The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

  15. What fun pieces on your table. You know I must not have much of the Irish in me because I have very little that would translate into a St. Patty's table. I do cook corn beef though!
