11 out of 11

           I don’t know where Jenna came up with that number but that is how she had rated St. Patrick’s Day this year.  After being denied the opportunity of the annual Grunge Plunge (see here)  for the last two years not to mention the annual Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating downtown (thank you so much COVID) it was decided to involve several of the downtown businesses to participate in a St. Patrick’s Day celebration which Jenna has been looking forward since the beginning of this month it seems.

          Jenna started out the day by eating a bowl of Lucky Charms for breakfast. She decked out in green because Spirit dressing is a large part of personality. 

We left the house later than we had hoped.  She said Scooby Doo would be at Good Dog’s Bakery.  Though he represented the bakery, he was really across the street.  

We made our way around a few of the participating businesses and received green doughnut holes at TrueBlood realty and sugar cookies from MSK Hardware  - Jenna also received a leprechaun hat (which she ended up holding in place with her cone hat – which gave the appearance of a witch or what she thought might look like a green crayon).

          After exploring downtown Myrtle Creek we headed to the library in Riddle and assisted for just a bit before Roland summoned us to return home.  

Jenna had really wanted to participate in the treasure hunt, but we were at a point where the schools were letting out and I didn’t much want to drive around Riddle looking for clues (especially since I am not familiar enough with Riddle to know where to search).

          Later we all went for a walk so that Bonnie and Roland could get some needed exercise. Jenna was a bit sulky but did try to focus on what she enjoyed.  She said she rated the day 8 out of 11.

          The young women were scheduled to play volley ball, but did not have a ball to throw and so we stopped by Dollar General and retrieved this purple ball.

 When she returned home from said activity she wore a smile on her face.  She held her ball and the cup she had used for refreshments – her final snack for the night – Lucky Charms.  She said she rated the day with an 11 out of 11.
