Irish Beauty

Copper shimmering hair
Chartreuse eyes with flecks of grey
Freckles splashed across creamy skin
A wide set jaw so becoming of the Irish
A gap between the front teeth, has become our family trait
Passed from one generation to another
Very dominate personalities and tender caring hearts
Go back to the creator, lovers of the creator
Mischievious to a fault, defender of the weak
Well tilled soil is soft and pleasing in the farmers heart
American farmers' heritage

It sounds like you have great genes and Irish beauty in your blood, Doris. I'm in PC right now but my home is in Ormond Beach. It looks like it will rain here tomorrow and I hear the oil slick is moving toward shore. It's the first story on the news every night. Very depressing -- beautiful beaches here and great fishing. All may be spoiled. I think you have more rain headed your way too! Love, Carolyn
