Happy Saint Patrick’s day to all of you, whether you be Irish or not. One grandfather and one grandmother were from Ireland, so I’m at least half Irish. However, we’re not having corned beef and cabbage but we are having German cabbage rolls instead. I lived in Germany for six years, and absolutely love the cabbage rolls. So, a little Irish and a little German-have a great day every one. Joan

Texas Irishman HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO YOU ALL!!!! Have you heard the story of our favorite Texas Irishman, "Uncle" Tom Corridon, who ran a small hotel in Iowa Park, Texas? Corridon claimed to have "sung himself into jail and out again" on one particular St. Patrick's Day eve in Wichita Falls. So filled with Irish pride was Corridon that night he stood on a public street and sang "The Wearin' O' the Green" loud enough to attract the attention of nearby policemen. They considered Corridon's singing to be a disturbance of the peace and took him to jail. This being the early 1900s and Wichita Falls being a much smaller town, a crowd quickly gathered and followed Uncle Tom and the policemen to see what the city judge would do with him. After the officer stated the complaint, Corridon reminded the judge that it was "St. Patrick's Day in the mornin'!" The judge sentenced Corridon to sing his song again which he promptly proceeded to do and was just as promptly discharged into a cheering throng. ;-) An Old Irish Blessing May the road rise up to meet you The wind be always at your back The sunshine warm upon your face- The rains fall soft upon Your fields, and Until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
