“Your name, O Lord, endures forever, your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭135:13‬ ‭

Happy Thursday sweet friends! Our warm temps and spring-like weather has quickly turned back to winter. I am sure my patio peach trees and snowball bushes will be bitten by the frost. Hopefully, the Lady Banks roses won’t suffer. One thing for sure, weather isn’t predictable. With St. Patrick’s Day fast approaching, I have been thinking of our amazing trip we made to Ireland a couple of years ago, especially with some newly discovered information. Recently my brother did the DNA test for the purpose of knowing ancestry. It was family legend that our maternal great-grandmother was a Native American Cherokee. My mother and all of her siblings had dark complexions, hair, and eyes with high cheek bones. So, it all seemed to make sense. My Dad and his family are fair-skinned with red hair and blue eyes. The results from the DNA test were shocking. There was zero percent of Native American and sixty percent English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry.

Ireland is an intriguing place, a place that we would like to visit again and stay a wee bit longer. Today we will revisit Dublin, a fascinating city with a lot to see and do. One striking thing to us was the helpful and friendly people we met on the streets of Dublin. It was as if we were old friends and they had known us forever. A couple of young Irish lads we met “cut loose to singing” (as we might say in the south) ”Sweet Home Alabama”. We felt right at home. Welcome to Dublin!!

Trinity College was founded in 1592 and is Ireland’s oldest university.  It is one of the most esteemed universities in the world and one of the city’s most beautiful sights.READ MORE
