I had dinner tonight with a friend of mine from Ireland. Oh, sure, by gosh, I did, *heh* and it was lovely. Vancouver is just too hot right now, so we sat outside on a patio and tried to keep cool. My friend said when she had first heard about Vancouver, she imagined the "land of ice and snow" and was shocked to find when she first got here that it was nothing as she imagined. In any case, right now it's too darned hot to sit at my computer.I have always loved everything Irish, and my favorite song is one that was originally Scottish, but it was "borrowed" by the Irish and they made it theirs. Scottish, Irish -- it's a beautiful song.
I will be back to visit you all soon, and I promise I won't be AWOL for long. Cheers!

It's ok to be AWOL sometimes. It's life. :-) :-)

That's a beautiful song. It reminds me of one of my favourites "Loch Lomond" - I remembered my mum used to sing/hum it when I was a child and a couple of years ago I looked it up and heard the entire song for the first time in my life. It really is beautiful music.
AWOL mean "without" leave and I'm sure all of your bloggish fans understand the need for absences...Although I also understand the feeling of guilt when I dont post regularly. Absences are like retreats...recharging the batteries. Nice song.
Go raibh maith agat.
(Thank you in Irish)As most of my memories are connected to Ireland, tried to learn that language too.
Thank you for reminding me of its beauty.
Wish you a pleasant weekend!
You're forgiven, come back soon - we miss you. :)
I love this song. If you're lucky, you might have heard it performed by "Celtic Woman" (or is it Celtic Women). They are on in concert on our local PBS station.
Enjoy your time dear! Life is so much more than just sitting in front of a computer. There are things to see, people to meet and experiences to enjoy. Enjoy yourself!

Live, Love, Laugh...Enjoy!
Have a Beautiful Weekend, Jo!
