Happy St. Patrick's Day! What a wonderful day. We went to the 248th annual St. Patrick's Day parade here in New York City today. We heard the marching bands and bagpipes and everyone was wearing green. Did you know that I am Irish? I am. My mom told me. And she taught me some Irish dancing and we also played the guitar and sang Irish songs. I have lots of favorite song but my very favorite is "I'll Tell Me Ma". It was also my mom's favorite song when she was young. I love being Irish. And I love being in New York 
because everyone is Irish! At least they were all pretending to be Irish today. That is the interesting thing about a good thing. Everyone tries to hone in on your "parade"! Well, I cannot wait until next year. Apparently this year I wore myself out and I fell asleep before the day was over. Next year, I promise to be the most lively and festive girl at the parade. I hope you can all come and join me. Well, I have so many more Irish things to do today. Slainte! (that means good health to you all in Irish, for all my non-Irish friends) Until next week... -Maggie
