Happy Saint Patrick's Day from LaConner, Washington. The rain is pouring down, the wind is blowing westerly gusting between 40 and 50 mph, the fields of daffodils are blooming and the tulip fields are ready to burst into bloom. Just another spring day in the very green Skagit Valley. My Irish ancestors left County Kerry 173 years ago on their journey to Australia then on to a new life on Whidby's Island in Washington State. Mary Margaret

Greetings to you'al and Happy St. Patrick's Day from Austin, Texas. I will spend the day wishing to be back in Ireland for another visit and thinking of those wonderful ancestors! I'm thankful for my Hendricks, O'Brien (O'Bryant), and Kickham Irish ancestors. Jeanoyce Creech Wilson

Mary Margaret, Thanks for that tulip update. I have been wondering, but with all the drought reports.... yes, we are in a drought in western WA. I am so sick of sunny days and blue skies !!! Mary, bet no one will believe today was out first decent rain in weeks. Our daughter heard a noise while we were talking on the phone this afternoon. She lives in Seattle's Capitol Hill. She didn't recognize the sound of hail. Our son lives just down the road from the Mukilteo Ferry. We are across the Sound, just a ferry ride from either kid. Our third one lives down the road from us. Tricia M. Ancestors....

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. We celebrated tonight since we can't tomorrow: corned beef, boiled potates and cabbage. Lots of shamrocks hung up around Champaign, Illinois. The weather is nice today. Sunny, warm (mid 50s) and clear. As a child, we always had white carnations tinted green on the edges. We were, and still are, proud to be of Irish descent. Keep an eye out for that leprechaun who knows where the gold is <grin> Patricia

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, BC. Tomorrow is going to be a great day, I'll be serving corned beef and cabbage and home made Irish soda bread.

We have had three messages posted from three different parts of the world and I think that might be a good way to have a roll call for the next 24-48 hours. How about everyone, post a short message saying where they are living, anything going on in your area of note (not political), the weather and how they are going to celebrate the holiday. Happy St Patrick's Day from Sacramento CA. Nothing much going on here of any consequence. The weather is getting warmer, dryer and the trees are starting to blossom and little leaves are starting to pop out of the branches. Today I bought my corn beefs, potatoes and cabbages. However, our family will not celebrate until Saturday when many of us will get together for dinner, brown bread and soda bread. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus

More St. Pat's greetings, but this time from Chicago -- where the river has once again been dyed green. Will be thinking of all of the ancestors we're looking for tomorrow. Have a great day.
