Grazie


I ran home to Austin for a few days, and came back to Ireland with Ms Pope and Sören to celebrate Thanksgiving here. It was disconcerting to take them around County Cork after spending so many months here by myself (not to mention the multitude of trips I have had here in the past eight years).

I'm not sure what Ms Pope's favorite part was, but Sören discovered a fairy glade in Blarney:


One of Sören's classmates, when he heard Tuesday that she would be going to Ireland and was planning on seeing the Blarney Castle, intentionally misunderstood her and was laughing hysterically that she would visit the "Barney Castle." She just put on a patented Pope look of disdain and turned her shoulder...

It surprises me how used I can get to being by myself, but how right it feels for the two of them to be here with me...



And now that they have departed to go back home, this apartment is awfully quiet.
