In May, I went away to California for a couple of weeks. At the beginning of August, Jeanne went to Spain for a yoga retreat. But before she left, she noticed this cute sign on a pole and took a free smile.
I definitely missed her while she was away, but I kept myself busy with playing games, taking First Date photos and building this!
I also bought a customized LEGO minifigure for Jeanne. I’ve since changed the hair on it, and I sometimes give her a different look, but the top is still the same.
When Jeanne returned from Spain, I delivered this to her at work, but I think she selfishly kept them all.
With Jeanne back in Ireland, we continued our summer of camping. She had heard that there was a Field of Dicks (Dick’s Field actually) in Ardmore, County Waterford, so we headed there first. Ardmore is a nice beach town with an ancient round tower.
The following week we went to Arklow, County Wicklow. It’s another beach town, but instead of a round tower it has a pyramid!
While Jeanne was away, I got to eat anything I wanted, and I wanted some Pulled Pork.
