What a beautiful letter - thanks for sharing it, Lou! I can't imagine reading this when it's possible to hear it in your delightfully musical voice.

As it happens, my sister, Eileen, was a finalist in the Los Angeles-based Rose of Tralee event when we were young. We have been going to the local Irish Fairs here my whole life. Thanks also for the travel suggestions. The next time I visit my sister in England, I plan to stop in Ireland to have a look around since I've only been to the Dublin airport - that doesn't count! Best wishes for a wonderful weekend and I look forward to your next letter.

Loved your little catch up this Saturday morning Louise. It just brought everything you accomplished this week through your FB family live and catch ups to mind and enthused my desire to 🎼‘ walk a mile in your shoes’ once more. Keep looking up Louise, lots of love and light to you lovely.💚☘️ 🦋🌈🙏🐞
