    I’m amazed that i only gained 4 pounds. I ate everything! I met my step goal every day. Lots of stairs, especially in castles and lighthouses. We were overjoyed to see the doggos. They were happy to see us but had been well cared for. Now to get our sleep cycle shifted back 6 hours. I used to adjust to time changes more easily, but as i age, it seems to get harder to adjust.

    You did really well. All the walking helps. Kind of why lots of europeans do so well. Lots of people into sports and they walk everywhere!! What did you have to eat there? Your vacation time went fast on this end! I imagine it went faster for you!! Good to have you back! Roger does not seem to be doing so well. continuing prayers! <3

    I really feel for Roger. When i was hospitalized with sepsis it took everything out of me.

    In Ireland we had tea with cream at every meal. Apparently for dinner it is more common to have tea after, so the waitresses always asked “You want it NOW? My breakfast was scrambled eggs, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, chocolate crescent, and watermelon. Lunch was usually vegetable soup with brown bread. Dinners varied. Hamburger. Shepherds pie. Quiche. Steak one night...it was like leather. Baked chicken. We tried ever dessert! They do not sweeten their whipped cream...Em didn’t like that. One night I ordered a glass of Guiness. I only took a couple sips...they dillute it compared to the US recipe. I had one Bailey’s coffee which was beyond fabulous!!! At Bunratty castle? I had honey mead with dinner and really enjoyed that.
    At McDonald’s, I stopped a wanna be theif when he tried to steal my food...if I had thought about it, I’d have let him have it...but i was hungry and completely willing to fight him for it. My glare scared him and he ran away.

    I love Bailey's!! :) Sounds like you had quite a time! I am not so crazy about unsweetened whipped cream myself!! I would have been scared to death about that thief!! Was he just being mean, or was he hungry? That would seem unexpected to me!! You are certainly brave!!! <3

    I had a late B-day with my son and family Sat. I had a good time. Wish i could see them more often. Today was church. I stayed for guest lunch and small group. Just relaxed afterwards. I did not really get anthing done.. Guess I need to work on Monday! :D
    Glad you are home safe!!! :#

    The theif appeared to be a healthy weight. I’m really protective of my food so I didn’t think things through. I was ready to fight. 😬
    Glad that your birthday celebrations continue. My birthday is Tuesday, it rather snuck up on me.
    My job is stressful...and the pain is worse after returning from vacation. Oh well. 😕
