We had a blast on St. Patrick's Day!   Thanks to all the customers who joined in on the dancing and fun!  

Thanks to Dallas, our baker, for ensuring all customers who were not adorned in green were well aware of that fact.  Thanks to Sandy for starting the day off at 4am to make some awesome Irish Soda Bread and GoudaBeerBread.  Thanks to Brandi for double shifting it, so her bosses could dance outside!  

Thanks to Sheila and all the Ryan School of Irish Dance for an awesome performance. Thanks to Pete Dawson and Tony Davoren for beautiful music.  Thank you God for a beautiful sunny day!

Thanks to the Connellys, Doyles, MacFadyens, Lanmuirs, and Kellys - without these Scots & Irish lads and lassies, there would be no J.P. and thus no party on St. Patrick's Day!  Raise your glass to the beginning of a new tradition in Lafayette.  Slainte'!

                   CELTIC POEM  
Be gentle when you touch bread
Let it not lie uncared for--unwanted
So often bread is taken for granted
There is so much beauty in bread
Beauty of sun and soil, beauty of honest toil
Winds and rain have caressed it,
Christ often blessed it
Be gentle when you touch bread.

P.S.  We are still serving GoudaBeerBread every Wednesday & Friday 'til the keg runs empty!  Thanks to Henryk at HeinerBrau.
