And that has made all the difference.

Walking to New Orleans

This time I’m walkin’ to New Orleans
I’m walkin’ to New Orleans
I’m gonna need two pair-a shoes
When I get through walkin’ these blues
When I get back to New Orleans

Leprechauns – Ireland

So tired of snow it was scary
To Limerick I’ll go
With my husband in tow
And trade all this ice for a fairy.
