December 15
I will be visiting the Land of the Leprechauns, as someone near and dear to me calls it, over the next few days, so this will be my last posting until I return from Ireland. When I return, I hope to return to a finished house! We shall see.
“Le gach dea ghui” is Gaelic for “With all good wishes” or “Best Wishes.” I’ll be back before the holidays though, so this is just to tide you over.
In the meantime, here’s what’s happening at the house!
