Happy St. Patty’s Day Folks! 💚🍀🍻 House smells amazing with the aroma of corned beef and cabbage,,,potatoes and carrots and Irish soda bread! Looking forward to our wonderful meal and then we’ll be watching one of my favorite movies.. The Quiet Man. I just love the two of them together!
What better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day then to watch John Ford’s, “The Quiet Man” (1952). It’s been 64 St. Patrick’s Days (including today) since the premiere of The Quiet Man, but it’s been a lot longer since John Ford first wanted to make the film back in 1933 after reading Maurice Walsh’s, “The Quiet Man”, a short story first published in the Saturday Evening Post.

So ye be Irish then ?!
💚🍀 My maternal grandmother was Irish (Sheehan) So There is some green running through my veins..
I gotta look and see if that’s on anywhere tonight. I STILL haven’t seen it!
I still can’t believe you never saw it!!!!
One of my favourite films too, and John Wayne’s favourite Actress and close friend. Part of the film was shot in Killarney, where I will be one day. Hope you enjoyed your meal.
Enjoyed our meal and movie Anna!! Thank you! 💚
It’s nice to see John Wayne in a non-macho role . He could act!
We’re major JW fans here! 😄
*wonders when technology will come up with an aroma app* I can imagine how delicious your house smelled! And you bake your own Irish soda bread! I wish I was that ambitious.
Hope your evening was happily spent!
I’m a baker Fim….used to work in a bakery (I was the donut queen!! 😄) I love baking…I just don’t do it often anymore…neither one of us needs to be eating it all the time!! 😁
Mmmmmmmmmmmm Donuts! I always gift myself with a 1/2 dozen for my birthday every year; 3 for me and 3 for Q. 🙂 I totally agree about us not needing to be filling ourselves up with things which are not actually good for us – physically – though once in a while, a treat is very necessary.
Oh BELIEVE me Fim…I treat myself with a small piece of dark chocolate daily….and when I’m REAlly REALLY in the mood for a treat…ice cream from The Island Creamery,

A very enjoyable movie…
That it is 😄😄
