Charlie, my betrothed and I have known each other since I was 2 years old, our fathers worked together at the railroad in Cumberland. We have an old black and white picture of us at her 3rd birthday party.
Now that’s cool as all get out! Congratulations!

Congratulations to you on your engagement! My great uncle Rich never got married until he was 65 - they made it 30 years until he passed away. OH

Seriously, all good things to you both and congrats! It must be wonderful to have all that shared memory. Here’s to adding many more years to it!

A year ago today we were getting ready to fly across the big pond, from Reagan National to Boston to Dublin. Glad we did it when we did and what an epic time we had there. 🇮🇪🍀🍻🎉

I have been looking at pictures all day, it was amazing. We started in Dublin with tours of St. Patrick's and the Guinness factory at St. James Gate, then on to Kilkenny and Waterford, kissed the Blarney Stone, toured an island monastery (Innisfallen) outside of Killarney, had the best Irish coffees at Red Fox Inn, then on to Limerick and ended at Cabra Castle at Kingscourt (where I proposed). Not pictured are The Cliffs of Mohr, visiting a sheep farm, touring Galway and so much more. I took over 500 pictures! It was truly an amazing experience.

Great pictures John! ::tu:: Wouldn't mind seeing England & Ireland myself some day. Who knows, when my kids are all grown up, I might be able to afford it. :lol:

My soon to be better half is doing a daily post on her Facebook page with pictures and info from each day we were there. I don't do Facebook. 🤭

Here's the pocket knife I chose to accompany me in my travels around Ireland; a Case TB6139 Carhartt. I packed it in my checked bag, inside one of my hiking boots. It made the trip with no issues and has also been to Pensacola and Key West the same way.
