If your song does contain a small amount of questionable Language,

please put disclaimer BEFORE the video.

Thank you very much!***

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

I wish you this not only for today, my friends, but for always.... Have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

Our St. Patrick's Day Festivities

Robin, Trevor, Bill, Tim

We started off our St. Patrick's Day celebration at The Imperium Wine Room {our favorite little bistro in town} for a little something to eat and drink, and lots of laughter and conversation.

Next we headed over to Shannon's of Celebration, a fantastic Irish pub in town, for more fun, music and drink as we sat around the heaters for warmth. They have Guinness on tap... yummy! It was a wonderful night.

Hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day..... Until next time..... Lorie

Ferry Worker Suspended for Shamrock Graffiti

I found this story on AOL News written by Lauren Frayer. I couldn't believe the action taken by this guys employer... what do you think???

An Irish-American ferry worker has been suspended from his job on New York City's Staten Island ferry after being caught stamping shamrocks all over the boat to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

The man, Jared Largo, said he was just trying to spread Irish cheer ahead of today's St. Patrick's Day festivities. The rubber stamps, using a black ink pad, were about three inches wide, in the shape of an Irish clover.

Largo, who is a mate on the ferry and sometimes steers the boat, stamped the area around the ferry's wheel house, as well as near the time clock where employees check in for duty.

"I looked at it as the same thing as Christmas decorations," he told The New York Times. He said he'd planned to wash off the stamps after the holiday.

That wasn't acceptable to his bosses at New York's transportation department, who captured what they considered Largo's vandalism on video and summoned him to appear before an internal judge. At the hearing, Largo wore green shoes.

"The judge was like, 'What, you think you're funny, wearing green shoes here?' " he said.

Largo was suspended without pay for 16 days. The hearing took place last month, and his sentence runs through next week.

As for how he's spending his free time off work, Largo -- who is half-Irish -- told the Times he plans to attend New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade today.

"I was thinking of renting a green tux," he said.

Until next time..... Lorie

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Wishing you all a wonderful St. Patrick's Day..... Have fun and be safe!

Until next time..... Lorie, Bill and Nano
