I had to post today. It's St. Patrick's Day! Here in America, everyone can pretend to be Irish for the day, drink green beer (if that's appealing to you...gag), and have an excuse to party.
For me, it's a time to remember my trip to Ireland in 1994 and to honor my ancestry. I decided to post a St. Patrick's Day playlist. There are hundreds of songs to choose from, but I'm only going to post a few of my favorites. I hope you might check some of these out.
My next post will be soon. The plan is to post another little teaser from my book, Wayward (There are a couple of songs in the playlist that get a mention in the book).
May you have a day filled with sunshine, and good friends!

Hey my Irish friend! I hope you had a great St. Patty's day, even though I was with you all day in classes, and I wonder if you got to drink some green beer that night?! I look forward to your teaser next post!
Yes, I had a good day. I did not drink green beer, but I had a shot of Irish whiskey. I'm trying to decide what teaser to post, any suggestions?
Thanks for sharing your heritage! To my father's dismay, I did not celebrate in any way, wait...I had a beer on St Patricks Day. I'm so consummed with my many projects, I have tunnel vision. St Patrick is one of my father's greatest heros and it is a great day to kick back, remember and celebrate...next year I'll do better! Have a great day!
