I May Have Found the Answer To the Problem

For about the last 10 years I've been trying to teach myself to speak Irish. I found a widget that shows me a different work and how to pronounce it. Today's word is for Cel Phone...An Guthan Soghluaiste. It for once is pronounced that way it looks. I'm thinking if I just say Cel,they may know what I mean.


I'm never going to learn this.

What You Looking at Fool

Was out for a walk with my sister on Credit Island Park when we saw this goose. I got as close as I felt comfortable to take its picture. I watched me all the time and when we came back around to it it honked and
made sure I saw it again. Other people came and went but he kept his eye on me

Trip Down River to Muscatine

What started out as a drive down to a winery in Coal Valley ended up as a trip to Muscatine and a walk along their beautiful river front. Really windy but at 81F who cared.
