A fresh look at why things happen … consistently contributing ideas and knowledge. Yes, we do look back and appreciate that change does happen and is great to have the change. I wonder what the Irish world would have been like if they had blogs to write their world?

Were it not for the potato famine I wouldn’t be married to my husband! His Rafter ancestors emigrated to the U.S. from Ireland in the mid-1800s.

Good point – were it not for the potato famine, I wouldn’t have been lucky enough to grow up in Canada. In fact, I might not even exist.
