St. Patrick's Day

I'm not Irish. As a matter of fact, I'm one hundred percent German. But I married Irish. That was a mistake. (Sorry, just kidding.)

I soon discovered that the biggest holiday of the year is St. Patrick's Day. I got a green corsage on St. Patrick's Day the first year we were married. My new hubby, under the influence, blarney'd the florist to open up after hours so he could buy the green corsage.

Full of the "spirit", he wanted to take me out dancing. He was so outrageous in his behavior, (I was the shy one), I refused to dance with him. Didn't bother him a bit. He danced with a chair. Everyone in the place knew we were there and "we" were Irish!

The world's largest St. Patrick' s Day parade takes place in New York City.
