May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.

I look forward to being part of your forum and reading your articles.

That's so sweet, thank you. I'm glad to be back. I've missed it!

Now, have you heard Susan Boyle?

As soon as my sister heard, she e-mailed me: "She's very Auntie Mary!!!"

Yes, she is very like Auntie Mary (tho Mary was a poetess, not a singer, but elsewise very much similar), and I had just watched the movie, "Very Annie Mary," about a Welsh girl who was not too chic and had a late debut that revealed the voice of an angel.

There's a little uncanny feeling here.

Yes, welcome back Mary, although I hadn't realised you were here before! Were you Irish Culture editor then too?

Glad to hear of your Dublin links, I was there last year - and always keep up with my roots on the Irish Culture forum. You will notice that my Short Stories site here a decidedly Irish flavour too!

Back soon,

SMC Short Stories Ed
