Proverbs

Just a few more fun proverbs from the area....


Ní hé lá na báistí lá na bpáistí
A rainy day isn't a day for the children

Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat
May the cat eat you and the devil eat the cat

Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile
A beetle recognises another beetle

Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde
Beware of the anger of a patient man

Maireann croí éadrom i bhfad
A light heart lives longest

And the best one so far:

Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam
A country without a language is a country without a soul!

Hard to Believe

It is hard to believe... but we are celebrating our six year wedding anniversary today! Six years.............. Wow.

Keeping Busy

Sorry that there have not been very many posts over the past week. We have been very busy with some students that are here traveling around Ireland for the summer. We have really enjoyed our time with them this past week, and we hope that they have a great time in this beautiful country.

The Family Page

Just a quick note to say that I have a wee page with some pics of my family's visit up and going. Just Click below to continue on to the page. Hope you like it... There will be a few more on it soon!

We were really excited to have three of my family members come see us this month. My mom (far right), my sister - Pris (middle), and her husband - Ron (the only guy in the picture) came and spent ten days with us! We had a wonderful time traveling around Ireland. We had decent weather while they were here... but I think that it was a little colder here than it was back in the states. I hope to create a little page with some of their pictures in a bit.

Site Down

Hey guys... Thank you to all of you that have kept checking the ol' website.... We have really had some problems over the last few weeks... In fact - we have not been able to update it at all. Problems are solved now and we will start updating ASAP. Thanks for sticking with us.
