Today in Ireland, there are many St. Paddy's Day Celebrations, and of course the biggest one is in Dublin, where over 500,000 people are lining up along the parade route in Dublin to see the parade. Of course, we will be watching it on tv and seeing some of the highlights.
Our wee village of Dunfanaghy also had their own parade, and Joe and I stood there on the main street with our 99 cones and watched our parade. I am including some pics to give you the highlights of our event...nothing like Dublin, but very sweet nonetheless.We had music in the town square and just all around good craic.
Tonight the pubs are having music sessions and lots of parties, where the festivities for our town will continue.

Btw, I'm 1/4 Irish, so I can use the quote below. I think it's hilarious.

hello Micki, we had a guiness last night in your honour! I see from this morning's weather forecastyou have some well-deserved sunshine today! Kath
Hope you had a splendid time on St. Paddy's Day. I was wondering - what does it mean that you 'stood on the main street with our 99 cones'? What are cones, Micki? I need to learn a new word today!
