St. Patrick's Day

Today, everyone is Irish ... honorary if need be, right?

I found a great page about the Irish. My grandparents came to the United States from County Sligo and some day, I want to go and visit!

QOTD:

Ever been to a big St. Patrick's Day parade?

Years and years ago, when I was a little kid.

What is your favorite Irish saying?

I have a whole bunch. Today, my favorite is:

May those who love us love us
And those who don't love us
May God turn their hearts,
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.

Other favorites:

May the Lord keep you in His hand
And never close His fist too tight.

May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

May God be with you and bless you,
May you see your children's children,
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May God grant you many years to live,
For sure He must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few
And heaven is overflowing.

And one more:

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

Thursday Threesome:

Onesome: Happy-- No matter what's going on in your life, what always makes you smile?

The laughter of a child, especially one of my own ...child or grandchild

Twosome: St. Patrick's-- St. Patrick's Day is March 17th. Do you celebrate and wear green? Drink Green Beer? Ignore it?

I used to celebrate it a lot more than I do now. When I worked, I used to wear all sorts of green, buttons, ribbons, hats and what have you. We always have corned beef and cabbage and I always used to watch The Quiet Man. The corned beef is on and I am wearing a green tee shirt today. Erin go bragh!

Threesome: Day-- What day of the week is your busiest? Tell us about your schedule...

If I had to pick a busiest day, it would be Wednesday because that's when I usually run the most errands. On Wednesdays, I usually see Dr. R and Heidi usually needs to see the allergist. We're usually running out of stuff and so I go to the grocery store or the bank and put gas into the car.
