Parade Day and I Can't Go!

My paternal ancestors hailed from the North of Ireland - I have always been proud of my Irish heritage - what little I know about it. I really like the fact that I do not have to pretend to be Irish on this fun holiday - I can claim it - loud and proud.

I was disappointed this year by not being able to attend our city's annual celebration, I was so looking forward to showing it all to my dear Hannah. Circumstances beyond my control have kept me at home today but oh how I would so love to be downtown this afternoon enjoying the parade. Maybe next year - until then, I will just celebrate here at home, eating shamrock cookies and wearing my favorite IRISH t-shirt.

Because I wasn't able to attend the parade this year, I found this one - straight from Dublin to my computer - enjoy the highlights!



Happy, Happy!
