After what seems a year or so, we are back in CH. Two months in RI were great with a lot of friends and family there off and on. Then a surprise trip to Ireland for a week with more family. Now, I have to get out from under a pile of mail, etc.
CH was in fine shape after we got back. Except for the weeds in the patio garden. The Idyllers continue to come and go, my German has come back (what there is of it), and my old CH friends seem to be well and happy.
The highlights of the summer were having my children and grandchildren with us in RI for almost a month, seeing the others in RI, and of course, the trip to Ireland.
Ireland was a real treat. I have never met such nice people who have such a great humor about them. Even the policeman who caught us speeding was a funny guy (and he did not give us a ticket). The Irish landscapes are beautiful, the weather is ever changing, and the ancient ruins were so stark. The people and the country have had many hard times over the centuries, but their economy is now booming. The best part of the trip was being together with some of the family.
We did different things but always got together in the PM to eat some great dishes and drink some fine beer and whiskey. We never did get some Irish moonshine called "Po Chine" ?sp? I have a pot load of video to work on for a movie about the trip.
