Not many people of Irish descent in this part of the country but that doesn’t stop them from using it as one more opportunity to get smashed. I’m actually 1/4 Irish. Enjoyed watching the Pgh Pa St Patrick’s parade on line last Saturday. All ages having fun.
Happy St Patrick Day to all, and watching the Cheltenham racing festival, where there has been many Irish trained winning horses, its been exceptionally good for many!
My wonderful, wise Irish/Welsh Father told me "You must plant a potato on St. Patrick's Day, before midnight, to have good luck all through the year!"
An old Irish superstition, of course, but i plant a potato every year!
