Back from N. Ireland!




Here is a preview - I took 97 photos during my trip!
I am with my friend, Cindy (and the Dean of Washburn SON), at a traditional irish pub - just ate fish and chips for lunch. Another photo is from Ulster Folk Museum (Ireland circa 1900) in a protestant church, and three from the seacoast. The weather was cooler and it rained one day. However, it didn't interfere with shopping in downtown Belfast.

I left Belfast Tuesday morning at 11:20 am and got back to Girard at 4:00 am Wednesday morning. It is a long trip, yes, but I spent 7.5 hours at Newark airport - a victim of delays due to weather, lack of flight crew and then mechanical problems with the plane! The 4 pm flight to KC was cancelled, I was bumped to the 9 pm flight, which left at 11:30 pm! I did survive - and slept through chemo on Wednesday morning. Still no side effects from these treatments. I have been so blessed. I am more tired this week, but I am surely jet lagged a bit.
Fitting, my devotion last night was about joy - read Habakkuk 3:17-18. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.
Take time to enjoy the fall weather - it's raining here today. A good day to rest and stay cozy in the house.
Love to you -
Ellen
