Here's another one from our weekend at South Bend .... rooting on the Fighting Irish, staying in an Irish B&B and even visiting a public house, where we made some new friends, had a pint or two and listened to some wonderful Irish music. Think we had a theme going this weekend? :-)

“We Irish prefer embroideries to plain cloth. To us Irish, memory is a canvas--stretched, primed, and ready for painting on. We love the "story" part of the word "history," and we love it trimmed out with color and drama, ribbons and bows. Listen to our tunes, observe a Celtic scroll: we always decorate our essence.”
