I get so excited to see what Laura comes up with each month for her 3 Things Write with Me series. The prompts are so spectacular and relatable so let’s get right to it! And I hope if you're not joining us today, head over to Laura's Blog today to not only check out her answers, but to see what fabulous April questions are in store.
1. Do You Believe in Luck? Why or Why Not? Absolutely I do believe in luck! The unfortunate thing is, it just seems to strike some people more than others. I feel I’m kind of middle the road, I’m lucky in life and have won a few contests over the years. In fact, one time I won $50 from scratch off tickets twice in one week. However, let me tell you about a lady who was extremely lucky in a certain area and how extremely lucky we were to know her! As you may know, my beautiful grandmother passed away about three years ago. Shortly before she passed, my aunt found all these four-leaf clover’s pressed into her Bible. I don’t know if you know this, and I’m attaching it here, but the odds of finding a four-leaf clover Clover are 10,000 to 1. My grandma didn’t just find one, kids, she found 105 in her yard over the years! I feel it was the sweetest treasure to leave behind for us and a testament to how beautiful her heart was! After I originally wrote this, My Aunt sent me a photo of another 133 found in the Bible that she had inherited from Grandma!!! WOW!! 238 4-Leaf Clovers!!!
The jar my mom has filled with grandma's 105 four leaf clovers
The additional 133 in her Bible, look how tiny the bottom one is..precious!

My mom found this the other day and we truly believe this is 100% my sweet grandma!
2. What was your favorite thing about yesterday or today?
The best thing about today has not happened yet as I write this. The most beautiful friend and the sweetest kiddos are coming to my house today for lunch. Here’s the cool thing, we met on Instagram and live in neighboring towns! As I was scrolling through Instagram several months ago, I saw a box of donuts that are extremely popular in our area sitting on her lap and I was like are you from (insert the town where the donut shop it is) and lo and behold she was from my area. This girl is a rising Instagram star, is the leader of some fantastic giveaways and her style is spot on spectacular. If you’re not following her, head over to her Instagram and do. She is the absolute sweetest and I cannot wait to give her a big hug and talk life, our blogs and the gram!
3. Show us the last Picture you took and a Short description of it?
Well, it was these Lucky T-shirt pics! The weather is finally warming up enough to get more blog post pictures outside (occasionally). This was from our One sunny day last week. Now it’s just a matter of which T-shirt do I wear next Sunday on St. Patrick’s Day? The lucky one? Or the Shake Your Shamrocks?

So cool to find that your sweet grandma had found so many clovers.
ReplyDeleteI love the lucky tee. Super cute
All those four leaf clovers- SO special and how awesome to keep! Love that you connected through IG and are going to meet up, the power of blogging and social media is so cool! beautiful pictures outside- bring on the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fantastic that your Grandma found all those four leaf clovers. I have always loved four leaf clovers. I would love some good vibes, good luck sent my way. Things have been a bit rocky as of late around here, so I would appreciate any good vibes sent my way. I think you could be my lucky charm!
ReplyDeleteI love the lucky one because of the buffalo check but either one would be perfect for SPD! I love that story about your grandma and all of her 4 leaf clovers!! I hope your Monday is off to a sunny start of the this week. Have fun at lunch with your bloggy buddy and kiddos!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, all of those four leaf clovers found by your grandmother gave me chills. What a sweet thing to leave!
ReplyDeleteI love that story about your grandmother. How special that she found so many! I have only ever found two four-leaf clovers in my lifetime (that I remember, anyway) and I saved them! I just came across one the other day when I was cleaning out things. It was from when I was just eight years old! Now I want to look for more!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed to needing a wishbone, backbone and funny bone! I just love that your grandmother had so many four leaf clovers, what a great story! I hope you are enjoying lunch with your instagram friend! Have a great day!
ReplyDelete105 four leaf clovers! That is amazing! I have never even seen one in my life! At least not in real life, just photos. Your graphic tee is also very cute! I love the contrasting green against the white and yes, I consider myself lucky in life as well. Happy Monday!

YOU are just the cutest, Andrea! And I believe in luck too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, babe!

WHAT THE WHAT???? Look at all those 4 leaf clovers!!! That's incredible. I would think they'd brown & just crumble. That makes me want to start looking too... & that baby clover in the Bible... little clover, still big luck in it :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I cannot believe all of those 4 leaf clovers! That is truly amazing! Enjoy your lunch today! I'll check out her instagram feed!

I do not believe in luck anymore than I believe in Magic but its both fun cards to play. haha.
ReplyDeleteI Call it blessings and think everything happens for a reason.
However, all those four leaf clovers! I'm rethinking.

I don't believe in luck, per se, but I do believe in being truly blessed, and I'm blessed beyond measure! I like to think the Lord blesses us when we need it most! (Like you - I'm blessed to have found YOUR uplifting and sweet blog!)
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat that she found so many 4 leaf clovers; that's amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThose four leaf clovers your grandmother collected over the years is incredible! I found one in Ireland during our Babymoon! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteLove the 4 leaf clover story. My husband can simply look down and spot a 4 leaf clover. It's crazy! The kids and I use to try our hardest to find one and never did or have. Apparently some folks just have an "eye" for them. Certainly your Grandmother did.
ReplyDeleteOh, Andrea! That picture of your aunt's Bible with the shamrocks is priceless. I just love that picture. Oh, but wait! Was that your grandmother's Bible or your aunt's Bible? Either way, I love it and the precious story that goes with it! Thank you so much for supporting me and joining me today, Love. Shake those Shamrocks!!
ReplyDeleteThat 4 leaf clover story gave me major chills! I've never found one let alone probably even seen a real one! What a neat thing to find all of those. And WOW at how many were in that Bible. Such a great story to tell for years to come! Hope you guys have a Happy Paddy's Day this weekend!

I can not believe how many 4 leaf clovers your precious grandmother found. That's just amazing. I want to hear all about your meet up with Michelle today. I bet it was so fun. You may need to just change shirts half way through the day to give both of your lucky shirts time. They are both adorable on YOU!!! XO
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the lunch! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful time with your friend! Again, that shirt is everything!
ReplyDeleteThat is so amazing about all of the shamrocks from your grandmother and aunt. I
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I used to look for them all the time but never found one. How lucky to have met that lady from IG and I know you two had fun. I love either t shirt on you. :)
It's so fun to meet people on social media when you notice those little things by chance! And what an amazing story about those 4 leaf clovers! I love that she saved them all, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the shirt! And the stack of four leaf clovers is amazing. What a great legacy to share with your family.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that your Grandma had all of those 4 leaf clovers! How beautiful and so neat that she kept them. Love the tee on you, you have the cutest tees! Hope you enjoyed your meetup!
