St Paddy's Day 2009...at the Smiths!

Our wonderful friends....we gathered for St. Paddy's Day at the lovely home of the Smiths in the Mo. countryside near Cook Station, Mo. It was warm enough to do lots of our partying on the deck......



The kitty was not that impressed by our revelry....


Things started to get a bit crazy......















Inside their wonderful home...cookin' corned beef and cabbage.....






A beautiful Missouri sunset.....



A WONDERFUL meal!!! Thanks Ron and Janet!



A good time was had by all....fun to be with you Barb and Charlie!


The next day...which actually was St. Patrick's Day, Ron's brother and his friend came out and played the bagpipes for us! These are the Smith brothers......





He played on the deck for a while (that empty Jameson bottle is from the night before....and was not full when we started..just to set the record straight!). Then they went down to an area in a meadow where we could not see him. He played "Amazing Grace" and the music floated to us through the trees and was soooo beautiful. The pipes calling from glen to glen and down the mountainside.....A perfect ending to a great time with good friends! After they left...the guys played golf and us gals lunched and shopped....we do those things really well!
