A few of my friends of Irish descent like a cold drink on a hot day. One of my Irish friends who I play golf with every week is such a joy to my heart that just being around her for a few hours is a wonderful thing.

Just love you MaryB.

But....this brings us to an important issue, debated over the years.

Did St. Patrick really drive all of the snakes from the Emerald Isle?
Thank you!! That was well said !

St Patrick, according to legend, didn't actually drive "snakes" out. They are referring to Pagans as snakes. I wish there were no more actual snakes ANYWHERE!!
