St. Patrick's--our first (vaccinated) celebration


 Our ice fishing season was quite short this year and is all over now. "Regular fishing" was going on everywhere this weekend as the creeks, bay and lake are wide open. 

Also this week we will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day with the first party/gathering we've had at our ministry--the offices of Emmaus Ministries, AIM USA, Benetvision and Sister Joan's writing/speaking--in a year. In fact it was exactly a year ago that we were decorated and set up for a St. Patrick's/March birthday party when everything closed and stayed that way for quite a while. In fact, I remember coming into the office in May or June to pick up more things to work on at home, and finding all the decorations and birthday cards for two of our staff, right where they were left in mid-March. It was an eerie feeling to just see everything as if we had just walked out the door--which in essence, I guess, is what we did.

One year later we're going to try it again--the same two staffers are having another birthday and St. Patrick's is on a Wednesday now, the same decorations pulled out and put up--let's hope this one can come off without a (COVID) hitch.
