OUT AND ABOUT
Well can you believe it, this is the last weekend of July as I e mail my few bits for the newsletter. August is upon us and you know what that means, the going back to school for the kids. And its such a pity the weather hasn’t really been what one would call Summer to .However we shouldn’t complain as I’ve heard many who went on a sun holiday found the temperatures too hot and were constantly looking for the shade. I suppose we can’t be pleased but you know what we haven’t it too bad at all.
Anyway, to get away from the weather, hopefully all the Grandparents in the locality and beyond had a very Happy Grandparents Day on Sunday . We all, I know, have very special memories of our own grandparents very different from the Grandparents of today’s world. Grandparents nowadays are busy helping out with taking care of their Grandkids as the parents have to go out to work and are busy driving them to their various activities ,and collecting them from school etc . We’ on the other hand’ remember our Grandparents for their lovely baking , the old stories they told us about the Banshee, and the Piseogs which enthralled us I can tell you and even though they had little they left us wonderful fun-filled memories.
Sincere sympathy is extended to Tommy, Cathy and Eiblish on the passing of their mother Peg Woulfe of Gortnagross during the past week .Many came to pay their last respects at the family home on Thursday evening last . Requiem Mass was concelebrated on Friday with burial to Holy Cross afterwards .Sympathy also to relatives and many friends also. May the light of Heaven be hers.
A huge crowd attended the graveyard Mass on Tuesday evening last at Holy Cross concelebrated by Canon Tony Mullins and Fr. Willie Russell to remember all those who were laid to rest there .On August 15th., Templeathea cemetery will have the special graveyard Mass at the Blessed Well , this being the Assumption Feast Day, all welcome.
The Olympics are in full blast at the moment with some great athletes showing their talents. The Irish no doubt will perform well hopefully and bring some medals back to our little Island, we live in hope. A great game of badminton ensued the other night and the speed of the shuttle cock and agility of the young Dublin player was unreal. Hope he makes it to the medals.
