Breathtaking photos Good day Dianne,
I absolutely love reading about your daily adventures. The photos are wonderful as is, the history too. I'm certain these pictures do not do justice to the incrediable beauty of Ireland. What a challenge to drive on the narrow roads. Thanks be to God he is watching over and keeping you safe in his care. Continue exploring and enjoy the music, food, history, and thrill of it .... Have a blessed day.
Hello Hi Dianne,
I so enjoy reading about your adventure through Ireland. You're amazing. No fear while driving through the countryside and/or squeezing inside a small chamber...kudos to you my dear! Believe it or not, Morton Grove has gotten much needed rain this week. Everything is fine at your house. Lincoln can't seemed to understand where Dianne is hiding everyday when we walk over to visit. To be honest, the little stinker took a small tomatoe from garden, sorry. Dashing off to the back doctor for a little alignment this afternoon. I do hope I'll feel better tonight. Planning to take my mother in-law Starlight Theatre (Willmette Lakefront) to see the Broadway Musical "Brigadoon". Be safe & have a lot of fun!!
Ancestors Hi Dianne, sure is fun reading about your search for your ancestors, and seeing the places where they lived. Keep blogging because we can all share in your adventures. I am glad you are enjoying your visit to Ireland, especially the good weather. My aunt went to Canada looking for the places that my family lived but never found it - in province of Saskatchewan. They homesteaded in the wilderness and I think it is still a wilderness. Ireland sounds much more interesting.
Great... Now I want to go to Ireland just to check out Newgrange and Knowth. Hope you got to take pictures inside. Also, if the photos won't work on this site, you can create an album and post them on Facebook. Then you can put the link to the album in your blog.
In search of Margaret Campbell ...
One of my earliest memories (age 4) is standing at the bedside of my dying grandmother - Margaret Theresa Campbell - and her reaching out to touch my hand. Earlier this year I again felt her reaching out, and knew that I needed to return to her homeland - County Louth, Ireland - to try to bring a part of her spirit home. I'll start with the little that I know, move on to what I speculate, and add some new heritage memories of my own. Blog entries should start on July 24 and update daily as wi-fi access allows. Stop in for the journey as your interests ... full info
