vedry OT: for the R.C.'s amongst us, ESP. those who are Polish or Italian...

Too late! Here in (Roman) Catholic Louisiana, the Archdiocese announced that because this is Holy Week, the celebrations for St Patrick and St Joseph were to be transferred to last week.

So, all of us WASPs went to the St Patrick parades and the St Joseph's altars last Friday and Saturday. Some of the "heathens" held a parade in the French Quarter on Monday anyway.

Olwyn Mary in New Orleans.

LOL We did the St. Patrick's parade on Sunday.
