Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

by Gretchen on March 17, 2004 in Fun & Miscellaneous

When law can stop the blades of grass from growin’ as they grow,
An’ when the leaves in summer time their color dare not show,
Then I will change the color, too, I wear in my caubeen;
But till that day, plaise God, I’ll stick to the Wearin’ o’ the Green.
-Author Unknown

Here are some fun links and quotations in honor of the day… Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, and remember, no patty-fingers now, if you please!
