Thanks to Bev for her beautiful and very funny inspirational piece for this week's challenge.The two images in my picture are from Flickr free and the background is by Madame Mim.
The quote is from an old Irish saying. I love old Irish sayings as my heritage is 100% Irish and the old people really did come up with such pearls of wisdom - some which didn't make a lick of sense and some that were funny and had a ring of truth.
...and this one has a real ring of truth, Marie. I love your puckish humour. That's SOME grandpa to live up to!
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with a real gem, Marie, great work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece and a wonderful saying.
ReplyDeleteI too come from an Irish background and often heard old saying
that were insightful and sometimes odd.
