Irish Dreams







I had a dream about Ireland last night.  It was green, very green.  I like green, (greenbacks,)  And if I can't get some of those from the bank or for all those people that owe me millions, then I have an idea.  I'll just look back at all of these images I took of Ireland on my trip there last October.  It's coming up on 6 months since I was there and I still haven't gone through and saved all of the pictures I took.  I know, I know, I got a little carried away with the camera.  But it was my first trip outside of the country.  I figure that as long as I have my memory and these images of that gorgeous green country, then I can re-live the trip.  The trip of a lifetime.  I can always dream about it, too.  Thanks McFarland's!

Naming Ivy






Last Sunday, February 22 2009, Ivy Mae Stailey, our newest grandchild, was given her name and a blessing by her father, Jason, at Hilary & Jason's sacrament meeting in Silver City, New Mexico.  It was a wonderful and beautiful weekend. The cousins met Ivy for the first time, after much anticipation having grown enormously these two months.  And with masked faces and gloved hands they greeted her joyously.  It is such a blessing to celebrate this little girl into the world with family, smiles and laughter, fun and great food.  Great weather, too.  Thanks go to Jason's parents, Glen & Michelle for hosting and preparing such a great spread.  Good times!!
