It was a beautiful day here in New York for the St Patricks Day parade. I left the house @9;30 to meet up with the others at the AOH hall. The buses were leaving at 10am. After awhile we got on the road and was in Manhattan by noon. Step off for our group was 12:50 but when we got there we were told that the parade was 1 1/2 hours behind. So it was off to a bar for a few drinks, then our line up on 46th street to get ready for our march down 5Th ave. As we were marching down 5th ave the one thing I kept hearing over and over again from the spectators (besides Happy St Patick's Day) was Thank You for Marching today! I don't know why but this surprised me. We finished up our walk @ 84th steet. Then it was off to find the buses and our drive home. We were back home by 6:30. I was a bit tired but all in all it was a good day and can't wait to do it again. The Photo below are Paul and I before for the parade (Paula is the mother of 5 of the munchkins I watch from time to time) A few of the ladies before the line up, Trying to get everyone lined up and finally its over and looking for the buses.

Last Monday night, Saorla & Fianna had their monthly Jr AOH girls meeting & I got to tag along. The March Meeting was held at a all girls Catholic school that has a convent attached. The Jr girls visit the nuns every year bringing Irish soda bread & cakes. The Pipe band comes to play a set and a few of the girls do their Irish step dancing. The girls have been learning how to say the rosary and said the prayers for the nuns. Besides my nieces, two of the munchkin that I still watch from time to time were there doing the Irish Step dancing. Fiona is 7 & Roisin is 10. Even my nephew Seamus was enjoying the evening and watching the nuns saying their prayers.
Tomorrow I am off to Manhattan to march in the 248th St Patricks Day parade.The Parade marched for the first time on March 17, 1762 - fourteen Years before the Declaration of Independence was adopted and today it is the largest Parade in the World.I was suppose to march in my local parade but couldn't. I am really looking forward to marching tomorrow.
Belong are some of the photos from the visit with the nuns.
