St. Patrick's Day Family Home Evening with the Hulsey's
Tonight was a riot! Our neighbors the Hulsey's came for a GREEN dinner to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and to dye Easter Eggs...which we ALL LOVE to do. Damon Hulsey (Dad) is on his way to Iraq for his second time right now and will be gone over a year. He has only been gone 3 weeks. WE MISS YOU DAMON!!! I'll try to get Adam "river dancing" and doing push ups for you on video... Michael...you are probably surprised at how big they all are! Check out the SWEET look on Maren's face in the picture, she was BORN an ANGEL!!!
I saved some dye packets Michael if you want to catch up on the egg dying in July:)
In honor of St. Patrick's Day...I just want to mention my 5th Great GrandFather, Francis Moran B.1817, who was a wealthy rubber baron and owned some of the most sought after property in Brookly and Manhattan. His Brooklyn home sat across the Bay from his Manhattan docks where his import fleets would come into port.He spoke oveor 7 languages. He was an amazing man and left ALOT of money with instructions for the good it was to do...unfortunately the next 4 generations drank it all away. Francis raised the money after coming to America as a very young man (17) to bring his parents and all 9 siblings to the United States. Only one sister went back to County Donegal--Katharine. Francis Moran is one of my life hero's and he is dang proud that the alcholic cycle has been broken. Proud to be Irish!!!
