Wicklow – Have I seen this before?

5/26/10 More often than not, when I really don’t want to do something, I end up enjoying myself anyway. Going on the Wicklow tour was an exception to this rule. I hadn’t looked into the Wicklow tour because I didn’t care to see it. I’ve seen mountains and hills in the United States; I wanted… Continue reading Wicklow – Have I seen this before?

What I do know is that I spent more time in a church today than I have in probably four or five years combined. In fact, I think I hit about one… Continue reading Holy Day of Obligation
