They say they found a leprechaun!Tell me. Ist der a holiday vere de Dutch are honored?
Love your new picture.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congratulations on making those beautiful pies and not having any. That is nothing short of amazing! And I am part Irish, but somehow this holiday seems silly to me. Our Norwegian guests had no idea what it is all about....
ReplyDeleteI think I have enough Irish to fill my little finger.
ReplyDeleteWe are mutts, little English, Irish, Cherokee and who knows what else!!!
I love the picture of the cat on the bed. We cannot have cats anymore cause grandchildren are allergic to them.
Sometimes when I eat out I celebrate your heritage by going Dutch :)
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't quite what I had in mind, Bob.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joy.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute kitty! :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids were ready to tell me about St. Patrick today, but they didn't understand why I asked them if they wanted to wear green to CBS.
In Germany this holiday is unknown, at least it was 15 y. ago when I left the country.
ReplyDeleteBut here's to all the Irish out there: Cheers!
Love the photo of your cat on that gorgeous green throw...love that!
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't look like you have any Irish blood in you! LOL! I can't think of a Dutch holiday...you should start one! :)
Wanda...I have Irish and Cherokee, ancestors, too! :)
Maybe I should go with my German ancestors instead. Gudrun?
ReplyDeleteBetsy, that is an afghan my mother made me for my 22nd birthday. It is a favorite and much treasured.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I told B & B when they came home from school dressed in green!! I, too, am dutch/german. And I said it wasn't fair that only African American, Italian and Irish get to be celebrated. I think we lost out because the dutch are practical and hard working -- no little people for anyone to latch onto and get excited about. (Plus, when all these "be kind to strangers" holidays started . . . . I think being Dutch and/or German was the norm.)
ReplyDeleteIt is time for the teachers to have a "What's YOUR heritage day?" that combines them all. No more special treatment for just the Irish, Italian and African American. (Besides -- Don't you think the Dutch/German are a minority now!)
Vell, if der ist not, den yust meybe der should be!
