St. Patrick's Day . . . . . .


HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY



A good day for baking Irish soda bread - I did this one last year 
so had better get moving in the kitchen before this day is over!

Where would I like to be right now? 
Back in the Emerald Isle of course - we had such a wonderful trip there last year.
Instead we're donning our green something or other and heading to a local
 Irish pub for a Guinness later.
Have fun if you plan to celebrate.

Here he is!  Bob, my always smiling, amazing guy of Irish descent - and so proud of it - enjoying his
Guinness yesterday at the downtown Hibernian pub - and waiting for the fish and chips to arrive. 
It was busy, crazy, we made new friends while waiting at the bar for a table, enjoyed the merriment of everyone 'wearing the green' (Bob wearing his Kitty O'Se's shirt from our lovely day last June in Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland), and all having a great time. We then came home, lit the fire, invited the neighbors over,  popped the popcorn. . . . . . . . and watched that hilarious set in Ireland movie, WAKING NED DEVINE!  All in all, a great St. Patrick's Day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. . . . . . . . . .


Top 'o the morning to you all.
Whether Irish or not, perhaps you still celebrate 
today with a traditional pint of green beer, corned beef
and cabbage, colcannon. . . . . 

 . . . . . or my favorite, a nice loaf of traditional Irish Soda Bread.
Eat it all today slathered in good Irish butter, because tomorrow
 it won't be half as good! 


Bob, whose grandfather hailed from County Kerry, will be 'wearing 
the green' today!  Meanwhile, we are busy planning our upcoming trip
to beautiful Ireland this Spring - I'm excited as I've never been there.
We'll be roughing it through the glorious Irish countryside, searching for
 family among all those thousands of Sullivans who didn't get on a 
boat to America back when.
Guess starting at the pubs will be a good idea, after we kiss the 
Blarney Stone!!!

Enjoy your day - you must have a wee bit of Irish in you.
