Kathleen Egan arrived last evening with two Four Poster Beds under her arm. Made by Brigie Henson in Castledaly they are beautiful and are to be raffled to help the Kate in Uganda. They are to be raffled seperately and are on display in Morans and Killeens.Tickets cost one Euro.
Scott and Eileen Fleming and their two boys Connor and Sean from near Chicago called in to Shannonbridge last evening. They have already stayed overnight in Rachra House and Glenderham House.Eileen is a daughter of my late first cousin Sean O Connor and she was telling about the cost of their holiday. The airfares cost over $3000 for the four. Scott was saying that they found food expensive with a visit to Burgerking in Ireland costing twice as much as in America.
Back to flying. Our friend Marie from Cherry Hill departed for the airport in Shannon yesterday morning to be told on arrival that the plane was overbooked. They asked her to stay overnight in an hotel in Limerick and gave her $600 and a First Class seat for this morning. She agreed.
Good to see Birdwatch Shannonbridge back on song. Or do sandmartins sing ? Funny enough but last evening I had plans to visit Grandfather's grave in Clonburren to give it a clean up with Parazone but got waylaid by the cousins above. Thats my excuse. Try and visit the Library this Thursday 7 to 9pm where a great selection of books are waiting to be read.
Lorraine Mc Kenna from Pottstown is an O'Connor and she was wondering what kind of religeon was going to be started in Temple Connor last Sunday. Promised to know when I find out.
