Hello everyone and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
As you've all probably noticed by now, we have a small sign-in gift, and a couple of things available in the Smuggler's Shop to help you celebrate the day. I was hoping to do a little more for the holiday, but just couldn't make it happen with everything else going on right now.
However, I did put together a crossword puzzle* that I thought you might appreciate, and I'm going to encourage you all to use this thread to share a limerick, a story, some St. Patrick's Day artwork... to create and share another puzzle** or anything else that you'd like to help celebrate St. Patrick's Day, or share a little joy...
[click on the image to open a larger, workable image]
*I have not yet completed the puzzle to check for mistakes, etc., but wanted to post it so you guys could make an attempt with it. [edit: it's fine; I found all the words; I'll post a "solution" later, if you'd like]
Also, please note that this is just for fun - it's not an "official" activity. OH! I should mention that the words in the crossword puzzle go forwards & backwards, up & down, and diagonally...
**There are several free online tools available to create various puzzles. If you find one you like, or create a puzzle for us to do, send me the image or the link and I'll put it on our server.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
A small story about my grandma:
She was born at home, on St. Patrick's Day. The doctor who delivered her wrote her name as Patricia on her birth certificate, despite what her parents wanted to name her. And thus, her name is Patricia, for St. Patrick's Day.  I just tried to call her to get a little more information, but she's not home right now.

Lady Riley, it could have been worse, she could have been born on April 1st and called April Fools!
What do you call an Irishman who likes to eat outside?

LOL - that's cute, Scarz!
Ok, my turn... kinda St. Patrick's Day themed...
When will the little snake arrive?
I don't know but he won't be long...
By the way, now that St. Pat's is past, please feel free to keep this thread -and this idea- going.

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day!  I wanted to reply yesterday, but I never got around to it.
Those are cute jokes.
Riley-Do you know what they actually wanted to name your grandma?

She told me once, but I don't remember. I was trying to get a hold of her on her birthday, but she hasn't called me back yet.
