 Finally,
my fingers have stopped seizing...
by Trailer Park Paddies
Has the stress subsided? I am feeling distinctly calmer
than last week when I suffered numerous mini strokes and
non fatal heart attacks as I awaited the return of my passport
and visas. I am still not in possession of my passport or
Russian visa but the application is in and the passport
in Ireland, so a serenity, a kind of peaceful sense of being
has descended on me as I pack my bags and wait for all the
needed documentation to return to me.

Storm

We saw many beautiful, beautiful places in between... many
National Parks and seashores, my favorite being the Red
Wood National Forest in N. California... there was a time
when the awestruck, beautiful young woman I call Molly,
leaned over and whispered, reverently, to me... "I think
GOD lives HERE!"

Four counties and four great rivers make up the South East of Ireland.
The Barrow, Blackwater, Suir, Slaney and the Nore flow through a
countryside rich in antiquity. Some of the most famous castles in
Ireland are to be found here in arguably the most pleasant climate
in the country, which gives the region its nickname, the 'Sunny
South East'.
