Wordless Wednesday

Molly Malone
Dublin

...as she wheeled her wheelbarrow

through streets broad and narrow

crying 'cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh!'

alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh!

crying 'cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh!'

Hi Mary - I remember that song! By the way, happy birthday. Sorry I missed your online party. I was away over the holiday weekend. Hope you had a good time, with many more to follow (good times and birthdays!).

When we were in Dublin I posed for a photograph with sweet Molly and just had to sing the song! Well you can't not, can you? :)

Hey Mary, you have 'taught' me once more! Thank you much.
Are you aware that June 13 is International Molly Malone Day?

We have been to Dublin a couple of times but those times I didn't know to look for her statue. I probably walked right by it (not really, I would have stopped, admired, and wondered).
