Happy 2nd day of 2016!!  Another new year of God’s grace.

Some Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes to get my non-resolution self going in the right direction:

“Be Silly.  Be Honest.  Be Kind.

All that I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Blessings and love, Lisa

**P.S.  Much thanks to the Belfast gentleman who kindly agreed to take our pictures beside Slieve League cliffs, and also got his thumb in 9 different pictures, causing great and welcome laughter from both sides of the camera.  What a great day.  🙂

 

Coming ‘Round the Bend

IMG_3348One of my favorite things about traveling in Ireland is the wonderful towns and villages.  You come around the bend, and presto!  A whole town of brightly painted buildings with shops, pubs and groceries to explore.  This is Portmagee, a great little town in Kerry that we used as our home base for 3 weeks.  Portmagee is the place to catch a boat tour out to the Skelligs, has some great little pubs/cafes, and a tiny but efficiently stocked grocery.

IMG_3347We would walk down to the village some days, buy some groceries, and the kids would undoubtedly get a “99”, a delectable soft ice cream cone with a Flake bar stuck in the top for the walk home.  By the end of the three weeks, we felt like it was a home away from home, and we were sad to see it fade in our rear-view mirrors.

Enjoy your little village today; big or small.  Slainte, Lisa
