Hi everyone! This is my friend Joe. He is the one Tom and I are going to visit in Ireland. I have known Joe for about a year now. I have come to know his family of origin and his children and grandchildren and he has come to know my children and grandchildren as well. The words cead meile failte are pronounced kade meala faulta and it means..........
"A hundred thousand welcomes."
Joe has made me and my family feel welcome a hundred thousand different ways.
Thank you Joe! We will be seeing you soon up in the morning on Friday. Funny thing Joe. Up in the morning on Friday is what my dad always said to me when he was returning home from his travels each week.
The song that is playing is "The Spinning Wheel." It is the first Irish song Joe taught me. He sang what would be the chorus for me. Now, that was a treat!
