5 fun things to know about St. Patrick's Day

IN HONOR OF MY IRISH SON    My son Joseph George Chappel III who is of Irish descent...His People come from Dublin, Ireland. Grandma Nolan told me her mother was born in America. Grandma Nolan's father's name was Joseph Chappell note the 2 LL's denoting he was of French descent. She showed me a photo of her father on horseback, as a little boy~his hair was Raven-black, and my son as a toddler looked just like him. Upon arrival from the Hospital, Grandma Nolan called my son her 'Dark Irish' because his hair was Raven-black. Thru-out his toddler-days, she's always exclaimed how much he reminded her of her Irish-French Father. She loved little Joey so much...he grew up in her home under her and Aunt Rosie's loving care...Being spoiled, changed and bedded under their watchful eyes. She'd tell me to put him out in the Spring air and he grew healthier every day. She'd share at times how much joy and love 'Baby Joey' bought to her home in Queens, N.Y....we were truly Blessed by God at that precious time in our life~when we needed a Home and Family...and as the Irish saying goes and we lived it at Grandma house~'May the Saints preserve us'...Heart 2 Heart mami nana ana  :)  excerpts from Blessed Memories in Queens, NYC  circa: Spring 1971

How Similar Are Spanish and Italian?

Sometimes, when my Italian Father would get flustered in getting his point across, he's speak in Italian and only my oldest sister would truly understand what he was saying. I listened and picked up tidbits here and there...as I grew older he'd say 'Caprich' (not necessarily spelled like that) and I'd shake my head and repeat what he'd say in that respect I believe i understand some words of Italian...thank God's goodness for listening ears <3  mami nana ana :)
