Mrs. Charm departs this morning for the airport and a day mostly in the air (Austin to Newark to Shannon) for eight days in Ireland with friends from Kansas City. They’ll be staying out in the country towns of Kenmare, Doolin and Dingle.
Mr. B. and I will be roughing it, eating Kosher hot dogs and cold cuts and him his favorite TV dinners and EZ Mac. In short, we’ll be glad when she returns, full of tales about the rainy, chilly Irish weather, no doubt. In September!
Did you know that Ireland shares the same latitude (53rd parallel north) as Lake Winnepeg in Canada? Also parts of Alaska? Yup. It is that many miles north. Hundreds of them north of Texas. No wonder so many Irish have emigrated to the US. They came to get warm.
