A Million Four-Leaf Clovers

    Found in an autograph book tucked away in my cedar chest was the very first inscription, penned in my loving grandmother's own hand:

Love be true to her,

Life be dear to her,

Health stay close to her,

Joy draw near to her,

Fortune find what your gifts can do for her,

Search your Treasure House through and through for her.

Follow her steps the wide world over,

You must, for here is the four-leaf clover!

  The wish serves as one of the unifying motif's for The House on Harrison Street. (www.houseonharrison.blogspot.com)
Writing the ancestors' story has been as marvelous as finding a million four-leafed clovers.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
