Ha! Dangling backwards, upside down over the edge of a castle, to kiss a stone for who knows what reason, other than it's the thing to do if your visit Blarney Castle, Ireland, is a most exhilarating experience.

It's supposed to give you the gift of eloquence, or the gift of the gab, so now I won't be as shy to speak up in future  :D

Anyway, I'm back from our 25th anniversary trip, and I must say, it was FANTASTIC!

Ireland is definitely a place to put  on your list of 100 places to go before you die.

Now I need to get my act together, as I have pictures from my trip to England and now Ireland to submit.

Hope you all missed me  .

Closest I can get there right now is the little gal down the street, her name was Jackie Barney before she married, but I still see her, who you think was over here with my daughter in-law doing 4-H camp up near Camas, Washigton last summer...long time friend in this area. Her little girl is the one on my small ATV in my past avatar picture.

Look at that Sue, title fixed! Now that is impressive, how did you get Chris and/or Sarah to do that so quickly? What 'Blarney' vibes did you send? Lol

   Blame it on the jet lag, Ron. I'm usually a little more careful.
