Titanic Museum

We visited the Titanic Experience, a museum in Cobh Ireland.  This was the last port of call for the Titanic.  And personally, we believe this is the port where my Grandma's parents left Ireland to begin life in America.

My awesome men!

Ezra outside the Cobh museum, looking at the ocean.  Wish I could do a panoramic picture here!  See that huge church in the background, we even went in there and the next picture shows the inside:

Quite breathtaking!

Beth's 16th birthday!

On March 11, we celebrated Beth's 16th birthday at the....Waterford Crystal Factory.  On the way there, we went by these colorful buildings.  Aren't they beautiful?  If you could see down the road a bit, you'd see the ocean.  Sorry I didn't take 'that' picture!
Beth is admiring the crystal table setting in the museum.

Of course, Sebi goes right to the animal department.  Hello, bear!

We had a good tour of the glass-making process, then we left.    It was a good way to spend a special birthday.

Comeragh board meeting



The board comes to visit in February:



The board rented this holiday home in Ireland.  It was roomy and beautiful!  Here the board discusses camp life while the sun pours in on them.  They were here for several days and got a lot accomplished.

My new friends!  They are the wives of the board members.  For privacy, I won't write names...but assure me, if you see their faces around town...you will WANT to get to know them.  Absolutely awesome woman!!

Camp and board ladies eat out, a rarity for all of us.

The hidden sheep


The other day Duane, Sebi, Ezra, and the entire work group decided to climb this mountain.  If you look closely, you'll see sheep grazing here and there.



If you walk up to the edge and peek over, you'll see this view!  By the way, did you see the sheep yet?  There's one on the cliff.  Well, if you still don't see it, Sebi will help.




Look quickly!




The guys really got to like this fellow.  That blue paint blotch on the sheep indicates ownership.  They all had a great adventure!



Well, all but one.



He was a good sport, though!  And he soon got his wish...to run and play all day, everyday, in the beautiful Comeragh Mountains!
