We always celebrate St. Patricks Day. We watch the parade and QVC [they sell products from Ireland and have the Irish vendors there]. At night we have a cake or cupcakes and green jell-o. We try to read a book about St. Patrick. My paternal great grandfather was named Patrick.When my father was alive we always celebrated St. Joseph in honor of his name. Thank You for the list of books. We do have a few of them but will try to purchase some more.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL. Wishing you a day of fun and a year of happiness and blessings. God Bless.
