What?! Friday again? (Part two)

Here I am with another week under my belt and no posts to show for it. Ah well. Such is life. I'm Happy to announce that on Monday we will be moving into a lovely little place. It is (very) surprisingly the top two floors of a townhouse in a section of townhouses, but seeing as it is the first place that has felt all around "right" to me, it is perfect. Plus there's a lot of kids around so, mine will have friends to play with. And it's well under my allocated budget, so that means a lot of opportunity for travel expenses to be where they need to be to fully appreciate this remarkable country.

We are off to Galway City early Saturday morning for a Lego League event my son's classmates are involved in and we are staying over night to explore some of the countryside over there. It is a two and a half hour drive due west, so I figured we'd make a weekend out of it!

More great news! I think I found the river in my book yesterday! It is called the Avonmore River and since the kids have a half day at school today, we are going to return there (I was there yesterday) and have a picnic on its banks. I am already excited to be back by it. It flows by the house I thought to be Sophia's which, to my utter disappointment the day I first saw it in person, is not the house of Sophia. But now I understand the house was there to lead me to the river I needed to see. It is so ingenious the way this all works out in life, don't you think? :)

Well, I must be off to gather picnic supplies before I pick up my fellow adventurers, so until next time (hopefully in much less than a week) take care and keep smiling. It lightens your soul.

cheers!
Becky

  1. I'm not surprised that you guys found a Lego event in Ireland. Lol! I knew you'd find the "right" home for your stay and I can't wait to get your address (hint hint)! A picnic by the river is a great way to start your weekend. Have a wonderful getaway with your fellow adventurers! Love you always! Xoxo
