May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again, may God hold you in
The palm of His hand.
I Believe in the sun…
When it is not Shining.
I Believe in Love…
Even when I feel it not.
I Believe in God…
Even when He is Silent.
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

To all the Irish men and women I know and have known; and in particular this morning thinking of Tim, Kelly, Pat, Colleen, Mike, Jack, Jeannie, Becky, Hugh, Margaret, Jim, Claudina, TP, Paul, Mary Pat, Father Kelly, Father Tobin, Ginger...and all those Irish family and friends I am missing - thank you for the memories. I consider myself very lucky to have shared paths with you. I hope you are sharing a bit of blarney and some Irish cheer today. God bless you, God Bless America and Erin Go Brah.

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 pow'r 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, 'tis like the morn in 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 and light.
For the springtime of life
Is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret;
And while springtime is ours
Throughout all of youth's hours,
Let us smile each chance we get.
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in 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.

I'm making up a recipe for a green punch to have on St Patrick's Day. So far it's
7 Up Soda
Lime Sherbet
Lemon Lime Kool Aid (it's a green color)
Put some hunks of Lime Sherbet in the bottom of a punch bowl or pitcher.
Sprinkle a little Lemon Lime Kool Aid on top.
Pour in 7 Up soda.
It looks really cool as the 7 Up foams up with the green kool aid, you get a nice green tinge on the foam.
Make and serve in clear containers so your guests can enjoy the lovely green color.
Don't forget to check out monkey's st. patricks day for other great ideas.
I put together a page of clipart for Saint Patrick's Day on mysite at Verizon.net. Feel free to use the clipart for whatever sort of St. Patty's day thing you might be working on. Please note that some of these files are .wmf and require use of Internet Explorer to view (sorry all you Firefox fans..I couldn't figure out a good way to convert them to a format Firefox likes).
-------------------------------------------------
Start with these ingredients.
Pour on the 7 Up
You have a nice pretty green concoction.
