my maiden name is Mahoney ♣
but then everyone is a little Irish on St Patrick’s Day…
thought I would share a sampling of photos from our trip to the Emerald Isle last June…
it was so beautiful there…
with sunshine…
or without…
we look forward to visiting again some day…

Is your maiden name really Mahoney? For some reason, I thought it was something German.
I confess I do not, as a rule, drink alcohol, whether beer, wine, or liquor. But I LOVE Guinness because, like French Roast Coffee, it is dark, smooth, and rich. I’m only a slight contradiction (grin).
Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos today. Here’s to a great St. Paddy’s Day to you too, dear friend.

Your photos of Ireland are wonderful and beautiful. I also carry Irish blood on my Dad's side, who arrived here in CA in 1852. Miners they were. Enjoy a yummy meal and perhaps some green beer?
