A piece of home

While in Kilkenny we found this pub. It didn't server Miller Lite or Shiner Bock, but it did display the Texas flag with pride!

Welcome to Kilkenny

We took a trip out to Kilkenny for a few resons - 1) it is the craft center of Ireland and 2) it is where Erin's great-greatgrandfather is from. While we don't know where exactly in Kilkenny he is from, it was a great city to visit and we found a lot of neat things there.

This sign is what you see as you enter the city and says "Welcome to Kilkenny" in Gaelic.

March Moving Day

So we returned to Dun Laoghaire after four weekends out of town but had no time to rest, as our possessions from the States arrived. That was good, because we needed so many items from the shipment, but bad because we spent a weekend moving junk around.

We both hate moving day. Since Erin and I began dating, we've moved Erin's stuff three times. However, it has a hidden benefit -- we've been able to go through things again and again and donate to charity. We have duplicates of many things because we've merged two households so we've made some charities very happy.

We still have stuff scattered around because we’re short of storage space right now. If you want to come and visit, give us some advance notice because we’ll have to empty some closets for you!



Brian doesn't look happy, but I think it's because he'd like to donate everything to charity.
