Sssiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh...... What's the blessing again, I saw it hung above a threshold in western Ireland, d-by-w please correct, it was beautiful.

May all you meet be your friends
And if any not be your friend, may God turn their hearts
And if He canna turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles
So you'll know them by theor limping.

I wish you all the happiest in your new home. May both Mother Nature and Lady Luck smile upon thee and thine, and keep Coyote at bay.

Congratulations, DbW, that is wonderful!

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

All the best,

kat
