Hillard, Stephanie, Rebecca and Laura arrived in time for lunch. Laura and Julie helped us put on a Canadian lunch, pancakes, maple syrup, ICE CREAM, bacon, eggs. Yum yum! Here in Ireland, pancakes are usually for "supper", meaning the snack before bed. Then Julie and Laura left to pick up Irene who's visiting and has been laboring in France. The rest of us went for a drive along the ocean west of Galway, the other side of the bay from where we are. We hadn't done this, and as always, it was lovely! Sure it rained and was cold and windy, but it's so pretty! We were in the little town Spiddal, where very little English is spoken, very little English on signs either. Got some souvenir shopping done and took the kids to play at the beach.
We stopped in at the Galway Bay Hotel in Salthill for supper, got my cheesecake that I must eat on our anniversary. :) We got home to 2 dozen Krispie Kreme donuts in our window sill, that Ruben's employee brought back from London! So needless to say, many a donut was consumed in the next 24 hours... they had to be eaten as they are best fresh!! Plus Stephanie and Hillard had never had Krispie Kreme's so they had to try one of each, especially for the baby in Steph's belly!
Sunday meeting was at Jodie's, our last one there as this Sunday is in Roscommon. I must say I was a bit sad. We made yet another not normal lunch for our guests - Mexican food! The kids had an awesome afternoon just playing her while we chatted and chatted.
We loved having them here and getting to know them even better! Yes, we have to stay in touch and hopefully see each other again before too long! And we can't wait to here about baby girl or boy in the next few weeks!
Thanks again for coming! XXXX
