Meaning behind my Blog Name... Four Leaf Clovers...
I'm Irish. I'm a Fitzgerald. I believe in luck when you find these amazing little things. Of course, I have yet to find more than one... But my 12 year old cousin has found just about a million! But my only desire is to go to Ireland. I want to do the "touristy" thing and hang upside-down and kiss that nasty Blarney Stone. I want to go to the Counties Kerry, Kildare, Galway, Cork and especially Dublin. I want to see the country side and amazing scenery. I want to see the castles. Ugh. I get goosebumps whenever I think about it.
Most of all, I want to see where my great-great grandmother lived and grew up. She's the reason we are in America. Before she died, my great-grandmother wrote her mothers story. I'm trying to find the time to take her written story and type it out to keep. It's pretty much along the lines of her being a mail order bride to an Irishman who immigrated to America. It's a pretty fun story.
