We followed a metaphorical rainbow to Stockholm, Wisconsin on Saturday and found a treasure more precious than gold — family time.
We also got to celebrate an early St. Paddy’s Day with some of the most charming people you’ll ever meet.
A parade through Stockholm never disappoints and this one featured bagpipes, heaps of candy, the sweetest little leprechaun and flying bars of Irish Spring soap.
Sure and Begorrah, we had a fine time!
Then we tucked ourselves into the Humble Moon Saloon for some excellent music and fine repast. You won’t taste a better plate of corned beef this side of the Atlantic Ocean than the one Sarah serves at the Humble Moon.
We heard more bagpipe music, a fiddle and the excellent harmonies of Upper Miss — a band featuring our son Vinnie, his wife Danni (who met at a collegiate a capella competition), her former a capella group mates Katie and Grace, and Vinnie’s longtime friend, drummer Joe Hujet.
An approaching blizzard tried to crash our party, and the road home rose up to meet us far sooner than we would have liked.
Still, we loved our afternoon in the driftless region and were already penciling in St. Patrick’s Day in Stockholm next year.
In the meantime…
May peace and plenty bless your world
With joy that long endures
And may all life’s passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours.
