The time has come!!! We are shaking the sand out of our shoes and heading for greener pastures! Ireland that is!!!! The Emerald Isle. Home of U2, Guinness, shamrocks and the Blarney Stone. Not sure who is more excited, me and Eric, or the kids. We've been packed for almost a week and the kids woke up at 6:30 this morning wondering when it was time to go! "Mom, will it rain there? Is it cool there? Is it green there?" Yes, yes, and YES!!!! You truly don't realize how much you miss the green and the rain until you no longer have it. Watering the few green trees and what is a lame excuse for some grass is no longer satisfying my need for green.
"They say mother earth is breathing
with each wave that finds the shore
with each wave that finds the shore
Her soul rises in the evening
for to open twilight's door
for to open twilight's door
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
watching o'er us all the while
watching o'er us all the while
And her heart it is in Ireland,
deep within the Emerald Isle"
deep within the Emerald Isle"
~Garth Brooks "Ireland"
