A traditional Irish prayer:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

A traditional Irish saying (you gotta love Irish humor):
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.
Check out The History Channel for a very nice tribute to St. Patrick’s Day.
The girls have Irish on both sides making them more Irish than their parents! Last year we had a very festive St. Patrick’s Day in San Antonio where they dyed the river green and held a riverboat parade!
And the “big” girls look so little in the pictures!
It was a very special St. Patrick’s Day because we got to celebrate with the IowAndrews!!
This year, we had a very simple celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, but we did manage to dye our milk green at breakfast . . .
And lounge around with our homemade St. Patrick’s Day pillowcases from Grandma Andrews . . .
All the while listening to The Irish Tenors & Celtic Woman on Pandora,
but Grandma & Grandpa Kane were listening to The Irish Tenors LIVE!
Hope you had a very Happy St. Patrikck’s Day!
Here are a couple more that you might have missed. Love Grandpa (I’m 1/2 Irish protestant- McCoy)
IRISH BLESSING: AS YOU SLIDE DOWN THE BANISTER OF LIFE MAY THE
SPLINTERS NEVER POINT THE WRONG WAY
May the lilt of Irish laughter Lighten every load, May the mist of Irish magic Shorten every road, May you taste the sweetest pleasures That fortune ere bestowed, And may all your friends remember. All the favors you are owed.
WHAT IS AN IRISHMAN…An Irishman is a man who……….. Believes to forgive is divine,
therefore doesn’t exercise it himself….
Goodness, the Irish sure have a peculiar sense of humor!
Oh, Grandpa Andrews’ comment made me laugh out loud! How funny!
I love your pictures! Your guys look great! It looks so green in Austin (and not just because of St. Pat). Things are just starting to green up here.
Cheers!
Here is one for you to worry about for the near future with so many Irish girls in the family!!
You can’t kiss an Irish girl unexpectedly. You can only kiss her sooner than she thought you would.
