St. Patrick's Day

The arrival of St. Patrick's Day always reminds me of walking home from grade school in the warm spring breeze. This year my family (including my parents, brother, aunts, uncles, and cousins) celebrated the holiday in a especially nice way. My cousin was married on St. Patrick's Day.

Below is a picture from the wedding. This was during the "generation dance" where married couples dance until the number of years they have been married is called by the DJ. When your number is called, you are supposed to leave the dance floor. (Hint, hint, Greg and Darcy!) My parents along with two of my mom's siblings and their spouses were among the final dancers. Shown in the picture from left to right are my mom, my aunt Mary, my dad, and my uncle John. (Originally they were dancing with their respective spouses, but traded partners for the picture!)
