On the way to the airport to India, a rainbow appeared and we thought geez….while we may not find a pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow (sorry to destroy the myth for some of you) we thought it was a brilliant sign….. IMG_2298

Family Had lunch in the center today (we decided to gusy up a bit) and then headed off to Moynathy – the winner of Irelands "Tidest Village" award.  Moynathy is a very small village but incredably quaint – with the babbling brook, expectedly tidy streets, hedges,  flower plots, and buildings. There is an 18th century…

Out the back of Woodhaven House is a long lane that meanders through many farm fields and pasture land.  Darren and I took a long walk there today and met a friend who was very interested in us or our camera.   Morris There is a great view through the fields of the Tower of…

Spring in Ireland means lots of flowers – primroses, cowbells, tulips, and lots of daffodils.  What better place to enjoy a beautiful spring day but at DD and Peter's farm in Ballateague – one of my most favorite places in the world.  There are also a lot of babies about – ponies, calfs and of course…

So, right before we leave our home for two years….we decide now would be a good time to get around to putting the laminate we bought 3 years ago down in the dining room.  We also took off the old overhang…the view is super stunning…why o why did we not do this sooner….. Also got…

So today was it…the big move, leaving the house bare and getting us on our way.  The operation, packing and moving by professionals, is an amazing site.  They use a lot of paper but holy cow, can they pack fast.  They got here at 8 and were done by 2 – a whole house….crazy By…

How cute are they?…they are two of the best reasons I can think of to make that trip. IMG_2508 IMG_2507

So moving is an interesting process of reviewing EVERYTHING you own and realizing you dont need most of it….boy does it feel good to purge.  Today stuff went to storage that we couldnt part with, throw or give away. IMG_2435
