ask grandma j

So, today I decided to make some cookies for a couple of my Irish friends. 

One  in particular is my neighbor Betty.   I know how much she loves her Irish heritage.

Then I let Margaret pick on the spoils.  Because she claims she's Irish too.

Mostly I honor my own Irish roots. Especially my paternal grandmother who came to this country alone....at the age of sixteen.  She traveled aboard the Oceanic from Queensland Ireland  to Ellis Island in June, 1900.
