Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, m' friends!


I know no finer day to wear the most green possible, cook your version of the traditional Irish breakfast, listen to and sing Irish music, get chills as you listen to the Irish Rugby team sing "Ireland's Call", and to celebrate your Irish pride. :)

        

My great-great-great-great-grandfather was born in Ireland. . . so I'm not sure how much Irish blood that gives me.  . .but I know it's enough to be proud of and wish you all a very hearty HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! :)

"May your troubles be less,
and your blessings be more.
And may nothing but happiness
 come though your door."
(An Irish blessing.)

Love,

A Top O' the Morning To Ya!

Ay, if it ain't one of me favourite holidays today. Erin go Bragh! ("Ireland Forever!")
 I do be hopin' ye be wearin' some green. :D

"Ireland, Ireland, together standing tall. Shoulder to shoulder, we'll answer Ireland's Call!" 
^ From "Ireland's Call," the Irish Rugby Anthem. ^
 Why don't you go give it a listen, eh? 
Here's a video of the Rugby team singing it. (Prepare yourself for goosebumps.)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day. 

I'm so glad to be back. From where? Oh, no where in particular. 
It's just that I'm back from an unexpected blog break I took last week. I had been thinking about doing one for a while, and than I did out o' the blue. Now I'm back. 
Hurrah! 
Back with ideas for up coming blog posts. They should be fabulous, so don't leave too soon. :)

This here is "Danny Boy" by the Gothard Sisters. ♥


An' now I'll close by saying
"Oíche mhaith agus áthas a bheith libh go léir!"
Or maybe saying it in English instead of Irish would work better:
"Good night and joy be with you all!"
(^By the way, those are lyrics to "The Parting Glass." It's beautiful.You should really listen to Celtic Women singing it. . .)

"May your troubles be less,
and your blessings be more.
And may nothing but happiness
 come though your door."
