Happy St. Patrick's Day~

[pinkscarflady]

[Mom is at the bar, drinking. Just like every day, right?

Oh no. No, today is different. This is St. Patrick's day. This is the day when Mom drinks while wearing green. She also has a festive little hat, tilted to one side at a jaunty angle.

She is also displaying a preference for green drinks today, just to get into the spirit of things. She's still wearing her pink scarf though. Join her?]

[She smiles.]

My, my, the day was already going so well, and now it's all but perfect.

[She lifts the glass in a little toast.]

Thank you. And Happy St. Patrick's day.

Same to you, I guess. [Didn't have a clue what the holiday was, but he'd drink to damn near anything.]

[pinkscarflady]

[And she drinks to pretty much everything. Always.]

If nothing else, this has been the calmest holiday I've celebrated since arriving in Mayfield.

It was a rather pleasant surprise considering I was half expecting to be fighting off an army of angry leprechauns, or some such nonsense.

Now that you mention it, I'm a little surprised we didn't get anything like that. It'd be par for the course around here. At least I think that's the right phrase.

[pinkscarflady]

It is.

[She takes a thoughtful sip.]

And now that you mention it, isn't it strange that such a perfect example of idealized fifties Americana has no golf course?
