I heard it took "Best in Show" at the last Irish car meet it entered.


Today was also our Granddaughter's 16th birthday.How time flies.
We raised her for ten years,but haven't seen her for a while.

Agree. The beauty of brushed stainless steel should never be hidden.

It’s not a problem with THAT car. If ya want brushed stainless all ya gotta do is Go Back to the Future.
 
St Patrick's, the one day of the year when my underage youngest niece is encouraged to go to Irish bars.

She's an Irish dancer, they dance for the customers and take money donations, been doing it since she was 10. And yes, the parents go to supervise..

I love Irish dancing!
 
She's hoping that this summer is back to normal, She's a qualifier for the second time for the World Irish dance competition in Dublin in July. She's one of those kids you see who wants to be not the best they can be, just the best period.

Cool! Wishing her the best of luck!
 
When we lived in Ireland my sister was in an Irish Dancing group. It was a school class. She is on the back row because she forgot her white socks.

My ancestors hail from County Galway - one of these days I'd like to get over there and see if there are still any relatives.

Speaking of ancestors I recently discovered this website: > Forebears: Names & Genealogy Resources <

Punch in your surname and.....

Smit.
3,561st Most Common surname in the World
Approximately 157,459 people bear this surname

MOST PREVALENT IN: South Africa
HIGHEST DENSITY IN: Netherlands (which is where my parents came from)

now if you go to Oorebeek (my mother's maiden name)

1,565,797th Most Common surname in the World

My Brother in law's last name show approximately 12 with that name or basically his immediate family.
 
I don't think it was coincidence that this popped up on my YouTube feed tonight.

 
Thanks for the web site. Another great way to spend time and learn something, too. Apparently my wife is one of 167 or so people with her last name. The name is a German name, but the site suggests there are more Americans with that name than Germans.
