Dapple Daisy is going to take us for a
stroll through the beautiful country of
Ireland.
We spent 2 weeks there seeing the entire
'GREEN' side. We did take a short jaunt
to the 'orange' side as I just had to go to
the Belleek factory ... be still my heart!
CSN GIVEAWAY ends 3/17
This little stream is in Blackwater on the
corner by G'ma Maggie's birth home
This is my G'ma Maggie's birth home inBlackwater, County Wexford in the late
1800s before she came to the USA.
I am a dual citizen of both USA &
Ireland. This was available to 2nd
generation lineages up until a couple
years ago ... in honor of the love of my
family I took advantage of carrying this
privilege of Irish citizenship on.
The most lovely drive was through this
area of the countryside where they have
the Stations of the Cross along the
roadway for you to pray ... it was just
awesome.
Haystacks ...
Be gorra! Try & figure out where the
heck you are going was interesting.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures of a gorgeous country that I will never see!

Oh how beautiful! I recently learned that my grandmother's ancestors on her mother's side were from Belfast, Ireland. Her father's side were French. i always thought I had a little "luck" in me and Green has always been my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteEngland is as close as I've been to Ireland. I would love to go some day. It is such a beautiful country from what I have seen of pictures. Yours were wonderful. That was very interesting what you told us about the duel citizenship. Thank you for sharing that with us. Happy St Patty's Day!
ReplyDeleteOh, my...how I LOVE this post!!! We had the good fortune to visit Ireland for a few weeks in the 90's and this brought back that happy trip. I, too, have some Irish lineage but we've not been able to pinpoint where the family was from over there. I had hoped to have that info when we went on the trip, but I didn't. I don't know if I'll ever get back there...although it would be nice. Thanks for taking the time to post all these magnificent photos! And Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a marvelous time.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the lovely scenery which is very different from our country.
Through the blog, I learned how much St. Patrick day means to you.
Lovely GREEN♡♡♡
I was born in sheep year,haha. (the twelve signs of the Japanese zodiac)
What beautiful pictures, so perfect to show for St. Patty's Day. Looks like you had a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures, Marydon! I've never been to Ireland and not likely I'll ever go, so I enjoyed seeing these. It must have been exciting for you to visit there. :) Have a good week ahead.

Hi Marydon, I have really enjoyed your post of seeing your beautiful country of Ireland. I have heard so many stories from people who have gone there about the beautiful countryside and your pictures were wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I feel like I have just taken the trip with you. Hope all is well at your house. Ours is continuing doctor appointments and haven't learned anything I didn't already know about his problem. Take care. Your Missouri Friend.

Loved the pictures! My dream is to go to Ireland one day, and my husband thinks it might be a good retirement trip. Well, if he's in agreement, it certainly seems that I'm almost there for sure!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tour you took us on of this beautiful scenery. Having dual citizenship is very cool!

Hi Marydon, What a fabulous trip! Visiting Ireland is on my bucket list and seeing your pictures makes me want to go more. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sherry
How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. I've never been to Ireland -- except for a quick stop years ago at Shannon Airport. I'd love to go and it's high on my list. So glad to take the tour with you. Lots of hugs, love and St. Patrick's Day blessings to you and Harold.
ReplyDeleteOh Sis Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful share this evening. I so enjoyed my trip along with you to Ireland this evening. The countryside is so beautiful. I especially loved seeing G'Ma Maggie's birth home. Is it not quaint? Is it still in the family?
The church stain-glass windows of color are so beautiful. I really enjoyed seeing them. What a peaceful place to sit for awhile. I can only imagine how beautiful the Sunday Masses are there.
I loved seeing the sheep and in the distance seeing the Ocean. How beautiful, the best of both worlds.
Happy St. Patty's Day my precious Irish Sister. I know you will be wearing of the green tomorrow.
Many hugs and SO much love, Your Lil Sis, Sherry
Thank for sharing pictures like that it makes me amaze!

I cannot believe how many posts I had to catch up on Marydon! Just loved the tour of Ireland and the history of the Blarney Stone! Perhaps I will be able to visit the Green Isle before I leave the earth....with just a wee bit o luck LOL! Hugs, K
ReplyDeleteBlogger can be confusing for me - I tried to reply to the comment you left on my blog but couldn't - still trying to get the hang of all of this! I sent you an e-mail thanking you for the CSN giveaway. Please let me know if you got it. Thank you so much - I do enjoy your blog so much, it is like having my tea with an old friend with each post I read.
ReplyDeleteMaria
Hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day! I really enjoyed seeing those Waterford crystal pictures. Always so interesting to me to see glas formed into such pieces of beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are just beyond beautiful. The Stations of the Cross are wonderful. I can say I never knew Ireland was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.
