Old Irish Blessing
May those who love us, love us
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if He doesn't turn their hearts
May He turn their ankles
So we'll know them
by their limping

Great blessing! :)
My family heritage is Irish (I was a Moran before I was a Dykstra), and I'd love to go to Ireland one day...I look forward to hearing what's going on both before AND after you guys leave.
Welcome to the blogging world!
