Making Listowel Connections
Last week I brought you an email from Mitch McKenna is Australia . Mitch was researching his Mc Kenna family and their Listowel origins.
Then this happened. Martin Moore got in touch. Martin is in the process of research for his next book. It is a book about Kerry men who made a difference in Australia. One of the people he was researching was a Dr. Maurice McKenna, another of the clan. Mitch and Martin are now in touch and, from what I hear, Martin’s book will have some colourful stories about the Australian branch of the McKenna clan.

Some people have to work.
Teresa and Helena were enjoying the parade.
I met these friends stopping for a chat as I was on my way home.

A Good book
I love a book I can dip in and out of. Maybe that’s why I wrote two of them.
This is just such a book. I picked it up this week in the swap box at the library. Even for someone like me who is not particularly well up in GAA matters, I’m loving it.
The book is really well laid out. It tells the occasion first and then we get how the player remembers the great game. Above is Jimmy Deenihan’s memorable moment.

It’s the Little Things!
On Monday I was walking down Church Street when I spotted the little Easter chic I knitted for my friend, taking centre stage on her front window. It made my day.

A Fact
Female Orca whales keep their sons with them for life. Even when they occasionally leave to mate with females from another group, they always return to Mammy.
