My Mom has Arrived

You probably have guessed that my mom had arrived by the silence.  We have been having a wonderful time showing her around.  It is fun to see something new but it is more fun to share it with someone.  I wonder if she is really seeing it all, as the kids want to rush her here and there to see their favorite things.

On Tuesday we took the airport shuttle to the Belfast International Airport to meet mom.  That was a little tricky gauging times to arrive on buses is still not that easy for me.  And there is always the added question of will the bus I am waiting for mysteriously be cancelled.  We did it though got to the airport with 10 minutes to spare.  The flight was of course delayed but only by 30 minutes. 

Ireland was showing her temperamental side.  For the 24 hrs before mom landed we were scheduled to receive the total amount of Septembers rain fall, 30 mm.  It was wet.  Thank goodness things were starting to taper off as we walked to the bus or we would have been soaked.

The return bus trip dropped us off in town a ways from our apartment.  When the rain started to pick up a bit I suggested we pop in and visit the beautiful St. Anne's Cathedral.  The kids and I had visited it early on  in our trip.  We were excited to hear the pipe organ being played on this tour.
