INNISHFREE MEMORIES

                              I took Mom on a bus tour of Ireland before she got so ill...
                     
When we returned,
                                  I made this photo memory montage quilt for her....
                                           "Oh Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are callin'
                                               From glen to glen and down the mountainside..."

She sang all the Irish songs, especially Danny Boy, her favorite, in her
lovely alto voice, while my father used to accompany her on our piano--
to this day that song still gives me chills....fond memories......

 And
here she is with our darling bus driver who
was amazed that she knew all the words and to all the verses....
His tenor and her alto led the whole bus in song as we gazed at the
amazing green-ness of the Irish Countryside...

                                          We had such a wonderful and fun trip....

                                                      Wearin' O' the Green---Happy Times

                       ["Oh, I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand,
                              And he said how's dear old Ireland
                                   And how does she stand..."]

                                HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY MOM💚💚💚💚👭
                                                      {Je me souviens..."}


And,
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you All....
