Before I throw the corned beef in my crock pot, I thought I'd share a little piece of my Irish heritage with you.
I never knew my maternal grandfather, William Harlan.
He died when my mother was just 13 years old.
He was born in Vermont and was full blooded Irish.
He came to California after enlisting in the Army.
This is where he met a beautiful, feisty young girl named Esther.
I absolutely love this picture. It was taken before they married.
They are obviously very happy and quite smitten with each other.
They became a family and had three children.
The little girl sitting in my grandmothers lap is my mother.
She is my very first blessing.
As we say here in Texas
Happy Saint Patrick's Day Y'all!
Wishing You Many Blessings!
I've never seen that top picture! The one below with grandma is the one I was wanting a copy of, Max looks so much like Grandma! Lovely post!
