Happy St. Patrick's Day


Wishing I Was Here

St. Patrick's Day is a day of mixed emotions for us. We always have fun celebrating, but in our heart of hearts we wish were with our family and friends here:

James Toner's, Baggot Street


having one of these


if we could score the snug like we did two years ago, we'd be very happy
(as you can see by Gar's face)


and if we weren't there, then perhaps we'd be here at Connolly's aka The Sheds
(this was leah's first visit)



or maybe walking along the river liffey




then again, we might be at toddy's in the Gresham Hotel



or we might be enjoying the parade



of course, if Niall was cooking, we'd probably be here, in his and Caragh's kitchen


 if the ferris wheel was up, we'd have to take a ride to see Dublin from above


we might take a walk up the Christ Church



of course, we've also been known to hang out in Fran & Fiona's kitchen


or maybe Gar and Gra would be cutting a rug at the Gardai Club


then again, we might just stay at James Toner with.............


missing dublin today, we'll do our best to muddle through

    1. We were quite happy where we were. Just always makes us miss our other-side-of-the-atlantic family.

    1. We DID have a great St. Patrick's day. It was a beautiful day. Had a really nice full irish breakfast. The neighbor's and our pal Charlie stopped by for some merriment. And we got to skype with dublin so all was right with the world!
