The Irish - What can I say about the Irish people they have a very good sense of humor, a zest for life, caring, and a strong bond with their families, and yes a love to drink that Beer!

But most of all I have been so fortunate in my life, I married a Irishman and The Irish Page is dedicated to Terry and his Irish ways!   He is funny, witty, caring, sexy and yes you do spoil me so!  Terry you are my heart, soul, my being, and swear to god if I go before you, I will forever be a restless spirit, haunting you until we meet again.

Irish Verses

May you be in Heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're gone. There are many good reasons for drinking, and one has just entered my head.
If a man can't drink when he's living, then how can he drink when he's dead? May the hand of a friend always be near you; may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the Lord cradle you in the palm of his hand.
May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.
There was never a shabby sheep in the flock that didn't like to have a comrade.
Never make a toil of pleasure said the man when he dug his wife's grave only three feet deep.
An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold on to a single blade of grass, and not fall off the face of the Earth.

Irish Music - One thing Terry and I have in common is we both enjoy Clannad and Enya, they are unique in their music, mellow, poetic, haunting and sometimes sung in Gaelic. Most of you have heard just a bit of their music in movies, i.e. Last of the Mohicans or a VW Car Commercial on T.V.

U2 is a great modern Irish band we have every album they have released.  Along with the Cranberries and Loreena McKennitt.

I found a wonderful site called the "Irish Music Box"  a excellent resource for music and information on Clannad, Enya, U2, The Cranberries, and other Irish bands, so please visit it and hear a some of their music and read the Lyrics they are truly good.

I must not forget the Beer, check out Guinness' web site it's fun, filled with beer history, and games you can play while your there. Virtual beer anyone?
