Hit and Miss

Well, this a.m. as I was getting dressed and being quiet before John woke up, I started thinking about things I miss about home and love about Ireland, so here's my shot at a very incomplete list.

Miss: Alex
Love: Real brewed tea, available for take-away (carry out) at any filling station with fountain drink capability
Miss: Heat throughout the night!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love: The smell of breakfast wafting up from downstairs and I dont' have to cook it!
Miss: Katie, Matt and Al in the mornings
Love: The fact that ALL weathermen, regardless of country, are wacky!
Miss: Alex
Love: Everyone you meet seems to be an ambassador for Ireland and wants you to have a great time and enjoy yourself. They are friendly, polite, caring, funny, kind. This is a lesson we could all learn and use back home.
Miss: Being able to pick up the phone and call my Mom and Dad anytime, anywhere and it wouldn't be costly.
Love: Tea anytime, anywhere.
Miss: Iced tea with lunch.
Love: The gorgeous vistas one sees when just driving down the road.
Miss: Highways with wide shoulders.
Love: Old ruins and megolithic burial tombs, just off the main road.
Miss: The phone ringing and hearing Alex on the other end.
Love: You all!
Miss: You all!
