With my Grandkids living in Spain and now visiting Ireland, I looked up some stuff on youtube!




LA born Grandkids, living in Spain, visiting Ireland?
What do you think the long-term affect will be?

Not to mention that they have been to a lot of other places.



The Orthodox Celts are actually an Irish Music singing group from Serbia!
Apparently, they are pretty popular with the younger Irish ones.

Brother Timmy, who is sort of the Family go-to guy when it comes to Ireland gave me this book when I moved here.  He told me to read this Book if I want to know about Ireland....

I am on page 128 

Me? I read Novels about the Troubles in Ireland
and wonder why it has been such a troubled island country for so long.

Novels byAuthors like Adrian McKinty are all I need to know
about the foolhardiness that has gone on there.


Detective Sean Duffy provides me with all the perspective I need about Ireland!


Similar to New Jersey

do you think?


got to admit that they do look a bit like Irish Lads

Two excellent books to read Pea: 'A course called Ireland"... "Celtic Tides"...paper backs, easy reads to describe a man walking around perimeter of Ireland w/ his golf clubs & clothes bag while planning to play a schedule of classic courses but time & again meets locals who cannot do enough for him & they expand his awareness of other local courses....time in Pubs & meeting many unique people. Climax at Ballybunion Golf Club and surprise greeting....Celtic Tides, Chris ? , x-navy seal rows his kyak around the entire island which necessitates coming/camping ashore each night. Great descriptions of challenges in finding passage thru rocks while fighting winds,etc. and then, once ashore, recollections of the many generous observers/local citizens who show such respect for his endeavor and shower him with kindness and hospitiality raher than allow him to camp on the beaches....funny, warm, proud read of the people of Ireland. Easy read, cheap books....."course called Ireland' written by a Delaware County man named Coyle who is an excellent golfer & previously wrote of his vain attempt to qualify for Q school, re/PGA.

What a Great trip/opportunity for Sam/Kelly's kids to travel to so many countries....great education & expanding their awareness of cultures and values. Just fantastic valuable experience....Not too cold but very windy at times.....I'll bet the kids will say they enjoyed Ireland.

Should visit the Ukraine next and learn about their other ancestors. Wear a babushka, eat pedaheh, drink some Kapusniak soup. I hear Kiev is beautiful this time of the year.
