If I could chose a country to be from (other than the good ol' USA) it would be Ireland. I did name my youngest daughter Delaney Shannon - I tell her every ST.

It was hard to imagine, but your photos are excellent. What a crazy thing to do.<BR/>We used to have a bar here in town called the Shamrock. We spent a few Paddy's Days there drinking green beer. Oh, those were the good old days.<BR/>LauraAmongst The Oakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557263218213720034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-75747385653125353492009-03-21T19:15:00.000-05:002009-03-21T19:15:00.000-05:00I never knew about the dying of the water until Mi...I never knew about the dying of the water until Michelle Obama had the fountains at the White House dyed green to remind her of home. Fun!<BR/><BR/>In answer to your comment on my blog…I think one of the best albums is Nebraska. I like “Old School” Bruce. I wasn’t even a Bruce fan really until after college – I grew up in NY but moved to NJ where you have to like Bruce. :-) And now that I’m by Asbury Park…it’s practically compulsory! SO – he *was* practicing in the Convention Center on the boardwalk today!! There were groupies lined up – I took pictures b/c I think that’s the closest I’ll ever get to seeing him in his “natural habitat,” lol! I stayed for about 30 minutes until I realized how ridiculous I was acting. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hope you’re enjoying the weekend. It’s FREEZING here!Laura @ the shorehouse.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442672928319257413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-7650175555352923752009-03-18T21:17:00.000-05:002009-03-18T21:17:00.000-05:00Janie, it looks like you had a great time at the p...Janie, it looks like you had a great time at the parade!
