.... tell me.. ARE YOU IRISH?
No, I'm not Irish. In fact, I really don't like St. Patrick's Day. I don't know why, but I have a real aversion to it. My nieces are Monaghan's though and have gorgeous red hair. I do love them a lot. Are you going to get to see a St. Patrick's Day parade in NY? that would be fun.

Way back in there is some Irish - know for a fact that on St. Pat's day my name always becomes O'Currie. Judy C

Yes, I have Irish roots. Learned that when my cousin began doing genealogy in 1996. My ancestor is Isaac Linn born in County Cork, Ireland sometime around 1800. His wife was Mary McVey, born in Scotland. I loved it when I learned we had "roots" as when teachers asked us to do a report on our heritage I didn't know we had any. LOL! My grandpa always said we were "Heinz 57". :-) Visiting Ireland is on my "Bucket List".

Scotch-Irish English Swiss-German Cherokee and probably something else. I'm celebrating 3 ways:
a corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and onions meal
entering giveaways via the quilting gallery (liked that fabric styles post from TH)
hand quilting
Know that you guys will have fun!

EVERYONE is Irish on St. Paddy's Day!!!
My dad was Scots/Irish, so I claim a bit. Do you know the response to: "Top O' the morning to you!" It is: "...and the rest of the day to you" I always liked that!!
Cute pic of you two!

First husband was Irish. Hope you are taking the the St. Patricks Day Parade in NYC. We went once when we lived in CT.

My father always said we were "swamp Yankee". Maybe that includes a bit of Irish. Anyway, aren't we all Irish on St. Patrick's day? Have fun.

No, sorry, I'm half Finnish and half Italian - no Irish in the mix. However, I am happy to help Irish people celebrate today and will be watching the NYC parade. Maybe you'll be on tv?!
Hope you have a great time celebrating St. Patrick's Day in New York!
