Wishing everyone a fun St. Patrick's Day! I put the Reebok shoe there because the "wearing of the green" is an Irish-Catholic tradition (symbolizing Roman Catholocism), whereas the Protestants wear orange on St. Patrick's Day. That's also why the Irish flag has both an orange stripe and a green stripe (unity of the two faiths). Since I'm Protestant, I guess I should wear orange! The shamrock can be worn by anyone as St. Patrick introduced it when he was converting ... the shamrock has 3 leaves and he used to to symbolize the Holy Trinity.
So wear your orange and green and shamrocks and enjoy some corned beef and cabbage!

You always have the most interesting trivia. I don't know where you come up with this stuff. I am Catholic and didn't know that. Hope you are feeling better, but hate to tell you I have a friend that has been sick for 2 months. She has asthma as well and has been on steroids almost the whole time and class 3 antibiotics. I think the weather this winter has contributed to illness lingering. One lady at Ada Christian was bed ridden for a month with influenza and broke 3 ribs from coughing so hard. Hang in there.
