Happy St Patricks Day!

We here, being mostly on the Mc

side of Irish, wish all of you a lucky day..

BV and I will be taking the lil Mc's to the local Irish pub-restaurant

to drink (for the kiddies) green milk till it comes out the noses of the little tots, and

purely set a bad example by imbibing a little too much adult bevs ourselves.

tis love and beer that keeps us here. Heres some cabbage for ya!
