I was born on St. Patrick’s Day – hence\"\"
\nPat’s Clover Patch<\/span><\/strong> is the name of my blog. Yes, my parents named me Pat because of my birthday on that holiday. Otherwise, I would have been Kathy, or so I’ve been told.<\/p>\n

I am 60-ish. I am crazy about my 6 “kids” more or less grown (2 girls, 4 boys) and their spouses and the best grand-kids on the planet.<\/p>\n

There are always at least 10 recipes<\/span><\/a><\/span> on my counter waiting to be tried. I read cookbooks. (And people, a cookbook is no good<\/em> without pictures!) Dough makes me especially happy.<\/p>\n

I love to read<\/span><\/a><\/span>. (The Invisible Wall<\/em> is my latest favorite book.)<\/p>\n

I cry during movies, concerts, plays, and alright, fine, even grocery store openings. I even cry when I laugh!<\/p>\n

Jewelry bugs me. And I have “anosmia” – no sense of smell.<\/p>\n

For some reason, complete strangers spill their guts to me.<\/p>\n

I could be the poster child for insecurity, except, of course, I would never want my picture on a poster . . . people would see my gray roots and my jiggle from too many cookbooks! (I loved the t-shirt I once saw a rather large man wearing. It said, “I overcame anorexia!<\/em>“)<\/p>\n

Bruce and I love to travel<\/span><\/a><\/span>, take walks, talk about Gospel principles, and watch the occasional movie. Bruce is RED – as red as red can be. I am BLUE – as blue as blue can be. Yup! Thunder and lightning! But we proudly celebrated our 40th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n
