Congratulations To Miss Ireland 2010

If any of the readers here were watching the Miss Universe Pageant, you saw Miss Ireland advance to the finals. How exciting that was to see!

There are some videos and features about her on the net and on You Tube.

I hope you will take the time to view them.

She was a strong contender, and I will look forward to see her participate in other forums in the days to come.

Below is a link to some of the activities that went on last evening.

Although she was not the final winner, her supporters were happy to see her make it this far!

Congratulations to Ms. Rozanna Purcell.

A Passion for Language and Connection

The Irish are everywhere as evidenced by a network of blogs at this site.

They have a wonderful gift for words and communication in English as well.

Who hasn't been enchanted by the Irish voice, inflection, accents, and their evident flair for language and communication? If I hadn't been more of a Francophile and Anglophile in the past, I would have researched them much earlier.

The Irish in history and tradition have so many wonderful things to offer. True, they are especially known for St. Pat's day and limericks and such, but why settle for what everybody knows? The Irish have a spectacular array of accolades that the uninitiated can discover.


If you would like to visit bloggers' pages or even odd sites on the net, here is
a chance.

You won't be disappointed.

For example, here is one with images from Galway.

Yes, even a photo at times (from the Irish) is synonymous to a thousand words.
