To Tattie Bogle:

If we lived near each other we could flash our shamrocks together at the restaurant I will be going to. Might be a little distracting for other diners at the restaurant I will be at though. :-)) ha, ha, ha.

There's not too many Irish events going on near where I live in California. Just some Irish pubs/bars I guess at night but they aren't near me and I don't have a car to get to them anyway.
So I will just join a friend at the restaurant during the lunch time.
Since the Irish meal is just done there for St. Patrick's Day we'll go there for lunch as to not find out they have run out of that meal by dinner (supper time.) I have no idea how many people will order that meal. They don't take reservations there - you just show up and wait to get seated.
Let me know how your day went afterwards! I hope it is fun!
