For the past 30 plus years, some rowdy Irish redheads and Irish at the heart have been congregating at the Bjork/Barrett household to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. The good times began with Margie Bjork, Eva T., Ruthie V., Marie M., and Elinore O. along with Margie’s daughters Kathy, Julie, Barb and adopted daughter Patty B.
Margie would put out a typical Irish spread of corned beef casserole and all the fixin’s. As in true leprechan form, lots of wine was consumed. While the guests have changed over the years, a few staples have always remained: family, friends, fun, food and “fine” wine. We always hope to pass a little Irish luck onto others every time we meet.
