Hi Viv,

The corned beef and cabbage will be on the table tonite. And I'll tip a glass to you too. Course it'll already be over for you by the time I get to start over here.

Love, Kat

My mothers family may have been Irish, but I always got in fights on this day.Everyone else was pinching, and I was punching. Just because I didn't remember to wear one .... color. No offence to anyone that likes St. Patricks Day.

[Guest ChloëC]

Just realized it looking at this thread and looked down and saw I was wearing green. Actually, I'm not particularly Irish (tho there is an Irish connection in my family history, my gg grandfather married the Irish Postmaster's daughter, and their daughter was born in Ring, Ireland, but I think both parents were vedy, vedy British. Isn't my name below sort of Celtic? Maybe I'm more Irish than I thought! And I do have green eyes, the only one in my family to have them.).

Anyway, for years, I actually tried to wear something orange on this day, tho pretty much no one got the jest. (ok, Northern Irish, the ones the regular Irish fought for years and the reason for the IRA and all that, were at one time called Orangemen, due to the colors of their standard as opposed to the green on the Irish flag, and, uh...)

Well, happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. At least we're past having to beware the Ides.

their name from William of Orange or King Billy who defeated

the ex King ,James ,a Roman Catholic at the River Boyne in

County Meath in the year 1690 . Have a nice day Hun , luv,viv

My kid's heritage includes Manning, O'Mannion, Manley, Ayers, Tobin (my side) - McMann, Fitzpatrick (mother's side).

[Sally]

Well I was having one of those bad days yesterday and did not post anything on St Patrick's Day - A real shame as I have members of my family from both sides of that division - I try to wear some green and orange but that confuses people.

So here I am as usual, a day late and a dollar short but I have brought you greetings.

Erin Go Bragh(lesss)

Love ya,

Sally

[Guest viv]

[Guest BeckyTG]

Sweet Viv,

Just for you I did have corned beef and cabbage and irish potatoes for dinner. I had no choice but to wash it down with a few beers as well.

It was sooo good that I could not control myself and I ate far too much. Well, that kept me from howling at the moon too late, you know. It was really good and I can now understand why it's a favorite.

Much love to you, my Sweet Irish Girlfriend,

Becky
