Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 This is the second birthday of my youngest granddaughter. One of my great, great grandfathers was born in Dublin on St. 's Day. The fact that my son-in-law is British and some Brits still have issues with "the troubles" made me suggest to him that lind's birth was a very good reason to drink some Guinness -- although, given my druthers (and the ability to drink), I'd have a wicks.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Penny, Your son-in-law is in good company with Saint who was also British. He was taken at 16 by the Irish and put to slave labor on a farm in Ireland. After six years he escaped and went back home to Britain. Before long he decide to head back to Ireland as a missionary and bring the word of Christianity. Go figure.... how many people actually realize that Saint is British instead of Irish... Blimey. Now that's information worth drinking a Guinness over. May the luck of the Irish (and British) be with you today and always. Karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
