Love your collection of Irish books, the poem and above all my favourite blessing “may the road rise to meet you”. Photos your your ancestors too. Happy St Patrick’s Day and the “Top of the Morning to you” too.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! I'm just about 1/2 Irish myself as my mother is almost 100%. Love the limping poem -- never heard that one but you can get an "Amen!" on that one! Lol! Lovely post with all the green, old homes, and family photos.
We are both confident that we aren't one speck Irish though we may be surprised when our Ancestry DNA results come. (We got the vials, spat into them, and mailed them in about a month ago....) But I just took soda bread out of the oven and there's corned beef in the crockpot now!
I too have a little Irish in my background. A friend sent me a list of several Irish sayings, and also a copy of a song in our hymnal "Be Thou My Vision" with the words, which is set to an Irish Melody, a beautiful song indeed, words and music! You do have quite a collection of Irish books! Have you read them all??? I don't see how you would have time with all the quilting you do! ---"Love"
DH's immigrant ancestors sailed from Ireland but we are pretty sure they were there in exile from England (home of the surname and lineage). Lovely post today.
All time favorite movie is Darby O'Gill and the Little People... We always thought we were Irish, Italian and Native American....turns out we are mostly Scottish, English really small amount of Native American....not a spec of Italian!
My great, great grandfather was from County Mayo, but came East to Liverpool rather than going West to America. His great, great grandson now lives in Illinois! It's a funny old world...
Your little guy at the end, with the label Eddie... Is that an Eddie Walker character? She was in our quilt guild! Very collectable as she quit a few years back. Quite the collection!
