A REASON TO CELEBRATE!

   A REASON TO CELEBRATE!

     

    Guess you think you know why this is a

day for celebration!

    Well, chances are, you're HALF right!

    Yes, it is Saint Patrick's Day.

    You don't have to look very far to see

Irish flags or green banners hung out to

mark the occasion.

      There are 4 leaf clovers and images

of leprechauns posted on the windows of

houses and stores wherever you go.

       The Big Saint Patrick's Parade in

Scranton has already marched into history.

But the green lines still mark the route

through the city.

        But how many people have noticed

that today is my HALF Birthday!

       See, here's how it works. My actual

birthday is on September 17th.  So, six

months after that is March 17th, which

happens to be Saint Patrick's Day.

       Ask a little kid how old he or she is

and you'll often get an answer like..."I'm

4 and a half."

       So I'm thinking....why should the kids

have all the fun?  And what's a half year

among friends?

       So while a majority of celebrants

will be "wearing the green" today maybe

I'll have a slice of cake. Or, maybe, a half

a slice!

        After all, I'm 76 and a half today!!!!!!

        Hope you're always looking for a

reason to celebrate.....and that all of your

NEWS is good!
