SHE WOULD BE 112, if my Mother were still living. I'm wearing one of her gold shamrock necklaces today in her memory, for even beyond St. Patrick, we honored my mom on March 17. From a photograph, Christopher painted this likeness of her.
The Manor decorates up a storm on each and every holiday and some events in between. Today is no exception. Bells of Ireland decorate each dining table. I always wanted to grow those in my garden, without any success, so it's a delight to see them here.
Today, everyone is Irish, even Victor, who hails from Romania.
