No one can tell a story the way you do, Mary, except maybe your relatives and ancestors. Blessings on the memory men of the Cleggan Disaster and their families on this All Hallow's Eve.
I don't think I have any Irish ancestors, but I've always felt Irish in some way. This story, somehow, makes me feel even more Irish! Thank you Mary. This is just wonderful.
You tell the tale as though you were there, and as I listen, I feel as if I am, too. Thank you for keeping this tragic story alive.
Amazing on so many levels. I'm so thankful you were able to learn from Paddy!
Mary, this is beautifully haunting or hauntingly beautiful. The pictures are stunning. More! More! More!
Thank you, Betty! So happy you are enjoying these posts.
The bingo game I had in mind didn't work out. Everyone drinking but no one playing bingo. I will keep searching.
Perfect tale for the day.
Thanks, Claire. So happy to have your readership.

Thanks, Elizabeth. You spin quite a tale yourself!
What a sad, sad story. Thank you for your wonderful storytelling.
When I came to the end, I could smell salt water. In Iowa! Wonderful writing.
Thank you for reading these pieces, Denise.
Captivating! Thanks, Mary.
Fantastic storytelling.

Re bingo, that sounds like the American version—fools!
Yes, I love your stories of Ireland!
Are you ready for winter?
