A friends eye is a good mirror.

Good ones!
Have a great weekend!
Some I hadn't heard before. I like the silk on a goat one and the secret among three people. So true. The Irish are clever. Happy St. Pats Day
Taryterre,
I love the Irish Proverbs you have on here today. My favorite one is "Time is a great story teller."
Happy St. Patrick's Day, and don't forget to wear the green!

Love them all! Have a wonderful weekend!
I have not heard these proverbs before so they were fun to read! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
betty
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, Terre! I enjoyed reading the Irish Porverbs, I hadn't heard of several of them. Have a great weekend!
Oh, big oops! That should be Proverbs, as I'm sure you know. :)
Love reading these!! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE ST. PAT'S day. Have a good one!
Very apt proverbs. I like St. Paddy's Day, despite the fact that the Irish are very few here in west Texas. I can only hope for green tumbleweeds and green tamales.....
This is the first time I have felt like getting on and I shouldn't have waited so long. I hope hubby came out good with the cardiologist. Joe will go next week. I go the next. Hope your husband is able to continue working. That is rough when it comes as a total surprise and no savings. He went back to work for 2 years after heart surgery against his doctors wishes but he has done well and hope he continues to do so. It was heavy work where they built grain trailers and repaired them.
Taryterre,
I would love to see your Barbie doll and all the clothes that your grandmother made for her. That is so special. Maybe you could do a post on it someday?
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
love,
~Sheri
