Find a partner or grab your favorite beverage & listen to some Irish tunes .A couple of wave files - full-length, lilting, Irish melodies - they are so beautiful! I hope you can open them, or "save target as" to your hard drive and listen to them later.
"My Wild Irish Rose" ~ John Gary
"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" ~ John Gary

"Irish Lullabye"
"The Last Rose of Summer"

Why Saint Patrick's Day?



Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.

In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

Hopefully (fingers crossed), by the end of summer/early fall. Assuming I don't go through a zillion headaches regarding my student visa!

Sept 15 sound good?

What did you think about the Tower of Terror? Isn't that awesome? It's always fun trying to coordinate goofy poses on that ride when the flash goes off.

I was at Disneyworld in 1994 and went on that ride there. I have been on it a few times here. This was Eric's first time on it though. I actually was laughing in the picture, but everyone else had a scared look, but I knew what to expect and when. I had my hand around my son's little legs though and he went flying up, even with the seat belt. I was looking for the guy that gave out the stickers saying "I survived the tower of terror" or something like that. They used to give them out and Eric wanted one.
