Procrastination

Casey and me

Yeah, that's me.......the world's biggest procrastinator!

Last post February 25th? I thought I was supposed to be doing this once a week not once every quarter!

Anyway! Hopefully everyone enjoyed being Irish for day last month. I know I don't have any connections with the Irish but it always feels good to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and have fun with the Irish. Got to visit Ireland last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. Wonderful scenery, beautiful little country villages and everyone I met was just so welcoming. What did disturb me though was that Ireland is apparently losing much of it's charm (or so the locals tell me) as their economy grows and they become more prosperous. I really hope it doesn't as I would hate to see Ireland as yet another Americanised nation.

One thing I did not enjoy was the traffic. Vehicle ownership has grown enormously over the last few years but the road system has not been able to keep up! If anybody reading this manages to visit Ireland be sure to visit the very beautiful village of Adare near Limerick and their is also a very small seaside village close to the Cliffs of Moher called Doolin. Has a wonderful pub and a great Aran sweater store. Too expensive for me but you can just feel the quality as you touch them.

We finally had winter (and lots of snow) here in Toronto but not before experiencing the most wonderfully balmy winter right through to mid January. Now we are all eagerly awaiting a new summer which promises to be really warm. With my new car and hopefully a new digital SLR camera I hope to be getting out into the country a lot more this summer and start enjoying life again. Have embarked on a new healthy diet and am determined to banish KFC, Coke and all the other bad foods from my life. Then I need to get fit again as I want to have fun in my sixties. Of course a million dollar lottery win would be a big help as well!

I'm going to have less time than usual as I have signed up to watch the rest of the World Cup Cricket online and there is now a game everyday until the 28th April. I think South Africa has a great chance this year as long as they don't choke again. I'll be holding thumbs for them all the way.

Lastly, to my cousins in New Zealand......Take care....my thoughts are with you everyday. Enjoy your lovely granddaughter and have lots of fun with her. Best wishes to her Mom & Dad as well. Will write soon.

Supper time! Gotta go so I hope this won't be the last for another two months. Love to everyone!!!
