Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!!!!


May you always have walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire.

Happy St. Patrick's Day One and All!!

I had no idea. St Patrick's Day isn't a big deal down this way - too many of us have Irish ancestry to be bothered. But thanks anyway!

Neil, I don't know which part of Australia you live in, but we happened to be in Sydney on ST Patrick's Day 10 years ago today. It was a huge thing, with a big parade and lots of festivities.

Beannachtai na Feile Padraig oraibh !

Here's to a long life and a merry one;
A quick death and an easy one;
A pretty girl and an honest one;
A cold beer -- and another one!


May those who love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.

More and more this seems to be a holiday just for drunken young people.

Do you know what Irish Alzheimer's is?
You forget everything but the grudges!

May peace always be at your backdoor
so you know where to find it.

May good fortune always be in your pocket so you have it when you need it.

And may contentment always be in your heart so you never misplace it.

My husband informed me this morning that we have Irish in our back yard--Patty-O furniture!

---MAJOR GROAN---

But I laughed!

to the mad irish that lurks in us all, I offer Y:

Out of Ireland have we come
Great hatred, little room,
Maimed us at the start.
We carry from our mother's womb
A fanatic heart.

isn't that cheery? LOL...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May your home be filled with laughter,

May your pockets be filled with gold,

And may you have all the happiness

Your Irish heart can hold.

One more...

May the Good Lord take a liking to you,

But not too soon!

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

I've never been able to think of anything this doesn't cover:

"Here's to health, money, love...
and time to enjoy them."

Happy day to all my fellow Irish folk.

Thanks to everyone for all the great sayings, and to Green Dragon particularly for the turned ankle one, my favorite. Have a Happy Day all.
