Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

St. Patrick's Day has always been a big

day in our Irish household.  After all, if

you suffer the slings and arrows of the

effects of Murphy's Law all year, you

need one day to let loose!

 

 

We started our celebration last evening

since it is the last time we will all be

together for dinner for awhile.  Of course,

we had corned beef and cabbage with potatoes.

 

Did you know Murphy means potato?

 

 

Some delicious Colcannon.

 

More potatoes and cabbage...

 

 

And Irish Soda Bread.

 

We finished off the evening watching

Circle of Friends.  Today Brennan heads

back to Bloomington.  Katie Rose is here

for one more night ~ perhaps we'll watch

the Quiet Man...

 

Best wishes from the Irish-American Homestead

 

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hallow of his hand.

 

All the best,

 

~ Ellen
