The Meaning of G R E E N

According to some sources, green is (or means):

• The color of nature, a healing color.
• Youthful; not yet ripe.
• A term that means “go,” as in “All systems are green.”
• A symbol of victory, (at least it was in ancient Greece).
• The national color of Ireland, and all things related to St. Patrick’s Day.
• And today it also means acting responsible when it comes to the environment (keep it green!).

With St. Patrick’s Day here – Let’s wear our Green, Act Green, and Celebrate all that is Green!

Here’s a fun drink for the holiday:

Shamrock Shake
1 cup milk
1⁄2 pt. vanilla ice cream
1 – 2 drops green food color
1⁄4 tsp. peppermint flavor

Place all ingredients in a blender, cover and run on high about 30 seconds,
or until smooth and fluffy.
Makes 2 cups.

Thought Of the Week:
May your home be too
small to hold all of your
friends.
