irish.


Yes... Yes you should.

Like most Americans, my family line is a mix of many nations: German, English, French, Spanish, Native American, and Irish.

Since my family is such a mix. Some of my ancestors have been on the North American continent for 1,000's of years (Native American) and I have European ancestors that came to this continent on a boat called the Mayflower. So, for better or worse, I do consider myself just plain "American" on most days.

BUT on March 17... I'm Irish!

My mother tells us stories of our family history, the castles, the Druids, and the Irish "fey".

Today, I will wear green and give a nod to the Irish ancestors.
