Irish Dreams

Irish Dreams

I want to retire in Ireland and live out the rest of my days by the sea.

I found out that the type of harp I got for christmas is a Celtic (Irish) folk harp. I hold it in my lap while playing.
Its so much fun to play and easy to learn since I took piano when I was a kid, but the hardest part is getting down sharping the strings.
You have to flip these little levers at the top while playing..
I've become very interested in the Irish culture, I have no idea why really.
I'm pretty sure part of my heritage is Irish.
I recently snagged a *fantastic* book on Ireland!
Its a panoramic picture book of Ireland, and some of the constructions ancient/modern day Irish people have created are simply amazing! Lighthouses and buildings rising out of sheer rock! I plan on painting some of these images. The truly capture my imagination.

I have a couple of Celtic Myths/ Irish info books on my wishlish at amazon. I'll purchase them once I feel I can spare the change.
Looks like I'll have to get a new bookshelf soon though!
I'm surprised! I've already got three!!
~*~ Mental note to self: get mineral/geology book ;D


I feel so helpless at times when my friends tell me of these problems and I haven't got a quick answer. I know it will just take time to work things out, hence why my mind keeps turning things over long after conversations have ended.
