What a day this has been! 8:00 church service at St. Multose again. Then about one o’clock the Tour of Ireland cyclists rode right by me. I had a spot on the curb and got a good shot of the three leaders as they turned the corner around the Visitor’s Center headed for the Post Office and the road to Cork. (Jim, you know where I’m talking about.). It rained hard all morning till about 10 minutes before the cyclists showed up and the rest of the day has been lovely. Then Joan, a friend I met at the home of Margie and Alana at dinner on Tuesday, rang my doorbell and took me out to the quaint little village of Novahal a few miles out of town where we had a delightful lunch at the Finder’s Inn. Homemade Cottage Pie and Strawberries and Cream – Ice cream so yellow it’s hard to believe how thick the cream must be! Then a bit of a drive around Oysterhaven to see the sail boats and back to the apartment.
At church this morning the priest suggested a book which I have now ordered from the local bookstore (Yes, it’s open on Sunday afternoon). “Where Three Streams Meet” – about Celtic Christianity. The plan is for us to meet after next week for me to get some instruction from him. I have been reading another Celtic book this week written by a man in Atlanta! Wonders never cease.
To top off the day, Joan is picking me up again in a bit to go to a “Praise and Prayer” session – the first one to be held here as far as she knows. I had planned to go anyway to see what an Irish one is like – compared to one I attended in Ninety Six a few months ago.
So, another very full day – and a delightful one. I am so blessed!!!
