Happy St. Patrick's Day


I'm sorry I won't be going to Ireland for the University this summer. I was lucky to go the last three years.

Enjoy the green.

  3. And let's not forget the photo essay for the Grand Ledge St. Paddy's Parade: (popup app is under Photo Galleries in www.lansingstatejournal.com home page)
    In Colorado Springs, they let us peace activists into the St. Paddy's parade after dragging people away last year:

  9. It always looks nuts there, through the TV anyway. Did you hear about the bad construction accident? A lady (and two construction workers I think) who was there for St. Paddy's day was killed by a crane. :|

  15. Ruth, I almost missed these beautiful pictures, you have been around I see, lucky you, to answer your question to Ginnie, no we do not celbrate St.Patrick's Day, the Irish in Amsterdam might though, but it is not a special day to the Dutch.

  17. Astrid, I suppose you might have to be Catholic to know it as a saints day, and it makes sense that you wouldn't celebrate it there. We have such a large Irish immigrant population here.

    I wish I could take new photos of Ireland this year with my new camera.
