HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!
WATERFORD CASTLEWe rode a ferry across the mote to stay in this castle. What a place, leaded glass windows, claw foot tubs, walls 3 ft. thick, the gourmet meals were the best I've eaten in my life, black crows cawing, wild deer running around, a memory forever embedded in my mind.
(Traveled with my Mother, my sister Sue, and life long friend Debbie Fleming.)
Northern IrelandStayed in a 5 Star resort - What a treat!
Listening to fabulous Irish band in a local Pub. Singing, laughing, and havin' a great time.

Highlight of the trip for Deb was to visit Kilkenny where the Thoroughbred horse lineage began. The Flemings own Fleming's Thoroughbred Farms in Wilcox, AZ.These horses stalls were nicer than MY HOME!
I've never seen such beautiful animals in my life.
Blarney Castle, would have kissed the blarney stone but could not bear to have someone hang on to my heels and be held off the top of the castle to kiss it. Maybe next trip.
The ancient graveyards were so interesting and sure made me feel insignificant when compared to the billions of souls who came before me. Arizona in comparison to this historical land is like a bright, shiny, new penny.
Old Irish saying: " You'll not plow a field by turning it over in your mind."
Imagine trying to plant potatoes in these fields. There are so many walls because they picked up the rocks enough to make a outline of a small field and then planted. They had to do something with the rocks!

May you walk on suns highway,
May you never want for more,
May Irish angels rest their wings,
Right beside your door.
