When we moved to Dublin in 2012, we knew there would be a lot for us to figure out. Everything from learning a new banking system, to understanding how utilities operate, to figuring out where to buy various items you need (There are no mega-stores here and usually a... by bob | Aug 17, 2016 | Ministry & Mission
The Wilsons are not in Dublin. Thank you for stopping by our little corner of the internet. We are currently in the States and will return before the end of August. While we are gone the blog will be rather quiet…If you’re here because we’ve... by bob | Nov 21, 2013 | Ministry & Mission
Last week Liz and I began something we’d talked about for a while but had a difficult time getting started.

Liz, Méabh and I dropped off Erin and Brenna on Saturday and drove to the west coast of Ireland. It was the first time since we arrived here last summer that we’ve taken any time to get away…it was long over due. We were originally planning to stay for two... by bob | Mar 6, 2013 | Random & Craic

I have been a bit absent from my little corner of the interwebs lately. In the past three weeks we have, put our house up for sale, sold our house & bought a new one. As I’ve mentioned previously, Liz and I were planning on being here on South Hill at... by bob | Dec 18, 2009 | Random & Craic
Yesterday I wrote that my favorite Christmas movie was A Christmas Story. Staying with that theme, I was trying to think of my favorite Christmas present from when I was a kid. The best I could do was narrow it down to two presents…and actually...
