Céad míle fáilte! A hundred thousand welcomes seems a fit welcome to the week kicked off by Saint Patrick's Day. The four-leaf clover has been associated with luck.

Bridget Clancy was a hearty lass, fair of complexion; pocked by the sun's warming rays. A freckled face beauty, her auburn tress framing God's tender masterpiece. Around her neck, a heart-shaped locket - a gift from a love long lost in the trenches of time. A loving vault carrying his picture and the four-leafed clover they had found in the fields where they learned life's forlorn lessons. She looks at his photo often. She rubs the good luck charm on occasion. And she keeps the locket with her always.

She writes advertising copy, runs gleefully with scissors, plays well with poems…and has also penned a couple of children’s books that need a little magic fairy dust to find illustrator and publisher. You can read her stuff at whimsygizmo.wordpress.com.
Laurie Kolp is the other half of our Sunday tandem. She is a mother of six (including husband and two dogs)and maintains three blogs with numerous publications to her credit which includes most recently Chicken Soup for the Soul: Devotional Stories for Tough Times, The Dead Mule’s School Society of Southern Literature, Christmas Miracles, The Christian Communicator, Skive Magazine.
