Several years...Such a wonderful, moving blog, Kim.<br /><br />Several years ago, Eileen came to the WRW retreat and told me about Blarney Castle and the magical garden. When I visited, it was everything she said and more.<br /><br />But if anyone is planning on visting Blarney Castle, bring Chapstick and a little money to tip the guy supporting you while you hang backwards to kiss the Blarney Stone. The Chapstick is to protect your lips from the black muck on the stone left by zillions of kisses. Seriously. Bring Chapstick.<br /><br />Thanks for the recap, Kim! Love your blog.Kathryn Caskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082130243947354667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-38087035275959321722011-04-17T02:48:27.504-04:002011-04-17T02:48:27.504-04:00Sounds like a great event.

And your sentence : "Our military gives us the freedom of thought and speech, thus allowing us to write what we want and read what we want", I couldn't agree more.<br /><br />Pics that held my attention is picture of WWII veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor. It's a shame, sometime a country never valued and respect their military veteran, this veteran is being forgotten when they become old, and live at poor condition. I remember an old saying in my country : "Great nation is a nation that respects the hero"Renhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586463631307383862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-27393196784400625612011-04-16T20:06:22.980-04:002011-04-16T20:06:22.980-04:00Great recap!

My hubby is a Persian Gulf Army vet from 1990-91. And I was raised by a WWII vet who was in the Navy. Needless to say, the military is near and dear to my heart.LilMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847160970054624743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-89029438004752035722011-04-16T11:04:30.784-04:002011-04-16T11:04:30.784-04:00Great post.
