Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Mosby

 

I  can’t stand one more winter picture, even if we get a blizzard.  St. Patrick’s Day is in 7 days. Let’s think ahead and get a little Irish spirit going.  Are you Irish?  If yes, what is your county of origin?  Mine is County Cork and my husband’s is County Tipperary.  He is more Irish than I am.  His grandmother immigrated as a baby(with the help of her parents).  My heritage goes back a few more generations than that.

Who is going to the Manassas St. Patrick’s Day Parade This weekend?  One of the Howlers and perhaps two will be participating.

Private school issues clarion call to swarm City Hall Chambers tonight

Nooo, we aren’t singling out abortion clinics for special treatment.  Noooooo, we aren’t blurring the lines between church and state.  Found on the front page of  Sentinel, a weekly newsletter from Elizabeth Anne Seton School for parents and students:

Citizen Time

On Monday, March 10th at some time after 5:30 pm in City Hall Council Chambers, the Manassas City Council will vote on Marc Aveni’s proposal to require new medical facilities (to include abortion clinics) come before Council and the public before locating in the City. Your prayers, attendance and possible speaking during citizen time in favor of this effort are needed again.

I suppose that once again there will be a sideshow over at City Chambers where everyone will be strutting out their most pious behavior. Marc Aveni is getting himself some free advertisement for his cause.  (Will I get a thank you note for providing some coverage for him?)  I don’t think those of us in the County can pick up City channels so we will miss the show but I expect it will be a rendition of Brother Love’s traveling Salvation Show of Neil Diamond Fame.
