Happy St. Patty's Day! An Irish Blessing

An Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

As a young girl I remember my momma

was very interesting in our family roots.

So she began to go through both sides of my

families geneology.

She was very interested to learn that my

granddaddy Hanvey's family many

years ago came over in the 1860

Irish Potatoe Famine...and

their families settled in the North, New England

states and my daddy's family

settled in South Carolina.

I also have wonderful memories of  family

gatherings for Corned Beef and Cabbage

dinners.  Now, my mom still

has these same dinners each year but

I have to miss them due to where

we live.

I guess I still have my memories to

keep me happy but sure wished

I coulda been there this year to

help them celebrate

St. Patricks Day!

Wishing you all a little *Luck-o-the-Irish* Today!
