Today I'm grateful for having visited Ireland several times & my Irish heritage. Bob took this photo on our first trip there, where we rented a car and drove all around the entire island. I'm also grateful for living in Irish-filled Massachusetts, where Bob was able to drive to a butcher shop right next to the Irish Hibernian Cultural Center (he used to play darts there) to get us some tasty corned beef for dinner . Thank you, Bob, for making that effort - and happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!

We've had a large "window frame layout" picture frame that Bob bought us years ago, knowing it'd be cool for *some* project. For all those years we hadn't found just the right image to use. I think we're going to do this . It's the Irish stallion photo he took during our first trip there. The horse was just wandering in a field in Connemara.

Or heck maybe we should put one of our Bermuda snorkeling photos in the window-shaped frame . That'd be a bit different!

We were in Ireland in September - immersed in Irish Culture. We traveled from Dublin to Cobh, to Ring of Kerry, the Aran Islands, Derry, back to Dublin. There were 8 of us and we traveled in two vans. What a wonderful trip!
