Comments on: The Cottage - Day 19 http://irishkc.com/the-cottage-day-19.htm Kansas City Irish Festivals, Music, Pubs, & Events by an Artist in Ireland Sat, 26 May 2012 14:14:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: eolai http://irishkc.com/the-cottage-day-19.htm#comment-209432 eolai Sat, 04 Oct 2008 11:10:21 +0000 http://irishkc.com/?p=3853#comment-209432 In reverse order: Spyder - September 11 is the anniversary of my return, though sometimes I count February 1 as the real date as that was when I brought Dog-dog to Ireland, and the months before then had mostly been spent travelling. Either way, yes, it does all seem so recent. Stephanie - Thank you. I found great company in the noise of the bees, and they're like beautiful exotic little teddy bears when they cling to the white-washed walls for warmth. There are far worse things to lose than money, time, and dreams though, so I suspect I'll survive. Kelly - Dog-dog loves people, loves company, and I was worried taking her to the cottage that she would be depressed for a time missing people (it happened when I took her to Wexford for the month of housepainting) so I put a lot of effort into her happiness at the cottage, especially in the first week, and it worked. I don't think whatever happens next can be as special, but maybe it might be drier. In reverse order:

The exploring. The conversations. The adventure of it all. And, we readers benefitting from your glorious word-paintings. (Sorry, I try to be a silver-lining type.) Please take care, Eolaí, and know we are all praying that the next place you land will be even more special (and drier).
