Irish Blessings

"May your thoughts be as glad as shamrocks,
May your heart be as light as song,
May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
That stay with you all the year long."

 May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets always hold a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you."

 "May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields, and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

Valentines Day

A RED, RED ROSE

by Robert Burns ( Scottish poet)

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

Oh my love is like a red red rose

that grows in June

Oh my love is like a song

That is sweetly played in tune

To you, my darling

So deep in love with you

and i will love you still, my dear

until there is no more water in the sea

Till the seas are empty, my dear

and the rocks melt with the sun

I will love you still, my dear

while the sands of life will run

And I will come again my only love

as though it were a thousand miles.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

El día de Acción de Gracias (en inglés, Thanksgiving; literalmente dar las gracias) es una celebración tradicional de Estados Unidos y Canadá. En los Estados Unidos se celebra el cuarto jueves del mes de noviembre, aunque originalmente se hacía el último jueves. En Canadá, por su parte, se celebra el segundo lunes de octubre. Generalmente en esta festividad se reúnen en torno a una mesa familiares y amigos a compartir un banquete.

El plato principal tradicional para la cena es un gran pavo horneado o asado. El pavo tradicionalmente se le acompaña con un relleno hecho de pan de maíz y salvia y se  sirve con una jalea o salsa de arándanos rojos.

Además se suelen servir  verduras como las judías verdes, la batata dulce y puré de patata  con gravy, que es una salsa hecha del jugo del pavo; también suele servirse una gran variedad de postres, siendo el pastel de calabaza el más popular. También es común preparar el pastel de nuez pacana y el de manzana.
