Wonderful things in Finglas, Ireland


This is my companion Sister Nicoll. She is pretty much the best!


This is a church surrounded by a graveyard. Creepy? a little. I would have a hard time leaving mass in the evening feeling uplifted when I was surrounded by dead bodies. However, It's a beautiful church in a beautiful area




Babs and me. This is a great story. Babs is our Irish mother, she takes care of us each week by giving us food and making sure we are warm enough each day. We were over for dinner. Babs doesn't like anyone to do her dishes, but I thought I would take a chance and try. Babs caught me and told me she would take me down. I told her to bring it! she said i'll arm wrestle you. I thought "I did push ups this morning, I'm pretty confident I could put up a good fight" So I accepted.

We got into position and clarified the rules so there was no miscommunication. One, two three. Babs had a good start but I resisted instantly. My arm was almost down when she started wiggling my wrist (totally cheating). Once she stopped I managed to pull her arm back over to where we started. We didn't move from the starting position for what seemed like two minutes  I would tease her a bit and push hard and than relax. We both knew we had to draw and that's what we did. When we released our grip we heard an usual sound. The only way I can describe it is......umm.. It sounded like someone wearing shorts was standing up off of a leather chair! It was hilarious!!!!


Here is the result of our arm wrestle. Needless to say, I think she will think twice before asking me for another arm wrestle! haha


This is Dorrie. I have one thing to say about Dorrie. She will always keep you guessing.

Have a great week!
