This is absolutely gorgeous, Amy. Beautiful song, too. Sorry about my busy week. I certainly didn’t mean to let you down this week but sometimes things all pile up in one week. Yesterday’s opening was also nice and the thread was beautiful. I do hope next week will be better for me. I have to go out again today but will drop by when I can.

Thank you Amy, for all you do for Amy’s Place. I guess sometimes we wonder what we’d do without you....LOL! Don’t mean to pressure you, just telling the truth.

HAPPY THURSDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

Sunset at Galway Bay, Co. Galway, Ireland

Galway Bay

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then may at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play.

For the breezes blowing o’er the seas from Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands digging praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways
They scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star.
And if there is going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there’s going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea.

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I love Dianna Ross. Saw her in Vegas years ago. She did her show in sequins and furs and after several encores and we didn’t leave...she came out in Levi’s and a sweatshirt and did another 30 minutes...and she “got down.” I think she enjoyed it as much as we did. She was relaxed and just sang.
