Gabriel Byrnes and Liam Neeson are top actors on my list. I have a great Irish CD "Woman's Heart" and I love ALL the songs on it.

Okay, this is so fun! I am full to bursting with Irish pride...

Liam Neeson, #1 favorite Irish actor, ever!
Irish Washerwoman, yes! I just sent my sister a card that plays that tune when opened.
Frank Delaney is my favorite Irish author, Ireland is my favorite book. BUT Maeve Binchy is a very close second, my favorite novel of hers is Glass Lake, but I've read them all and loved each one in its own way.

Irish Movie, hmm, Five Minutes of Heaven comes to mind...I learned a lot watching that one...

Thanks for the fun post!

Angela's Ashes.
And ...how can I top Liam Neeson, other than with Daniel Day Lewis.

And, my favorite Irish prose is the limerick, of course!

A painter, who lived in Great Britain,
Interrupted two girls with their knittin'
He said, with a sigh,
"That park bench--well I
Just painted it, right where you're sittin.'"

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
