Say Irish Beer Cheddar Cheese! Link Up

St. Paddy's is soon upon us and the Dempsey clan is getting ready for our yearly parade around the square. By getting ready I mean digging out one of the many scarves and t-shirts we've worn "as a group" over the years to see what fits. I'm lucky if one of the scarves fits me this year.

One of my many (many) cousins in orange brows, tat sleeve, suspenders and tux

This group is impossible to organize or get to agree on anything (a bit like Mother Ireland herself). We will never be looking in the same direction for a family photo and any attempt to get us to march in order with a "theme" is as hilariously futile as chasing a leprechaun.

*And don't forget, I'm also just a leprechaun, standing next to a girl, asking her for directions to the pub

It's supposed to be 38˚F and partly sunny this year which means I may not be looking for that family with the Jameson right away. I hope to have plenty o' photos come next Tuesday but for now, start bringing out the green (whatever that may mean or wherever it may be legal) and Say Cheese! because it's time for the:
Say Irish Beer Cheddar Cheese! Link Up.

    1. Kind of the Borg version of a St. Pat's outfit, a little bit of everything. The orange facial hair just kills me.

  13. Both your cousin and the gentleman look very distinguished and am sure they like to be dressed up! Discovered that I had a collection of greens on my pastel sticks and boxes, so green it is:)
    Also, I appreciate your fun thoughts about the water (for All Seasons )this week!

    1. It's a great excuse for people who would probably dress up every day of the year to dress up for the parade. Ahh, always a lovely choice, especially this time of year, J.

    1. I wonder if you told me about Savannah on St. Pat's before, there's someplace down south I thought celebrated St. Patrick's Day more than you'd expect. Aww, c'mon Nebraska, get with it, damnĆŗ!

    1. Hi Alice, I do stop by Heartsie Girls every week so I'll look for you there, but if there's another place for me to visit besides I Saw It On Pinterest please give me a holler. Yes, those brows are hilarious!
