when i was in the states recently, an old friend i was visiting with and sharing stories about the joys, challenges, and absurdities of my life here asked me to start a blog for hers and others amusement and interest... so here it is. Living in a run-down trailer on a windswept hillside on the northwest edge of the Dingle Peninsula definitely lends itself to stories...and amusement (AFTER the fact, at least :) )
