An Irish blessing


May the road rise up to meet you,

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


Thank you Mary McNamara Lammers for your artistic talent with my awsome refridge magnet.


The claddagh ring I have had for about 15 years. It is a traditional Irish ring given as a token of love or worn as a wedding ring. The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendships ( the hands), and loyalty ( the crown).


I hope you enjoy the picture and the history lesson. Happy St. Patrick's day to all!
