My husband felt like he was falling off the edge of Ireland as he got this shot, especially with the fierce wind pushing him in that direction also. But isn’t it amazing?

Have a wonderful weekend, filled with long walks, air conditioning if you live near my part of the country, swims, bike rides, great conversation, amazing food, and topped to the brim with lots of God’s love. Slainte, Lisa
Things aren’t always what they seem. I heard that saying so much growing up. Wise words with much behind them when you really think about it. The older woman who still feels 28 inside. The “old soul” 9 year old child who feels more comfortable around adults. The disreputable-looking man who is quite nice and safe, but no-one will get close enough to discover that. The polished, attractive woman who is sour and mean inside. Here are some pictures that are not what they seem.
In this picture, I appear to have a very short body and big head. No snide comments, please! haha 🙂
My son appears much farther away than he really is.
Jesus said once, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.” (Luke 11:39) This verse really makes me think, because I know I’ve been guilty of this sometimes in my life. Trying to polish up the outside and make it look good, while inside I’m full of not-so-attractive thoughts. I am so thankful that God is still working on me, and He will never give up! 🙂 Be encouraged! Slainte, Lisa
First of all, you have to say the title of this entry three times, fast:
“Blarney blog log, Blarney blog log, Blarney blog log…”
Laughing yet? Ok, I tried. 🙂
We found this log in a play area near Blarney Castle, Ireland. It was surprisingly hard to climb up, but as usual, my guys showed their climbing skills off to great advantage.

(Yes! I got a flying reference in! 🙂 ) May your day be blessed, whether walking, riding, climbing, or flying.

For a person who owns no sheep, I certainly seem to be fascinated with them. People who do own them tell me that they have their share of problems. (As do we all.) But you have to admit, they are cute and furry, with their little plump bodies and small legs. Hence, I have an excessive amount of sheep pictures. Today, I am sharing two of my favorites with you. And if you see a sheep today, baa happy. Slainte, Lisa

Castlelyons, Ireland. Great name, but then, I’m biased as Lyons is my last name and it would be pretty amazing to have a castle or just hang out in a castle. We found this town in County Cork, and it was the ancient hometown of the Barrymores in the 13th century. Fun to imagine what life was like back then, probably very hard, and not much like my daydreams of knights, maidens, minstrels, etc. But hey, a girl can dream, right? 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
