And a happy St Patrick's day to you too Casey! I'm Irish by marriage only but embrace it. Even climbed to the peak of Croagh Patrick w/ the family a few years ago!
Wow, 16th century! Me thinks the kelly is a wee bit turquoise and the lad lookin' a bit lassie. That calligraphy is most assuredly "Old English" and that has to be one cool book!
No Irish pipes but one of the most beautiful events I have witnessed was when the Kamloops pipe band gathered in a circle and played amazing grace down by the Thompson River. I especially like it when they have a rising and falling drum crescendo. Unfortunately, the song is played all to often for our fallen Kandahar soldiers.

ReplyDeleteCroagh Patrick! No snakes, I'll wager?
ReplyDeleteHSP Day, Lisa! I am only Irish by dint of my nickname, "Casey." Otherwise none at all. Except today, everyone's a little Irish, I guess.

ReplyDeletePaula, great to have your comments here. Stan, I've never seen the Book of Kells in person.
