  1. First 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....

  2. I think I have enough Irish to fill my little finger.

    We 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.

    My 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.

  9. Betsy, that is an afghan my mother made me for my 22nd birthday. It is a favorite and much treasured.

  10. That 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.)
    It 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!)
