I had my DNA tested and found out I have 68% blend of Irish, English, French and German ancestry and only 15% eastern European. The rest was Scandinavian and the Balkans. So I guess we are all a little bit of many backgrounds if we do this test!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-87329082291564072942017-03-20T12:04:27.562-04:002017-03-20T12:04:27.562-04:00Not Irish, but I do have red hair so I suppose the...Not Irish, but I do have red hair so I suppose there could be an Irishman in the woodpile somewhere ;) What a sweet happy mail package!

We are primarily Scots-Irish-Welsh. The two red-headed children and red-headed cousins on both my husband's and my side of the family are dead giveaway's to our Irish roots. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day (corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, etc.), and I love that I was able to visit his grave when we were in Ireland (which I posted about on Friday). I learned a lot about this man who was taken into slavery by the Irish, only to escape but then feel God called him to go back and share Christ with his captors. Amazing. Oh, and loved the photos over the course of the snowstorm. Wow... a LOT of snow.Charm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-13594940715217490172017-03-19T22:06:46.664-04:002017-03-19T22:06:46.664-04:00I didn't have much opportunity for blog visiti...I didn't have much opportunity for blog visiting or commenting while I was away, so I'm a tad late.<br />With the maiden name of Kelly, one would think I had some Irish blood. I don't think so, but as you said, we all claim to be Irish on the 17th! The calendar tells us tomorrow is the first day of spring. I hope Ma Nature is paying attention. It can start to warm up anytime now! Let's hope our snowstorms are done!Linda Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781161123677863867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-88452129031454057242017-03-19T20:55:47.931-04:002017-03-19T20:55:47.931-04:00I hope you are thawing now and have a good week ah...I hope you are thawing now and have a good week ahead.

Does that count at all? There was nothing green in the closet to wear on Friday either, so I ate a salad for lunch as my token celebration of St. Patrick's day. :) My husband's grandmother crocheted doilies(and hot pad covers)that looked identical to that. Brings back good memories! Love the nicely packaged tea too. Hope spring is nearby for you. I saw my first robin outside my kitchen window this morning.

They married and both families disowned them so they came straightway to the USA. Granddad bought a farm on top of a mt in PA in an Irish community and settled there. I was born and raised three miles from the old homestead. He was a farmer and school master. I was always a little afraid of him because he was so stern. My grandmother died in childbirth (#10) when my dad was young and granddad raised 7 of the 10 kids to adulthood. Kind of a sad life really...<br /><br />Hope you have a good night- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-89943209271495789312017-03-18T17:42:59.667-04:002017-03-18T17:42:59.667-04:00This comment has nothing to do with this post, at ...This comment has nothing to do with this post, at least I don't think so, other than I know I am part Irish just don't know exactly how much. There must be a lot in me as I have always wanted to visit Ireland! Hmm Did I say this comment had nothing to do with the post? <br />One thing for sure I so enjoyed reading some of your previous posts, especially your thoughts about instagram, and bloggers leaving!The jury is still out on that as far as I am concerned, it is quicker as you say, but to me not as personable, unless you already know them as friends on blogger! I am seriously thinking about trying my hand at blogging again! But if my memory serves me right, I think I have made that statement before! ha ha!<br /><br />It was nice to catch up on you and your Father, I must say he does not look his age, I will be praying for his health to continue improve! And I was so blown away by how mature Sam and Jake seemed, have I been away from blogging that long??? The redoing of the room is so nice I love that shade of blue in the room! <br />I wish I had more time this evening to read more posts, hopefully a little later, as I have so missed reading about your "haven" as it has always been one for me too!<br />Much love,<br />Sue<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-50026139042457234232017-03-18T17:21:44.781-04:002017-03-18T17:21:44.781-04:00Oh Thank You for revealing your source! ☀️Oh Thank You for revealing your source! ☀️Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-92160186145780046542017-03-18T10:17:22.096-04:002017-03-18T10:17:22.096-04:00The yellow crochet doily is amazing!

They moved to the Dallas area, from Ohio, six months before we did. There's nothing like sharing memories and friendship with dear friends, over good food. <br />Your doily from Mrs. T is a work of art! That was so sweet and the color must cheer you while looking at all that snow!

Can't say we're doing much to celebrate the day. My daughter came over from the mainland and I enjoyed the afternoon with her, and will have dinner with her husband and mother-in-law, as father-in-law is in the hospital. They're there now, which is why I have a few moments before finishing the last bits of dinner.<br />Your window glimpses show such pretty vignettes made even cozier by the snowstorm outside.
