March 17th! Saint Patrick's Day! And what better day than this for me to sport a new green and white theme on my blog.
St. Patrick's Day is one of the most popular holidays with parades and celebrations the week long, and everyone, sporting some green, claiming their share of Irish. Corned beef and cabbage is the special on most menus in restaurants for the entire week.
I expect many of you will be participating in some sort of Irish revelry this St. Paddy's day. For us, it will be rounds of corned beef and cabbage with a glass or two of green beer.
Tonight, March 16, it was at our local British Pub. The pub was decked out with shamrocks, shinny green curly strips hanging from the ceiling patrons wearing shamrocks, green beads and some with flashing green eyeglass frames. There were pitchers of green beer on many tables. The corned beef and cabbage was delicious. Desert was cheese pie made with Irish Whiskey. Yummie! Tomorrow, with other friends, more corned beef and cabbage will be had in a more quiet atmosphere.
God Bless and:
May the wind be always at your back.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon you face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Happy St. Patrick's Day
