irishmurr > Fifteen years ago today, Larry and I lost his mother.  We always think how much she would've cherished Johnny and Maeve -- and wish she could've been part of their lives.   She's definitely still missed.   (April 13, 2009)

irishmurr > It's been a busy weekend with family and friends -- as you can tell from the fact that I'm just now posting my photo from yesterday, and today is almost over.  Thought I'd leave you all with this photo of Johnny kissing his baby cousin Maeve before I hit the sack.  Tomorrow is going to be busy too .... but I will try and catch up with you all soon!  Enjoy your weekend -- that's what it's there for.  :-)

irishmurr > It was a lovely fall weekend, so the hubby and I got up early this morning, drove about an hour, walked on a beach along the shores of Lake Erie, found some lovely fall foliage, strolled through this quaint town square .... and ended up back home, where he watched football and I went to look at bridal gowns with the girls.

Yes, this was a perfect day.  (November 2, 2008)
