Bear with me

Anna and Maggie adored these bears in the toy store in Ireland.  They wanted to take them home...but, besides costing about 80 Euro (about $100) each, they were a tad big for our suitcases!  So they enjoyed them in the store!

My posts will have a bit of 'randomness' to them until life gets sorted out a bit.  We had so many amazing experiences in Ireland, Germany, Spain, and Malta during the last 9 months.  However, since most of our travel happened in the last couple months, I hadn't had a chance to get caught up with posting until now.  I wish I could place the blog posts in their correct spots, but the computer automatically places them in the 'newest post' section.  So please 'bear' with me in all this.  :)

A Special Friend

We had great neighbors in Ireland...Leo and his granddaughter, Kayla.  We'd get to see her on weekends and have fun together.  Now that we are back in the States, our heart aches when we remember them and think how far we are away now.  When I think of Ireland, I think of this sweet, cherubic face!

Here is a picture of our neighbor friend.

That's a beautiful rainbow!  We miss you Kayla!!

Lots of good times in Malta.  Here:  Resurrection Day 2014

And at long last, our Miggiani relatives.  What a delight to finally see them all!  And what a friendly bunch!!

Malta- part 4

Here are some more random shots in Malta...

...actually, this was in Ireland, but it just seemed to look sweet here.

OK, now we're in Malta.

An interesting fact:  St. Paul's Bay is in the background.  It's where Paul (in the Bible) supposedly landed on 'Melita.'  It's the patch of land to the left with a cross and a rock on it.

So Malta!
