Why did you chance upon so many fellow Considines during your trip??

That's bizarre, almost like Twilight Zone.

Eileen, that area around the Cliffs of Moher (County Clare) is where the Considine clan originates. Patrick's great-grandfather lived not far from there.

Pat! Those photos are fabulous. One after another they're delightful. I expecially liked the one you took of Mom and Nattie with you in the mirror; and the windblown ones, why I can practically feel the wind.
And the shots at the Cliffs of Moher were extraordinary... you standing over Natalie looking down 1000 feet to the rocks below.... what in the world were you thinking? You could have tripped on your sister and fallen to your cold wet death dragging your sister behind you! Where was your mother while you children were playing at the edge like that? Are you crazy? Were you wearing your helmet, at least? My god, how many times have I told you not to play on the boulders and too near the cliff...... ooohhhhh, sorry, flashback rant occasioned by blood rushing from my head from my acrophobia...
