Happy St. Patrick's Day! Well, the day after at least. lol
As you can probably tell, I ran out of creativity juice when it came to the names of my St. Patrick Day costumes. I was just glad to be done with them honestly. Maybe after a pint or two of "inspirational spirits" I'll come up with decent names.
P.S. Open to suggestions also.
They tapped me on the shoulder and offered to pose for a photo, so I took it. Did they ask me to send it to them? Nope.
Everyone can stop looking now....I have found the lucky pot of gold....Milo sniffed out the Leprechaun and lead me to the tiny colorful gems....

"We recently paid the Irish tavern a visit to capture its historic details such as the original wooden bar and pot-bellied stove; iconic tchotchkes adorning the walls, which run the gamut from shackles worn by a prisoner of war from the Civil War to a horseshoe that legend says came from one of the horses that pulled Abraham Lincoln’s hearse; and the fun-loving crowd that can be seen there on a typical day. We also chatted with Teresa Maher, the very first woman to work behind the bar in 1994."
Guinness is a popular dry stout that originated in Arthur Guinness' first brewery in Leixlip, County Kildare but it then moved to its present home at St. James's Gate in Dublin, Ireland. The beer is based on the porter style that originated in London in the early 18th century. It is one of the most successful beer brands in the world, being exported worldwide. The distinctive feature in the flavour is the roasted barley which remains unfermented. For many years a portion of the beer was aged to give a sharp lactic flavour, but Guinness has refused to confirm if this still occurs. The thick creamy head is the result of the beer being mixed with nitrogen when being served. It is extremely popular with the Irish and, in spite of a decline in consumption over recent years, is the best-selling alcoholic drink of all time in Ireland, where Guinness & Co. makes almost €2 billion annually.
The parent company has been headquartered in London since 1932 and was later merged with Grand Metropolitan plc and developed into a multi-national alcohol conglomerate named Diageo.
