HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

 I am sharing Ann's delightful card with you as many of us celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

It's wonderful and makes me feel very festive. Thank you for the lovely sentiment inside Ann. You are the bringer of many smiles throughout the year.

To Ann and Everyone Celebrating.

Wishing you 

A Very Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Love and hugs to all,

Denise

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

 

With thanks to our dear friend Ann for the very pretty and elegant St. Patrick's Day card, I wanted to put it on today's post along with these lovely sentiments inside.

Thank you so much for continuously spreading the joy Ann, and brightening my day each time one of your lovely cards pops into my letter box.

I don't have my usual recipe, but I do have a link to some Irish Soda Bread I made a while ago. You can find it here. There is also another link (not on my blog) but one called Parsley, Thyme and Limoncello for Irish Colcannon Potatoes. And if these don't paddle your own canoe, at this link you will find 62 Irish recipes you can make instead.

Irish Folk Song "Paddle Me Own Canoe" can be found here. Who knew?

So without further ado...Sláinte!

Pronounced slawn-che, which means "cheers!" or literally, "health"...

and I will leave you with an Irish Blessing.

"May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow and may trouble avoid you wherever you go."

I wish you all top of the morning, and may it be a wonderful day for you all.

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE AND A VERY HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY - THANK YOU ANN!

Always a happy day when one of Ann's greeting cards pop into the mailbox. There are cut-out features on the card that don't really show on these photos. They make the card even more special. Also, my photos came out a bit darker than the actual card. I need that light-box!

Thank you Ann! The kindness you share knowing that you make each and every card, makes them even that more special. Happy Saint Patrick's Day my friend!

A Happy Saint Patrick's Day to each and every one of you who are celebrating, here in the U.S., in Ireland and to those who are living in other countries.

I remember when I first came here and was working in Washington D.C., I turned up on Saint Patrick's Day at work, and someone asked me where was my green? I answered very innocently, but I'm not Irish. My younger state of mind didn't think I was allowed. The reply from several of my co-workers was that everyone was Irish on Saint Patrick's Day. From that day on I remembered to wear my bit of green. It was my first St. Patrick's Day in America, and I didn't realize what a very big celebration it was here.

To all of you, whether you are celebrating or no, have a wonderful day.

 

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

As someone told me when I experienced my first in America and a work colleague asked me where was my green, I replied with surprise, “But I’m not Irish.”  Their reply was,  "You don't have to be Irish to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day here.  Today everyone is Irish", and as I looked around, sure enough, everyone was dressed in green.  This was my introduction to Saint Patrick’s Day in the USA.  I have tried to remember to wear the green ever since.  

"For each petal on the shamrock, this brings a wish your way: Good health, good luck and happiness for today and every day."

~An Irish Blessing~

Thanks for stopping by and may the Luck of the Irish kiss you on the forehead, and remember, a good laugh and a long sleep are two best cures for anything.  And I will leave with that Irish Proverb.
