Six years ago My daughter and I landed in Shannon and as we got off the plane to walk across the tarmac, a man ahead of us knelt down to kiss the ground - he looked up and told us he'd been away too long. I asked how long he'd been away ..."Two weeks he answered."

I'll post your contest on my blog- I'm devoting my day off today to working out how to do more things on it! (I think I have some sort of Blog-building learning impediment, but I, too, will get there with the help of chocolate!) Once I get a bit better at blogging maybe I'll try a contest as well, to get to the magic # 10, for me! Good Luck on reaching 100!Vibrant Irelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07494376097026503961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-43726460452977399872010-07-22T04:05:33.998-05:002010-07-22T04:05:33.998-05:0092nd follower :)92nd follower :)clutterbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979657079581244592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-31982091453031855652010-07-22T02:49:31.735-05:002010-07-22T02:49:31.735-05:00I'd love to hear Barbara Kingsolver speak!

Just as a side note, I think I hate PC's! <br /><br />Hi Nicole, thanks for dropping by. Yes it is exciting. I can't believe I am only nine followers away from the big 100. I see you are even closer. Well done. <br /><br />Mise, I have wine...wine and/or chocolate do wonders for one's patience.<br /><br />Hey Brigid, are you away on holidays? I don't know, desiring books, can that really be considered greedy. I think not. <br /><br />Hi Catherine, Yes, it will be hard to part with these treasures, that is why it is such a short contest. My resolve might wane if it was any longer.<br /><br />Hi Karen, These are great books. You really should look out for them and all the others Barbara Kingsolver has written. After my contest that is. She is one interesting lady. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening at her talk.<br /><br />Hi Theresa, you are such a sweetheart. Thank you for linking my contest on your blog and on your facebook page. <br /><br />Hi Mary, Chocolate is great in stress related situations as you say. But tonight I found wine to be my stress reliever of choice. It was all I could find in the fridge!!!
