By

You've gotta' check out this St. Patrick's Day Game!

Hope you're wearing green!

"St. Patrick's Day is observed on March 17 because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he died on March 17 in the year 461 AD. It is also a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and history. St. Patrick's Day is a national holiday in Ireland, and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador."  (http://holidays.kaboose.com/saint-patricks-day/quick_facts.html)

This is a fun site! I learned that;

  •  34 million Americans have Irish Ancestry.
  • Guiness Book of Records says the most leaves found on a clover is 14!
  • The harp is the symbol of Ireland
  • Their flag has a histroy, the green represents the south, the orange the north and the white represents the peace that brings them together.

On Halloween I found this really fun site to play Hangman. The skeleton mocks you and the words are actually challenging! The game is a lot of fun, so give it a shot! St. Patrick's Day Hangman: http://dedge.com/flash/hangman/

Have a wonderful day, I will be putting my corned beef in the crockpot in the morning!

Realtor,

Heh Holly,

Two good posts this morning.... Safety should always be first and foremost on all agents mind when showing a property anywhere.

Also I am 1/2 Irish so your St. Patricks day post was good for me.... March is always a great month for me. My birthday is on the 10th and then there is another celebration just a few days later. HOWEVER, I do not add any more years to my age now. It is just a day of celebration for me..... : )

April-I expect a lot of people started the partying early today, I have to work, though, so a traditional Irish dinner is as far as we're going to get. Maybe a cute green dessert as well!
