Smiling Irish Eyes

All weekend, the Connecticut Clan O’Donnell has been playing Gaelic football at Gaelic Park way the heck down on the South Side. Today, their team won the Continental Championship for ages 8 and under. And we were so happy to be cheering on the sidelines!

Gaelic Football looks like the most fun game ever. I’m sure there are rules, but it looks like a game that a bunch of little kids with a big yard and a ball just made up. Run, bounce, kick, throw, dive, grab, fight, dirt, sweat, SCORE! No timeouts, and definitely no tears.

So congratulations, wee lads and lassie. And sweet dreams in the truck tonight, as your very tired but proud parents ferry you and your trophy home.

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!
