Top of the morning to ya and the rest of the day to myself.
My Dad always used to say that when he greeted us first on St. Patrick's Day. I suppose it may be an old Irish saying. Or so he believed.
He was of Irish heritage, but the family called Canada home since 1834. They left Ireland as very poor people and arrived here to help settle the land, clear the forest, build the roads and bridges, towns and cities. It wasn't an easy life, but was an improvement over the conditions that they left.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Thanks DE, the same to you and to Pretty.
I hope that you have an awesome day.
I took off from work early, the twins got sick on the weekend, and Harper is on the mend, but Willow is still down with it, and I am going to try to keep Harper entertained and quiet so that Willow can sleep this off.

@Juliaacv It was a fine day until I couldn't log into my desktop. I don't remember the pin number, but Robert's coming over on his lunch break tomorrow. Sure hope he can fix it.

That is a cute saying from your dad. I don't think that I have ever heard of a rich Irishman. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.

It is actually something that they say. I have very little Irish in me on my dad's side and my husband is mostly Irish on his dad's side. I love the culture and just everything about the Irish lol. Did you know the original color for Saint Patrick's Day is blue?
Have a great St Paddy's day!!!
