The Chistmas Visit home, 2006

Clare, my niece, finds here model pose in her home in Dublin.
My nephew, Ciuin, and my sister in law, Anne, celebrate the birthday of Rosa, a family friend.

My niece, Brid (right) and her friend, Rosa, on Rosa's birthday show off their beautiful, ok, patriotic, school uniforms.


 
I visited the grave of my parents a week before Christmas, 2006. I placed a letter to each of my parents in the wet, heavy clay.  Letters to the dead is not a specifically Irish tradition, but it intersects with the Celtic belief in the existence of "thin places" where the veil between the spirit world and this is lifted.
