Thank you for the article. I changed my post to St Patrick's Day.

Thanks for another 'green' piece of mail......got a card today from Maryanne!

Thanks for sharing the article.......I think it would be the conservatives and Catholics who want to keep it 'St Patrick's Day'.

It has been so fun to send and get cards for some of the same people I have done the Christmas card exchange over the past years.

Today's mail brought a lovely card from Maryanne that brightened my mood today :-) Thank you for the card.

I, personally, dislike the term "St. Paddy´s Day," and I am not a liberal at all.  The term does sound disrespectful to me—but I am not Irish (not from Ireland and not of Irish heritage), so I may very well not be in the know on this kind of cultural thing. I also dislike it when folks say "Turkey Day" for "Thanksgiving," because although turkey does figure large in the holiday meal, it´s not the reason for the celebration. Anyway, that may simply be my own natural crotchity-ness coming through, and it´s definitely just my own un-asked-for opinion. lol

Happy St. Patrick´s/Pat´s/Paddy's Day, everyone!

An Irish Toast (supposedly):

There are four things you must never do: lie, steal, cheat, or drink.

But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love.

If you must steal, steal away from bad company.

If you must cheat, cheat death.

And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

Happy St Patrick's Day to all. Beautiful toast, Robin.

Thank you for all your sentiments and cards.

It has been a pleasure to moderate this swap.

Luck of the Irish to you, Lynn

Thank u Robin for card & insert!

Thank You Lynn for putting together the swap this year. 

My mom and I was in downtown Chicago this morning (very cold!) to see the Chicago River dye green.  

Towana,

I wish I could have seen the river dyed green. My daughter is visiting Chicago next weekend and running in the Shamrock Shuffle

Shamrock Shuffle is one of the popular run/walk races that occur early in the year.  Sunday for the race it wil be sunny and in the 30's in the morning. 

My neighbor brought over two cards that were mixed in her mail. Thank you Deb and Katherine for the St Patrick's wishes!!

Thanks to Lynn for organizing this seasonal card swap!

Thanks for belated st. Pattys day card Deb! 

Linda thanks for resending the st pattys card! We've had a fill in mailman for awhile now.
