7 of 60 - Blarney Stone, Shamrock, Texas

 

In the teeny tiny town of Shamrock, Texas, is a piece of the Blarney Stone. Yes, the real Blarney Stone from the Blarney Castle in Ireland. Since my family is Irish, I’ve heard Irish Folklore most of my life – including about the “Luck of the Irish” and “Kissing the Blarney Stone”. 

When in Rome ... or at least in Shamrock, Texas. I figured -- what the heck, right?!?!? Besides, it's been quite a while since any kissing of any type has happened in my life -- so I decided I should probably stay in practice. Just in case.

I can’t say that my luck has changed, but maybe the Blarney-Stone-specific promised “gift of eloquent speech” might find its way to me. I’d even settle for the gift of eloquent blogging.
