Upon responding to the most delightful pictures of Jan's grandkids dressed for St. Patrick's day and a reporting of her daughter's activities trying to catch a leprachaun, Jan sent this to share:
Hi Ruth,
We have been doing the wee-people coming to our house and messing up the place for years. The kids love it and want to catch one so badly. Especially Stephanie, who is 9. When I went to Ireland, she wanted me to ask someone who would know IF they reallly exist. I did and told her what the very educated man told me. They are real to only the ones who believe that they are real. She is so taken by the wee people. She looked and looked, Lisa said. Wants to catch one very much. I told Steph that the little dickens took all my green crayons and tied them all together. We keep up with the silly stuff and now the older ones are wanting to be in on it... They want to mess up and not get corrected for it. Smart and fun. We do have fun with it. And it is yet, another way for me to keep their being Irish alive. Glad you liked it and the photo.... Peace, Jan
I find your family practice so very endearing and wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this family fun with me. I will be passing it along to many others. ruth
BTW: Are you aware of the beliefs of the SmokieMountain Cherokees regarding wee people? If not, let me recommend a book that a friend of mine created and illustrated entitled “The Secrets and Mysteries of the Cherokee Littl People” Lynn King Lossiah is a bona fide Cherokee grandmother and award winning artist. She wrote this book in 1998 and the ISBN is 0-935741-22-4. I think you will love it as much as I do.
