Hats off to Grannie and a Happy St Pats to you. That is a major Holiday here in Chicago.
Thank you. Same to you. In regard to my grandma, I find it interesting that even though she lived in the early eighteen hundreds, she was married to a white man. Wouldn't think that was too common back then. I also wonder how well they, and their children, were received in the community, and if the fact that she was a "free woman" from Ireland made any difference as to whether or not she was the victim of racism.
