Wishing you luck

I feel like we've all struck a little luck and a pot of gold with all the sunshine this week. Today might be a bit rainy but it looks like the rest of the weekend should be great.You may have seen on Instagram that we even took Juneau for our first Tubbs Hill hike of the season. It was glorious.20140314-162328.jpgIt's going to be so nice, I may even partake in some St. Patty's Day festivities; believe it or not, I never have  before. Although I've never been overly fond of bagpipes, kilts or kelly green. I don't even think I have any sort of Irish in my lineage. Perhaps this isn't my holiday after all.However, if you plan to partake in all the greenery and merriment, here's a complete (or almost complete) list of what's going on.This list was from today's Coeur d'Alene Press. You can read the full article here.
