I'm pretty sure my Irish ancestors somewhere would be proud of the 10K run we did as a benefit in Asheville this past w-e. Lots of people were dressed up, in lots of green, for the Shamrock run, which proved to be a challenging 6 miler up and over quite a few hills in our area of town. It threatened to rain but held off, giving us a beautiful day to enjoy the views from Sunset Mtn Rd toward downtown and the mtn range west of town. As one woman said to me as we were finally, finally crested the top of the biggest hill, "Well we worked for that view." Yes, we did. Holly and I rewarded ourselves on the way home with some delicious treats from the Sisters McMullen bakery which has just relocated (again) to another spot on Merrimon Ave-our part of town. We knew them when they still made doughnuts (now left to Dunkin D, just not enough profit in those...) and were located just around the corner from us. Now they specialize in cakes and more traditional bakery treats. Just fine by me, as they're all good and yummy.
Wear green today, pick up a shamrock, and spread some good luck today. Happy St Patrick's Day!
