Patti: I guess we need to change it to St. Patti's Day! And does Kid One ever get to use her Gaelic? I watched a travel video recently and I was mesmerized by the sound of Gaelic spoken by the locals.
Sornie: I love both Scottish and Irish bagpipes and finally learned the difference...Scottish bagpipes are blown from the mouth while Irish bagpipes are "blown" using a bellows under the arm. Can you tell I'm studying all things Irish in preparation for our trip there in a few months? :-) Thanks for stopping by.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too! Ireland will be here before you know it...and that's no Blarney!
Happy St. Pat's to you too. I have lots of irish in me, but I don't like unnaturally green food -- not even green eggs! :-) Go figure...
Lynn: Thanks for the holiday wishes. Now that we're going to Ireland, suddenly there seems to be Irish blood running through my veins.
Pam: No green eggs...I'm disappointed! ;-)
Joan: My maiden name is a "Mc" name and I'm about one-quarter Irish. I love "St. Patty's Day" because my name is Patti...I'm a simple soul.
Kid One took 3 years of Gaelic for an enrichment course...actually she is more Irish than I because her dad is mostly of the Irish persuasion.
Hope you had a good holiday.

Joan - Kid One just told me "it's such a confusing language" and words are not pronounced like you'd think they would be.
She doesn't use it, but it was a fun class to take.
And don't forget the bagpipes. In an Irish town, they are a tradition which I enjoy.
