Jiggs was a working class Irishman who suddenly became a millionaire by winning the Irish sweepstakes. He wanted to eat corned beef and cabbage and hang out with his old buddies bit Maggie was a social climber and too hoitie toitie to allow that! She usually kept poor Jiggs in line with a rolling pin! Hopefully I'll have them all made and post some pics here this week. Way to go Marie!!Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609934442612294475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247853436714624077.post-79288991752970103972009-03-08T18:36:00.000-05:002009-03-08T18:36:00.000-05:00I know!
