Reminiscing... Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm German. I don't think I'm a lick of Irish. Though I have two notable memories about St. Patrick's Day. One is the oooolllddd Disney movie, Darby O'Gill and the Little People {with a young Sean Connery}. A few years ago my mother found a copy of the 1959 flick and it was date night at the Gehrig's apartment. Aww man, I wish I kept the memory. The movie was pretty lame- ha! Though the Banshee scene is still pretty creepy...

My other St. Patrick's Day memory is about my Great-Aunt Frieda, McDonald's Shamrock Shakes and this other old movie. I think I was about 7 or 8 years old. My parents went out, my older brothers were busy and I guess my father talked his aunt into "babysitting" me. I have fond memories of Aunt Frieda. She lived to her mid-90s, she never married, liked black coffee, smoked cheap cigarettes and liked *warm* Old Milwaukee beer right out of the can. She was a character alright. I really liked her, though. I presume my mom thought Frieda was a Lucy and Desi fan so she picked up the rental and some shakes. They left. And Frieda pretty much fell asleep in the family room! Awesome.
