My office was on the river...and, as you know, it's a 'big' day in the city! We now live in East Tennessee...an area which counts the Irish immigrants among it's early and important settlers. Have a great St. Patrick's Day!

Your grandmother Maude sounds very much like my grandmother Mamie, who was the granddaughter of immigrants from County Cork.

The area of Virginia where I grew up was home to many Irish immigrants. I do believe they were better welcomed there than in the large cities--at least I hope so. The Chicago River still runs green and thousands turn out to view that "greening" to this day. <br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-75213481379648657422014-03-17T01:35:41.362-04:002014-03-17T01:35:41.362-04:00Maude and many like her are a testament to the nat...Maude and many like her are a testament to the nature of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
