It has been a good day. All of the girls at our house celebrated by wearing festive Welsh clothes... even little Lili in her "I Love Wales" tshirt. At school a mini Eisteddfod was held wherein Sophie recited her dragon poem and Emma's class sang a song called Arethio Cymraeg ("Speaking in Welsh"). Emma also received the 3rd place award for Art as well as a special award for nice handwriting. As you can see from the photograph above, Lili celebrated the day by practicing her Cher impression. Oh, If she could turn back t-iii-ohm. It was a good day for all!Tonight we had leek and potato soup, "Abargavenny Salmon," tea and Welsh cakes, and when we talked to George, who is currently on a business trip in China, we found out that he actually dined on a very similar menu all the way over there! He celebrated St. David's day with all of the Welsh Dow Corning employees who are currently working in the plant in China.
You know we take advantage of any excuse to celebrate. So... Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant Hapus!
Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon. (A nation without a language is a nation without a heart.)

So, if it's estimated that there are students in Broward County speaking some 200 languages... Is that why we lack heart? Or do we have too much?
