(thanks Joanie for the cute bib)I have always loved this day...and with my name and Irish heritage I better celebrate!! We had our Irish dinner last night and my mom found a delicious recipe for Corned Beef which I will post later with my traditional Grasshopper Pie (and now I know why I only make it once a year....it is time consuming!!) I always remember my trip to Ireland with my grandparents on this special day and all the beautiful things I got to see, but especially meeting all my family members and learning the family history and seeing the original farmhouse and the train station where my relative departed Ireland for America from. This day is also very special becuase my Mamasan had Irish nicknames for all my sisters and myself. I was the Irish Shamrock so every St. Patrick's Day I used to get a special gift from Mamasan...thanks Megs for keeping that tradition going and for my special gift today!!! Hope everyone wore some green and said a special prayer to St. Patrick!!

I love looking at your pictures!
I did go into your archives to find the grasshopper pie ... it might be too late for us but I might make it anyway!
Just out of curiosity ... do you think you'll do the Menu plan Monday thing again? You have really good ideas. There's a few sights I've seen ... www.orgjunkie.com does MPM as well with interested parties linking to her page. Anyway ... I miss yours but I know you have your hands full! :)
that's cool that you give each other little things on St. Patrick's day. We do that, too. Although, this year, I only got cards out to my siblings.
hey angie...I would love to start doing MPM again, it was just so crazy there for awhile I was lucky if dinner got done!! keep looking, might start up again!
