About me
Welcome Everyone! To begin with, my given name is "Laura" but throughout my life it has been shortened to "Lar", "Lor" and then changed by some to "Laurie". “Happy” every day to everyone! The word "happy" comes from an old Norse word “Happ”, which means chance, luck, or lot. Happiness is that which happens to you by chance occurrence. I consider myself to be mostly of Irish decent from my Mother's side, with my Father's family being Norwegian and English. My hubby was born in England to Polish parents. Sláinte - To your health! Czesc (Chesht) Hello in Polish ~ "Smacznego" is Polish for "Bon Appetit" I am a wife to a dear and loving husband, a mother of 3 great children(2 daughters and a son), a grandmother of 2 grandsons and I took early retirement from teaching. ~*~*~*~*~*~ "Did you ever go a-courting as the evening sun went down, and the moon began a-peeping from behind the Hill o'Down? As you wandered down the boreen where the leprechaun was seen, and you whispered loving phrases to your little fair colleen. Yes you did, so you did, so did she and so did I. And the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry. Oh, wasn't it the happy days when troubles we had not, and our mothers made Colcannon in the little skillet pot." ~*~*~*~*~*~ 'Life isn't necessarily about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.' ~*~*~*~*~*~ What the eye does not see or the ear does not hear, will not cause an ache in the heart. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Cha bhi fios aire math an tobair gus an tràigh e. The value of the well is not known until it goes dry. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Fear sam bith a loisgeas a mhàs, ‘s e fhèin a dh’fheumas suidhe air. Whoever burns his backside must himself sit upon it.
