Wishing all fathers around the world a very Happy Father’s Day today. In Irish we say:
“Lá na nAithreacha sona daoibh.”
The pronunciation goes something like this: law nah nah-ra-ka sun-ah deeve.
And so in honor of all fathers and grandfathers today, I thought I might share some of my favorite quotations from around the world, dedicated to the men we all love. So let’s start off with a few Irish blessings and sayings for Father’s Day and then some great American quotations.
I love these wise old words from our forefathers, which still apply to this very day.
Grammy – I just love these old vintage clip art pictures. It takes some time, but I love going through them to find something to match my posts. Hope your family had a lovely Father’s Day. Best wishes!
Vince – I never spotted that one. I just saw a vintage family picture and never recognized Prince Albert and crew. Well, they’ve been there for over a year now, so there they can stay.
Have a great day and thanks for your good eye.

An Irish colleague of mine has just become a dad for the first time. Could you tell me how to write and pronounce the following phrase… Congratulations on the birth of your new daughter.
Many thanks, Mairead.
You always come up with the most unique pics to go with your posts!

Hi Bernadette – “Congratulations on the birth of your new daughter” in Irish would be ..
“Comhghairdeas ar bhreith d’iníon nua”
Here’s my best attempt at phonetic pronunciation – Koe-gaw-r-dhus er vr-eh dhuh in-een new-ah.
I hope this helps you and congratulations to your co-worker on his lovely New Year’s addition to his family.
All the best,
Mairéad
