Happy St. Paddy's Day!

''May the strength
of God guide us,
May the wisom
of God teach us,
May the hand
of God protect us,
May the Word
of God direct us.''
-St. Patrick

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone Irish,

Happy St. Pat's to you too!! I really like Irish and Scottish stuff! Still warming up to green though. :) I do like it as an accent color. :)

Ummm... I'm going to guess you were turning 10 years old.

Like the pictures. Is that a decorated log in the first one? I like it. :)

Thanks, Brianna for leaving a comment!
Yes, I love the log on the table...My Mum always does great Birthdays for us!
Glad you like Irish/Scottish things: My Mum's background is both!

Why did you put Norwegian flags in the log? The Vikings did raid and settle in Ireland and gave the Irish red hair (the Celts having mostly black hair). I have Norwegian ancestry, and am glad to see some others reconize the importance of the Norse (for good or bad:).

Yes...We are aware of the Viking involvement in Ireland! My mother decorated the Birthday table. I love studying about different countries.(and enjoy hearing about people's ancestry!)
The hair coloring info is interesting!
Thanks for commenting, Peter!

Hi ! :) Thanks for the comment on my blog :)
I was able to guess your age mainly because I have a sister the same age as you were in the photo. :)

That is neat about your mom! I don't know too much about my ancestry. I think we have German background on my dad's side, but I'm not really sure. :)

My name supposedly is a Scottish/Irish name. =)

Hope your day's going well! I've enjoyed following your blog. I like the spring look. :)

Hello!
Thanks for following our blog!
It's fun to see another family that has seven sisters! I only have on brother though, but he's the oldest so that makes up for the lack of brothers:)

Have a great day!
