The Luck 'o the Irish to Thee, Lassie!!
We will be going to a parade on Monday that is held downtown. Mike Rowe (host of Dirty Jobs) is our Grand Marshall this year for the parade. It will be fun.
We have some Irish in my family history, so I hope for some of that Irish luck!! A pot of gold would be a-okay with me. I don't think I'll drink any green beer, but that's only because I've never liked the taste of beer. Maybe some green chocolate???

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
(traditional gaelic blessing )

Thanks, Naomi. You've been busy, haven't you? I grew up thinking I was Irish, and when I met my birth mom, I found out I am Scots/English. But - I am Irish in my core, and that's what matters!

Happy St. Patty's Day!
Finally a weekend of no bad weather here! We had parades yesterday (that shut down traffic unbelievably looooong - from 10AM to 3PM).
Save me a piece of that scrumptious looking cake!

Happy St Patricks day to you too.
I am not Irish, as far as I know but I have such a mixed lineage I might well have some in there lol.- Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 12:30:00 PM PDT

Thank you for these collectively kind wishes, Naomi. St. Patrick's Day brings many fond memories for me, none more treasured than the time I drove my radio station's SUV in the Montreal St. Pat's Day Parade. It's the biggest such parade in North America, and my outlet had a brightly-labelled Nissan Pathfinder that we brought out to all sorts of community events.
So we put on our logo-laden clothing, popped the sunroof open and joined the crowd. It was amazing. I idled behind a marching band, music blaring out a massive horn speaker on the roof, surrounded by a bunch of on-air staffers, walking around the perimeter of the vehicle. What a rush!
Of course, my mother wasn't so sure this was something for a so-called Good Jewish Boy to do. Which makes me laugh to this day.- Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 1:13:00 PM PDT

We had Green Dinner (or, officially, St. Patrick's Day dinner) at Tony's church last night, complete with corned beef, carrots and cabbage, Irish dancers and bagpipe playing. It was sooooo good and I got sooooo full. Mmmm. :)
My FIL is the one responsible for picking up sheet cakes from Costco. Since he has two DIL's who love chocolate, he always makes sure to get some chocolate cake. It helps to have an "in" at the church, I'm thinking. :)- Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 3:18:00 PM PDT

P.S. When we went to Ireland in 2006, I felt such a connection with the land. It was so very... odd, because I didn't believe I was Irish. When I got back home and visited my aunt in Iowa, I asked her about it and she said, "Ohhh, yes, we have LOTS of Irish in us. Lots and lots." Hmmm. Makes one wonder what our hearts know beyond our minds, doesn't it?

Hi Naomi.
I love that Irish blessing.....
Happy St. Pat's Day to you too. We are involved in a celebration/fundraiser tomorrow for the soup kitchen and homeless shelter.... a "Stew and Brew" at the Market downtown. Lots of Irishness will be felt....and shared by (hopefully) all walks of life.
cheers to you....- Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 3:35:00 PM PDT

How lovely it would be, to spend St. Patrick's Day with you, dear Naomi!
My Grogan grandparents taught us how to treat the day right.
"The day's to be treated as all days long to be treated."
Sounds good to me!- Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 10:04:00 PM PDT

Thank you, I am Irish, and that prayer said to me many times. I also have found several four leaf clovers in my own yard, as a child.
And so, I have been blessed and very lucky in my 50 years. May your day be full of Irish good luck.- Monday, March 17, 2008 at 1:44:00 AM PDT

Dear Naomi...I have not forgotten you or that prince of a cat ,Sweetie but I have been very busy with my mom who fell five weeks ago and finally I am coming up for a bit of air!.
This is such a cheerful post, so IRISH...I think we Goldens have a bit of the Irish in our blood but mainly we are of the Heinz 57 bunch!
Take care now and give that Sweetie a big Southern Ontario hug for me.
I hope that soon I will be able to gather up all the blog kitties and a dog or two and post them on my blog like I did last year...Love Terry
PS Sweetie still adorns my desk top! What a nice sight to wake up to..that darling white kitty with his beautiful blue eyes looking at me!!- Monday, March 17, 2008 at 8:46:00 PM PDT

I've never ever seen a tribute to paddy's day, like this one. I ponder if you have some Irish blood?
What about May 17? That's a challenge;))
