Saint Patrick's Day

Saluting my Irish heritage on St. Patrick's Day. Have 50% Irish heritage but ironically Ireland is not one of the 70+ countries I've been to. Two sets of great-great-grandparents emigrated from Ireland in the 1800s. William and Mary Ann Wharton from County Kerry and Thomas and Rose Mylon from Northern Ireland. The Mylons came to San Francisco and generations stayed there. My grandmother went through the SF Earthquake and Fire as a child, and I was born and raised in the SF Bay Area. ... To Ireland some day.
