Wow - thank you to my friends @idaontario! While I Wow - thank you to my friends @idaontario! While I know my fellow literacy advocates and I are passionate about volunteering our time to help with the cause so that ALL students can read, I will admit it’s nice to feel appreciated! 💐 (And how gorgeous are these flowers from @forestofflowers_peterborough?!)
…and that’s a wrap on Ireland 2022! 🇮🇪 W …and that’s a wrap on Ireland 2022! 🇮🇪 Well worth the wait. We were also crazy lucky to be there during a heat wave - we barely needed any of the warm clothes people told us to pack, and only had rain one day (while driving to and from our destination). ☘️ And by the way, you know all those anxiety-provoking messages about only having 18 summers with your kids? I’m 45 and I was still thrilled to be on vacation with my parents. 💕
A peek at our home away from home in Dublin - a fo A peek at our home away from home in Dublin - a former cobbler’s workshop converted into a rental and located a block away from the beautiful St. Stephen’s Green, where I took my daily podcast-listening walk. Having all 11 of us (from 7 to 72 years old) under the same roof was non-negotiable and we were so lucky to find a six bedroom, two bathroom spot that was clean, cozy and full of character - with room around the dining table for all of us (perfect for the nightly games of Five Crowns!) We could have moved around and stayed in various cities throughout the trip but we decided we wanted a home base and were willing to take a few long day trips to get to all the sights we wanted to see - the longest was a 6 am departure and 10 pm return the day we went to the west coast! We bought some groceries, ate some restaurant meals and took advantage of Uber Eats as well. Other than some noisy morning birds (and the pre-dawn garbage day truck) we really couldn’t have asked for a better spot!
What a pleasure to have lunch and talk reading wit What a pleasure to have lunch and talk reading with this lovely Irish lady @readwritejen today! An international literacy date - taking place very appropriately at the café at the Museum of Literature! 🇮🇪 🇨🇦
Yesterday was Leahy family history day here in Ire Yesterday was Leahy family history day here in Ireland. We visited the beautiful port town of Cobh (pronounced Cove) in County Cork where our great-great-great grandfather Patrick Leahy left to sail for Canada back in 1825. The harbour was a perfect spot for a family photo in our matching hoodies! (Oh yes we did.) My history-buff brother also asked our driver for a detour (which may or may not have included jumping a fence) to check out the remains of the former home of Lord Ennismore, the landowner whose name was on tenant farmer Patrick’s embarkation certificate sponsoring him to emigrate. While the stable is still standing, the home was burned down in the Irish War of Independence as it symbolised oppression by the British. Bonus: another family photo by the sign for Waterford County, where Patrick was born. A visit to the Rock of Cashel (last photo, no family connection there lol) rounded off our southwestern adventure!
