Good morning Dutchess (-:

[Luis Gonzalez]

Aye dutchess but 'tis a fine , fine thing you did here lass. You brought a bit o' cheer to these old, tired bones, warmth to this Irish (snicker) soul, and a song to my heart.

EVERYBODY SING!!!!!

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

There's a tear in your eye and I'm wondering why
For it never should be there at all
With such power in your smile, sure a stone you'd beguile
So there's never a teardrop should fall
When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be
You should laugh all the while, and all other times smile
And now smile a smile for me

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like a morning Spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter, you can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy, all the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling, sure they steal your heart away

For your smile is a part of the love in your heart
And it makes even sunshine more bright
Like the linnet's sweet song, crooning all the day long
Comes your laughter so tender and light
For the spring-time of life is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret
And while spring-time is ours, throughout all of youth's hours
Let us smile each chance we get

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it's like a morning Spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter, you can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy, all the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling, sure they steal your heart away

American by birth, Texas-Irish by the Grace of God...that's me, wishing our Hostesses, and all my FRiends and fellow Freepers, a most auspicious and joyful St. Patrick's Day.

A truly beautiful thread today, dutchess...thank you.

May fair winds and fortunes fill your sails, and may your tankards all be filled with ales....)

A big, Irish, God bless America and our President, and his beauftiful Laura, our First Lady...and, all our troops putting it on the line for us, right at this very moment.

Begosh and begorrah, y'all...)

[Salvation]

And another prayer for our troops from St. Patrick's breastplate.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Christ shield me this day:
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every person who thinks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me
-St. Patrick (from his breastplate)

Good morning, Irish Sistah! (We can 'play like' we are today anyway) :)

You tweaked and added more to your thread after I last saw it, and it's just wonderful, Dutchess!

Can I have an Irish coffee please? And will someone play "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling"?

[Billie]

Somebody had a FReeper Anniversary Saturday, and I missed it. :)

Happy (belated) Anniversary, Joe Brower!

And a Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, too!

[JulieRNR21]

Top 'O the Morning to my dear Finest Friends!
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

[ST.LOUIE1]
