A Sweet Irish Story

by Dianne


Mrs. Donovan was walking down the street in Dublin when  she met up with Father O'Flaherty.

The Father said, 'Top o' the mornin' to ye!  Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan and didn't I marry ye and yer hoosband two years ago?'

She replied, 'Aye, that ye did, Father.'

The Father asked, 'And be there any wee little ones yet?'  

She replied, 'No, not yet, Father.'

The Father said, 'Well now, I'm going to Rome next week and I'll light a fertility candle for ye and yer hoosband.'

She replied, 'Oh, thank ye, Father...'  and they parted ways..

Twelve years later they met again. The Father asked,  'Well now, Mrs.  Donovan,  how are ye these days?' She replied, 'Oh, very well, Father!' The Father asked, 'And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?'

She replied, 'Oh yes, Father! There be two sets of twins and six others, ten in all!'

The Father said, 'That's wonderful! And where is yer loving hoosband now?'

She replied, 'E's gone to Rome, to blow out yer fookin' candle!'

    Tina Your Irish is showing and you are a lovely lass, indeed. For me, it is the bottom of the morning, as I slept so long and late. I guess I needed the rest.

    Dianne Cute one! I think Mr. Donovan better keep his own "candle" in check, kwim?

    Zona Listen to Bear! That's the best idea of the day! I mean listen to him about driving to the BABB, not about inseminating him. LOL

    Top of the mornin', back at ye Tina.

    Di, Very funny. I know a lot of Catholics with big families who feel the same way as the Donovans.

    Zona, I know at least two activities that are very cheap and you don't even need to leave the house. :-)

    Bear, Good advice for Zona.

    J/L, From A51. I had at least three meals with the leftovers after we got back from Chicago.

    DeeDee, Hope your are feeling better and you have some good drugs for pain.

    Lynn, I hope you're feeling better too. Any plans for another beach weekend soon?

    Jodi, Holy crap! I only let the gas tank get down to 1/2 so I don't have to spend so much at one time. Our lowest gas is up to $4.15 per gallon.

    I hope everyone is having a good day.

    Our gas is $3.49 a gallon.....but when I was in CA, I told my dad that ours was $4.49 to his $4.15~ He thought I was crazy!!! When I got home and saw that it really was $3.49, I called him to tell him I was wrong....boy did he love that!!~

    Zona Maybe driving to the BABB wouldn't be so cheap, after all. It's the company you'd be keeping there that would be cheap. Bwahahahahaha!

    Hi---I am home and didn't win a thing. Louis came home with $100 more than he left with....he always wins and I always lose. Oh well, we had a nice lunch in the mountains and then on to gambling. It was a nice afternoon/evening.

    MARY: I hope you get better soon. Not a fun way to come home from a cruise . Are you having Spring there now? We seem to have gone from Fall to Spring and barely had a winter this year. Very strange weather. We had one week of cold and hardly any snow the whole time. We still have a chance for one more snow but we shall see.....

    ZONA: How did today go? I think BEAR did call ZONA "cheap and easy" ....hmm, how does he know? I thought it was a secret

    J/L: Hope you are feeling all healed by now .....are you?
