AND HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY TO ALL!!!
Heading out back for some Irish Coffee to start this gorgeous day with. Pipe is an old 1940s Irish Peterson 440 filled with some of the last of my supply of Frog Morton Cellar tobacco. ( Ill be so sad when its all gone as its not obtainable these days... sigh
) Just for grins I threw an old Tape of the Norman Blake "Whiskey Before Breakfast" album lol!
Put some soda bread in the oven and the rest of dinner is ready to warm up. Ill be back later For a good food and Guiness picture... Hummm which green hat should I wear? Maybe a tweed cap Instead
By the way my Mothers family surname is Carr... Some from County Cork down south and some from up in Ulster ( they were actually some of the Scottish Kerrs that migrated to Ireland in 1700s. They Anglicized the Kerr to Carr and later actually intermarried with real Carrs..... When my great, great, great Grandfather migrated to America in the 1820s he ended up in Putnam Co Tennessee ( guess it was actually still North Carolina back then). He found some non-related Carrs already living there and decided it must be a good place to live if they havent run the Irish off. lol To this day in Cookeville Tennessee, there are several Carrs.... half related and half un-related
Sláinte!
