Twas a hard thing not boasting about me Irish on this site.
While I morn St. Patrick's passing, I reflect back on my the Irish side of my Family. My Granddad and Granny, fine Irish they were.
Not of the Lace Curtain type, down to earth good people.
I think of family still in the old country, dealing with the day to day.
To all the good Irish, a merry dew!
