his Irish heritage. Lets just say that at one point he thought that dancing might help him sober up a bit. I was laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face. Now I know where Ben got his smooth dance moves! Not to scare anyone, but to just give you all a visual of the dance floor, at one point there were twenty middle class white people on the dance floor dancing to “Bootybootybooties rockin everywhere." It was a little scary, but also pretty freakin funny! There were quite a few very hung over people at 11:00 Mass today.
