You're welcome! :O)

I'm glad I lived up to the reputation! :)

I haven't done research on all the different family lines. The one name I know is Garrett, the other is Timmerman (from Zimmerman) which is German. But I do know we go way back in the old countries.

IRISH BLESSING

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

Here are some more Irish sayings:

When the wind is howlin' in everyone's ears,
May you hear a soft, lilting breeze.
And if the rain is crashin' down,
May it only be dew at your knees.
If the ground 'neath your feet should quiver and shake,
I hope you'll be standin' with ease.
And never go hungry or wantin' for much;
May God grant you all that you need!

May your day be filled with blessings
Like the sun that lights the sky,
And may you always have the courage
To spread your wings and fly!

May we live in peace without weeping.
May our joy outline the lives we touch without ceasing.
And may our love fill the world,
angel wings tenderly beating.

Yep, I am.

Just cleaned a bit around the ping pong table in the basement. I'm guessing that's one of the first places he'll head when he gets home. He's REALLY good. :o)

HEE! HEE! HEE!

He's gonna be having some catching up to do! :O)

BTW, My nephwe who' s in S. Korea is supposed to be coming home in May with his fiance. (Yes, he met someone in S. Korea, she's not Korean, she's from California)

And guess what, they are expecting a baby!

I'm gonna be a great aunt!

I'm starting to feel OLD!

They are supposed to get married next May when she is discharged for service. I'll tell you more when I get more information.

I'm out for the rest of the day (guess where) so I better provide a translation: Blessings of St. Patrick's Day to yourselves, Freepers. And to John fake-Irishman Kerry, may a group of drunken Formorians soil your ill-gotten money.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all the Finest.

Thank you, Miss Dutchess, for this marvelous post with the green thread running through it...love the Pledge pic.

I have two nephews in Ireland at the moment, one writing the great novel, the other playing guitar and singing Johnny Cash songs in a hotel bar.

It's wonderful life, and a good day to be Irish...)

WHO THREW THE OVERALLS IN MRS. MURPHY'S CHOWDER ?

Mrs. Murphy gave a party just about a week ago.
Everything was plentiful, The Murphys, they're not slow.
They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the same,
If it weren't for what happened...Well, it was a doggone shame.

When Mrs. Murphy dished the chowder out, she fainted on the spot.
She found a pair of overalls at the bottom of the pot.
McGinty, he got roaring mad, his eyes were bulging out,
He jumped onto the piano and loudly he did shout......

"Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?"
Nobody spoke, so he shouted all the louder,
"It's a rotten trick that's true, I can lick the drip that threw
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder."

They dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor.
Each man swore upon his life, he'd ne'er seen them before.
They were plastered up with mortar and had patches on the knee,
They'd had their many ups and downs as we could plainly see.

And when Mrs. Murphy, she came to, she b'gan to cry and pout,
She'd put them in the wash that day and forgot to pull them out.
McGinty, he excused himself for what he said that night,
So we put music to the words and sang with all our might....

"Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?"
Nobody spoke, so we shouted all the louder,
"It's a rotten trick that's true, and we'll lick the drip that threw
The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder."

A St. Patrick's Day Wish For You

May your life be long
May your heart be true
May your path be clear
and your skies be blue

May your soul be happy
and your spirit light
May you know deep joy
May your dreams take flight

May God bless you
on this special day and always!

Kerry's Irish Lies


There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose misstatements could fill up a bucket.
Oft the truth he has bent,
Like his "Irish descent."
Of his record he says, "I'll just duck it."

Ed Gillespie, the Republican Party chairman

Irish, Too

Must he make it so hard to keep track?
First he's French, then he's Jewish, then black
Aye and begorra,
Sure'n tomorrow
It's the Irish John Kerry comes back.

— F.R. Duplantier
