I must begin this post with a mention of John F. Kennedy, killed on this date so long ago. One of the things I like, and one of the most moving things to me about Ireland, is the people's fond memory of JFK. There are people here who know every word of each of his speeches! I frequently see programs on Irish television about JFK. Kevin and I actually paid .50 for a magnet we found in a charity shop (thrift store) with a group photo of John, Jacqueline, Caroline & John John on the veranda of their Hyannis Port home - we put it on our refrigerator. Memories.
Kevin and I enjoyed a fo'real day off today. It was such a treat, and it's no pau yet! (Not over)
After waking up without the alarm clock and enjoying a leisurely breakfast, we relaxed around the house. Then after lunch we got bundled up and took a walk down the road to explore the remains of an old church and its overgrown cemetery that borders "our" property.
I cooked a great chicken breast, potato, and vegetable dinner. We'll watch tv, eat chocolate biscuits, drink tea, and stay up as late as we like because tomorrow we are also off ! ! ! ! ! ! ! YEAH!
