SMILING IRISH EYES

                                                      HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Aren't these lovely?

                        I love carnations--they are such a long-lasting cut flower...

A Wonderful Trip down Memory Lane....

Years ago, I took Mom to Ireland on a bus Tour...and when we came home I made a scrapbook about our trip...and am I happy that I did...

Now that she has gone on before me, I can flip through the book and recall
all the happy times we had....

Here is page one....with a collage of small bits of Irish lands....

Here we are on our tour of the Cliffs of Mor...(Mom wearing her usual cap;)) )

She and our tour driver, who was named "Danny" (really!!), got along famously. 
Mom led all the singing and kept us laughing along the way....she and I knew all the words to the old songs....he was impressed and really loved her, as you can see.....

Here she is in the Irish Misty-ness....
Such a fine, small little rain.....

I do miss her Green Eyes and ready smile....

                                A souvenir of times past.....

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY 
We are having corned beef and cabbage today, but of course....

And a little toast to those we have loved....and lost to time...

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse ("If you Ever go across sea to
Ireland....")
