The Wisdom of a Child Hi Liz...Enjoyed your comments on the unsuspecting wisdom of a child...I too have found my most profound learnings come from the simplicity of a child. Sometimes in my own quest for knowlege, I have missed out on the innate wisdom in and around me. Great to hear ffrom you! Lois
Wet runners My grandson Matthew showed us one day how much fun it is to splash in every puddle he came across,
without being uptight, just carefree and happy.
I feel we could learn a lot from this - just enjoy the moment of experience and joy.
love your writing I wonder what little gem he will come up with when he finds out he is going to have a little bundle come to stay with them for ever.
Love Betty
who knows? I enjoyed reading that, Liz. Maybe Gabriel is right in a way. Once he enters this new and slightly independent world, he may experience his old world and everyone in it in just a slightly different light. The old story of not being able to go home again. Thanks for the excuse to" think" on this rainy day. Carolyn
Brilliant innocence Hi Liz,
Thank you for capturing and sharing those precious moments. Gabriel is indeed on his way to becoming
a fine young man! Love, Miri
children and their wisdom Amazing!! Children are amazing and they do utter little pearls of wisdom. Their way of thinking is so unique and it is sometimes difficult for us to understand what they actually mean or how they are thinking.
Where are you? In Canada?
Lots of love
Dovi and Isme.
When are you planning a visit to Israel? It is Jacob's Ladder Music Festival at the beginning of May.
Maybe you would like to join us?
Oh to be in Ireland Boy you willreally shake the Lake up with your Danny Boy on the Banjo. I am going to miss your Blogs Liz So glad when your back. Betty
COLD! Brrrrr. Burren. Doesn't sound like things have warmed much since you sent this out. YOur adventures sound so amazing. Love reading about them. Will you be in NY at the end of Feb? We could see each other. love, vera
excellent writing Enjoyed your writing immensely. You have a gift. As the Irish say:
Is fearr lán doirn de cheird ná lán mála d&Mac226;ór
A handful of skill is better than a bagful of gold
And:
May all the giant hearts be tall as day,
may all your winter nights be warm as may.
Safe travels home,
Love, Lynn
overcame my hot flashes reading this I could smell and taste this ....I even heard the moving strings of Danny Boy playing in the background. It sounds amazing!

The evocative power of the written word Hi Liz and Ron,
We are just back from the heat of Buenos Aires and now I am transported to the chilly plains of Western Ireland. Brrr...
What hearty souls you are. The cosiness of New Year's Eve must have been romantic, but power outages are no fun.
Love your vivid pub descriptions, hilarious joke and your sing a long. Keep gathering those incredible experiences.
Love, Miri
slipping in I love winter travel. It's like slipping in the back door and warming up in the kitchen, and before you know it, you're a part of the place. It all looks magical! Carolyn
I love your descriptions. I have been to Ireland in the summer... except for the weather... the pub experience sounds familiar. When are you coming home?
yearning When I read your description of the pubs of Ireland and the different names of villages I yearn to be there. It is my dream to visit in Ireland, unfortunately I am tangled up here with work and other such issues.
Isme.
horreo Liz your writing takes my breath away even the cow standing in its own sounds beautiful it all sounds like a dream of beauty. You could make hell sound like heaven so you soon. Love Betty
An ewe thot I didn't read your blog!! An ewe... a ewe. Who n ewe? This was like bedtime reading. LOVEd it. Sounds like an interesting book Ron's reading to ewe. I would still prefer him to be reading Sedaris... This all sounds so lovely. What a treat to receive these blogs from ewe!
love
Sara
Rustic charm A journey in time! Charming manger, warm brown egg for Ronès breakfast -it doesnèt get more rustic than that.
Charming old buildings, gargoyles and timeless balconies amongst the hills of Galicia and the town of Santiago de
Compostella. The best part was your friend, Betty, commenting regarding on the difference between being ever
present and being indispensible. Good friend and good advice.
catching the light What a peaceful place to spend these last short days of the year, taking in the morning light with not much else on which to focus. Theroux certainly had a point.
Superlative Dear Liz,
'Blending in' with the landscape has taken on new meaning for you and Ron. You evoke such a
beautiful, tranquil setting and the priceless gathering of memories. How wonderfully enriching.
I hope you have forgiven Paul Theroux. That train ride, will, I am sure, be forever etched on your
memory. Love, Miri
Lois
