Hello, I am Mersea Ruane-Smith and I live in Norfolk, Va USA. I am 48 yrs into my life, have two sons from the first marriage (both boys are in their twenties), and am now married to my soulmate. We provide a foster home for a No-Kill Dog Rescue in our area and right now we have a little guy, Dylan Webster, who is an afghan/lab/? mix. I am an artist and I have a website to sell my work and greeting cards.
My mother's family is from Ireland and I have been trying to do a family search. I love Ireland, oh so beautiful and mystical. I am hoping that one day I will be able to visit there!
Hope to get to know y'all! (Sorry, I'm from the South, we talk funny! )
Welcome, Mersea!!! Don't worry at all, we are used to folks from the South and their way of talking (hi, sisA )... I hope to get to know you better; jump in here and look around, enjoy and make yourself a home!

Failte Mersea! Southerners don't talk funny. As a displaced southerner now living in Colorado that's music to my ears . gaberlunzie's right, just jump on in, You won't find a friendly bunch around!

Welcome Mersea, you go on with that southern accent, at least on here you won't need to be translated, we understand you, we're family now.....here in Texas we say Howdy, so there you go from one newbie to another.......HOOWDYY!
**THOUGH WITH MY ACCENT YOUR NAME SOUNDS FRENCH!***
Mersea, welcome. Trust me I know us northerners have been made fun of too for our accents. But we're all the same on here, so don't worry. Join in and I hope to see you around. Cheers

Hello Mersea and ANNHAM! And faìlte to Celtic Radio! I am from Virginia too, but the opposite end (I live in a little town called Wytheville). I am so glad that you ladies found your way to our little corner of the net! I don't thnk you'll find a nicer bunch of people anywhere on (or off!) the net! Probably because of all that Celtic blood in us! Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you from your posts!
And welcome home!
