"Think I'll go out to Alberta. . .but the wind sure can blow strong away out there"

Over a month since we left Ireland. It's like a kind of dream now. I was showing some of my photos of our 10 months in Ireland to my 95 year old mother-in-law here in Alberta; so beautiful, such an experience. And finished.
