Dear Fellow Journalers,
Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrick’s Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green.
When I was a youngster, my family honored St Patrick by going to Mass. When I was a teenager, I took up Irish Step Dancing so you know what I was doing every March 17th after that. When I got married and our son was old enough to understand, the leprechaun “spiked” the apple juice with green food coloring! Now our Granddaughter will learn about the “wee folk” from her Grandparents as we are all Irish!
Have a great day.
~Sallie.
