Happy St. Patrick's Day!St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years.
On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century.

Now it seems that we celebrate this marvelous time with Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes, Carrots and a big pint of GREEN BEER. Al and I are wishing each and everyone of you a marvelous, fun and Happy St. Patrick's Day....
