Ham, turnips, potatoes, and tea
Tuesday May 15, 2012 - I took the #20 bus from Dublin to Ballinasloe today. It was a lovely spring day and the bus ride was pleasant. My cousin Noel came to the bus stop to pick me up and took me to my other cousins Christy and Brian’s house. Christy immediately gave me a huge plate of Ham, turnip, and potatoes with tea. I ate as much as I could and visited with them for a few hours while showing them some pictures on my computer. Noel’s wife Maggie came over and we all visited a bit while drinking tea. Noel has generously volunteered to take me to several places over the next few days.
