It has always been a family event for us. If it falls on a weekend we would always go to a festival and then come home to corned beef and cabbage with Irish Soda Bread. If it is a weekday the meal is the same and anyone who is hungry or just wants a laugh or two, comes on over for the same meal. It has been a tradition in our family as far back as I can remember. Such fun.

Oh, you're so lucky! The same here. The family comes together for the celebration. We might nick out later for cocktails, but that was more when we were younger, before the children started to arrive. Now we pretend we don't want to go out and call it "amateur night." Soda bread, boiled potatoes, and either ham or corned beef with cabbage are generally on the menu. Someone might make trifle to sweeten the ending, but there's always Colman's Mustard.
Then, pints.<G> And lots of music. DVDs of "The Quiet Man," "The Secret of Roan Inish," "Into the West," and a few others, rule the day. This year I have a new movie to add into the mix, "Quackser Fortune has a Cousin in the Bronx," with Gene Wilder and Margot Kidder. We saw this the other night, and I promise, anyone who was ever in Ireland around the '70s will love this movie.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Today is Grandma Beck's 90th Birthday.
She lives in Los Angeles, CA.

We're all gathering around the telephone to call her.
Sing Happy Birthday, and then listen to her giggle
as she unwraps our presents and blows out her cake.

And, we all (grandchildren, nieces, nephews) must be
dressed in green.

My aunt, Frances Ryan Foster, turned 90 on March 16. She lives in Bettendorf, Iowa. Her children hosted a reception for her on the 18th, and several of her nieces, nephews, great nephews, and many good friends came as well. Many of us gathered the night of the 17th to eat....get ready for it...Italian food! Oh well, it's a big world!
