Incredible Hulk butts, brought to you by Jean and Cherie. | Jean in her rediculous dress she bought at a thift store. (It was so bad, I had to buy one, too.) | Can you believe we found two green dresses exactly alike? |
I hope I never outgrow toys. | Happy St. Patrick's Day! | March 17th, cowboy style. |
Read his stomach. He'll try anything to get a kiss. | Playing to the beat of a different drummer. *Photo by Jean. | Jean and two leprucans? |
Quit clowning around! | Someone need a shave? | Everyone loves a parade. |
Big City Hicks. *Photo by Jean. | Wait...let me draw you a beard. You'll look more grown up! | The luck of the Irish. |
Irish bongos? | I'm not sure how Irish Ronald McDonald is. But at least he has red hair! | Cartoons even get into the celebration. |
Cool wheels. | Green hair. | Caitlyn and Greg. |
Jean and Dustin. | Hello! | A salute from the eagle. |
Party in a parade. | Green shoes. | Perhaps he only wants a sip of beer. |
Green carnations. | Weird...and a bit freaky. | Play that Irish music white boy. |
Green with pride. | Caitlyn. | Jean's got real Irish blood in her veins. |
Brendan, another Irish lad. | A very sophisticated Irish man. | Floating music. *Photo by Jean. |
The Irish know how to have a good time! | Karem, Lauri and Cherie. | High school friends, Andy, Chris, Doug and Cherie. |
cherie writes: Many people don’t know why we wear shamrocks and slurp down silly quantities of green beer on March 17th. Here’s a bit of history about St. Patrick’s Day:
St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born about 385 AD. Born in Wales, his real name was Maewyn. As a child, Maewyn considered himself pagan and at 16, he was sold into slavery. After 6 years of slavery (Maewyn found God during these terrible years) he escaped, changed his name to Patrick, and began studying at a monastery.
After a few years Patrick became a bishop and returned to Ireland to convert the Celtic Druids. For 30 years he established missions all over Ireland. The reason the shamrock is a symbol of St. Patrick’s Day is that Patrick used the 3-leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity.
St. Patrick died on March 17, 461 AD. That’s why my friends and I went to a thrift store, bought all the green clothes we could find, and were in a parade with thousands of other green folks—some Irish and some Irish-for-a-day.
