I was taking my daily walk in the park today, and stopped at the pavillion to rest. There was a group of people from an adult day care center who had been taken to the park to enjoy the day. As I entered the pavillion one of the ladies in the group said "oh look, that man is wearing his Irish skirt." I went over to the group so they could look at my kilt. I was wearing my 5 yd Irish American tartan. I showed them the colors - the orange, white, and green of the Irish flag, and the red, white and blue of the USA. They remarked how beautiful it was and sang "When Irish Eyes are Smiling."

These folks are too often forgotten, and I was glad to bring a little bit of joy to their day - they certainly made my day.
