Across The Pond A Year

Off to See the Wizard

Andrea and I had BIG BIG plans for after that wedding. First Dublin, to spend a bit more time with the Richerson clan (cousins only first), and than off to Europe to see Barcelona and Paris, the two sisters.

It was amazing, the colourful sights*, the imaginative architecture**, the heartfelt artworks***, it took our breaths, and many others, away.

But first, Dublin. Dublin is old and new, small, and yet way too big for its britches. Andrea and I saw the sights, but in looking back, I can't quite remember everything we managed to squeeze in. Hopefully the pictures will fill in the gaps. If nothing else, we ate well in Dublin, I remember that. We went to supper here 2 in one day. First lunch for me and Andrea, and than dinner with Keegan, Mary, Kathy and Olivia. The decoration was great.

I brought my friend there when I visited again this summer. But i guess I need to bring the right crowd.

...And I thought you might all enjoy the underlying truth in this little advert I found on the back of the bathroom stall in Dublin!

The other Wedding

The Summer Began. Of course after a few tests here and there...

A big hubbub to be sure. everyone flew over the big blue and a whole continent to freeze their bums off, have their biological clocks turned topsy turvy, and to dress in fancy outfits all in the name of ancestors, family, and a beautiful wedding. It was worth it, I'm sure to believe, I only flew about an hour. I got to see family that I hadn't seen not only since March when i visited last, but of course longer. Those of the family who literally crawl out of the woodworks for the big events. Ireland is beautiful, and I was so glad to visit again, hang out with the Rooneys and spend time with the two loudest girls in the family (Nancy and Peggy). The other girls come in close, but they definitely take the lead.
