Wishing you all a very Happy St Paddys Day!!!
I'm getting in early with this greeting as the only person on the board (as far as I know) actually living in Ireland 
I hope you all have a great day and get to do something Irish, whether its drinking some green beer, attending a parade or dancing a jig lol..
We have some friends coming over for drinks tomorrow evening which will probably end up as a "hooley" by the end of the evening as they're a noisy bunch who enjoy some ceol agus craic, which for those that don't know means song and dance!
I hope all the amazing member's here on her2 who have shown me great support over the past four and a half years have a wonderful and fun day!!!
((((hugs)))
Tricia xx

Re: Wishing you all a very Happy St Paddys Day!!!
Have a great day. We are having our corned beef and cabbage tonight because my husband is traveling tomorrow and doesn't want to miss out. Therefore... one of my daughters and I might go to Mitchell's tomorrow - an Irish pub in our town (if we can even get in).
Have a great day and don't forget to wear green!

Re: Wishing you all a very Happy St Paddys Day!!!
Tricia;
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you. This is a big day for my family. Even though we are part Irish, my husband LOVES Irish. We went to Ireland on our honeymoon (25yrs ago) and for the last 28 years, we've had a St. Patrick's Day party. Menu is -- Lamb Stew and Guinness Beef. I probably got a little carried away with too much detail. Have a great day tomorrow.
May the road rise to meet. May the wind be always at your back.
Kris...

Re: Wishing you all a very Happy St Paddys Day!!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, Mrs. Keegan, and all others that celebrate this one! I've never had a green beer, but the corned beef and cabbage sounds good to me. And as one of Scottish descent can tell you- if you can eat real haggas, and like it, like I do, a green beer or many is a piece of cake. (Hi Jeanette! maybe you can send me your recipe for haggas sometime. I've never made it myself, but I've been wanting to try. I can provide the "sauce" for it myself)

Re: Wishing you all a very Happy St Paddys Day!!!
Those in Chicago can sip their Guiness down at the river that flows through downtown running GREEN. Interesting story on how that got started. Has to do with the plumbers local and tracing a source of pollution.
Became a tradition!
Guess Tricia doesn't have to worry about disturbing the neighbors, since the whole world celebrates the patron saint! Have great time.
