Oh look, St. Patrick's Day. Once again, on our mum's side we're descendent from a long line or Scots who fought for Orange Billy and got a land grant from the King after the Battle of the Boyne in 1689. Pictured below, the Boyne:
We took that pic during a trip to Ireland in 2019.
They immigrated to the Colonies in the 1750s and settled down in Orange (heh) County in New York. We were Tories. God Save the King. Our maternal grandfather was descended from a long line of Presbyterian ministers and told our mother to wear orange on St. Patrick's Day. As do we. [You're wearing a gray long sleeved T-Ed].
Sticking with the orange v green thingy, one day we'll write World War 1990: Thatcher's War. That day is not today.
Anyway:
You're welcome.
