Day in Dingle

We had a great day in Ballyferriter yesterday. The weather was superb! Dan golfed and Mike and I walked a little of the Dingle Way. It was brilliant. Then we had the family over for tea and a little "sup".

Cheers, Anne

Happy Mother's Day

I'm having an awesome Mother's Day. Lilly spent the night with us last night which was a real treat. She enjoyed a big walk with us along the river. We saw lots of really big turtles sunning themselves. Then she had a big swing at the park. The highlight for Lilly was sleeping in our "big girl bed".

Today Liz, Pete and Meg showed up with with a wonderful brunch which we enjoyed on the back porch. Then Liz, Dan and I went for a long walk and now we stretched out relaxing.

Easter and more!

Happy Easter to all. We had a glorious day here! Lots of family, friends and sunshine! Here are pictures of our recent happenings: Dan and drove to Indy to celebrate with Trish, then Trish came for a quick visit to the Bend, and then our Easter celebration. In the middle of all these festivities Dan surrendered his truck (it was recalled and demolished) and shopped and bought a new one!

Happy St. Pat's

Lilly had a fun time frosting shamrock cookies and singing and dancing at Fiddler's Hearth. She was quite taken with the Irish step dancer at the Hearth and she gave it a try!

Lots of love,
Anne

An amazing thought....

Notice the animal foot prints--must have been a squirrel.

From Rooftops

My neighbor Anne often has awesome insights. Yesterday she said she saw the snow on the roof and thought how no human could shovel it up there so perfectly. The perfection of the snow laying up there was something that only God could do!

It looks like our roof is iced--the snow is lying so smoothly!

And then here's the cluster of roofs behind our house....

Celebrating Pete!

We had a fun dinner with Lilly, Pete and Meg. Lilly really enjoyed our Mardi Gras decorations.
We're still shoveling snow and keeping the home fire burning! Most mornings Dan and I have forged through the snow to walk around the river. This morning the snow was falling and it was beautiful.

Double the fun!

Dan and I had a super time in CA. We enjoyed lots of time with my aunt and uncle and cousins. We were able to take the ferry to Sausalito which is Dan's favorite outing in the city!

Our friends, Tony and Nancy, joined us for a relaxing trip to the Napa and Somona valleys. They celebrated their 37th anniversary with all of us! We enjoyed meeting up with our friend, Kevin, who gave us a great tour of his favorite winery. We had lunch at our friend Denise's brother's restaurant in Yountville. The next day we had a wonderful outing to the Jack London State Park.

Then we returned to the city to enjoy a walk together to Baker's Beach for the sunset. At Tony's request Mike gave us an attic concert including explanation of the bagpipes and some history.
