Just as I was about to sign off it occurred to me to share a neat story with you two that my dad told me a little while back.
His mother was part Irish (and proud of it), her dad had come over from Ireland as a boy and ran away from his adoptive family to join Sherman's Civil War march at 12 years old, a drummer boy. This dear lady was so in Christ that every Saint Patrick's Day (which was her birthday as well) she would make a paper chain, like one does at Christmas for the tree - only this one was made of orange and green hoops, for peace in her Homeland and among her brethren. I just love that.

Thank you for sharing that .30Carabine. Maybe once agaian we will find similar peace and beauty in simple things and concentrate our lives only on God as your grandmother did.
