March


How do you celebrate St. Patricks Day?


1) eating corned beef and cabbage


2) wearing green so you don't get pinched


3) Talk Irish





Well, I like to wear green, since I don't like to be pinched. But, I do like corned beef and cabbage. Irish talk I cannot do since I'm full blooded German.


Did you know that Irelands is 8,000 years old with 5 million people? Ha, just read that. That is one place my son Tate and I would love to go visit. To go to a Pub, listen to the wonderful use of language. Most people don't know this about me but I love Irish music and dancing.To meet the warm friendly Irishmen and ladies of course. Just to see the landscaping would be breathe taking, i'm sure. Maybe some day *sigh*. And if I do go maybe I would see a leprechaun or a fairy.....


Here's a recipe I will share with you try it on St. Patricks Day your family and friends will love it...
