March 2026 Slice of Life, No. 17
In the tradition of the Irish, I had a delicious lunch of corn beef, boiled potatoes and carrots, and a braised cabbage wedge at the MarKum Inn with my husband.

Corn Beef, Potatoes, Carrots, Cabbage

In the tradition of the Irish, I share two blessings, from me to you.
The first one is a biblical blessing. It is special to me because at my wedding –immediately after my husband and I were introduced as “Mr. and Mrs.”– we paused and our soloist sang these words over us.

The second blessing is a well-known Irish blessing, one I’ve loved since sixth grade. I enjoy Irish blessings — the folklore, the deep faith, and the music of them when they are read.

In the tradition of the Irish, in an earlier SLICE, I share how to write a limerick, and I share the limericks I wrote.
