Please Q Here

Drew, today we went to a famous old library in Dublin to see a very old book call The Book of Kells.

Here is grandmother waiting in line to go in.

What does it mean to Q Here?

 

 

 

The Irish and British talk about a Queue when they are waiting to go into a building. They say Queue up, and we say wait in line. It means the same thing. So, in this sign Q stands for Queue. Have you ever been in a Q?

We hope to get home tomorrow night. We look forward to seeing you and your Mom and Dad.

We found a McDonald's in Londonderry

This afternoon Grandmother and I went to a shopping mall near our hotel in Londonderry, North Ireland. When we saw the McDonald's Grandmother said, "Let's split a Quarter Pounder with cheese." We did, and it was good. You would have enjoyed being with us.

Here is a picture I made of Grandmother eating her half of the Quarter Pounder. How much would 1/2 of a 1/4 (Quarter) pounder be? Ask Mom or Dad to help you figure this.

We miss you. Tell Mom and Dad hello for us.

Is this Granddad's store?

Who is Brown?

I caught a Leprechaun using my computer

Drew, look who I caught using my computer to look at your picture.

A Singing Leprechaun using my computer.

Click on the picture for a larger image. Would you like me to put him in a cage and bring him to you?

Someday we must go to eat at Long John Silver's and we can have CHIPS. There are several restaurants in Tampa that serve fish and chips. The British and Irish put vinegar on their chips instead of ketchup. I think you like potato chips with vinegar flavor.

Tell Mom and Dad "Hi" for us.

What would you like for lunch?

Today we ate at a restaurant in Blarney, Ireland. Grandmother and I split a ham and cheese sandwich. I noticed on the board that the restaurant had a Kid's Menu. What would you order? I know you like chicken nuggets, but what are CHIPS?

Chips are not what you may be thinking. In England and Ireland the terms chips is used for what we call french fries. Check chips in your dictionary to see if it mentions that.

There was a local fair in the Blarney Woolen Mill parking lot. Grandmother bought some fudge.

She also found some nice things for you.

Call and leave us a message sometime. We love you. Tell Mom and Dad hi for us. We hope you are having a good week at school.

Love,
Granddad

Leprehauns for Drew

Grandmother located some LEPRECHAUNS for you at Glendalough (pronounced GLENDA LOCK) in County Wicklow, Ireland. We thought you would like it. So, we bought it for you.

Tonight we are in Waterford, Ireland. We love you. Tell Mom and Dad hi for us.

Your Dad and Uncle Ferrell in Washington, D.C.

Here is an old picture I made of your Dad and Uncle Ferrell in Washington, D.C., in 1974.

 Would you like to go to Washington?

Our Funny Balls

These are the balls we play with in the pool. When I saw the sun shining through them I decided to make a picture. Then I thought of something funny. When a group of friends get together, there is always an odd ball. Ask Mom or Dad to explain this.
