Hi Peter,

Welcome back to the list. I had to write pmail because reading that you moved back to County Cork AND work for Apple. What a combo! (or I have it totally wrong and you work for VW.....) I've had Apples (since 1984?) and started as a tech for Creative Computers. Then ended up being the Manager of Operations before I moved back to the farm 3 years ago. I also trial sheepdogs. I'm so envious, I would love to be in Ireland right now. My Grandfather Michael J. Sullivan was from County Cork.

I signed up to the list in January. Katy (aka- Kathleen Elizabeth Margaret Mary O'Sullivan) Abbas from NE Iowa. We (my husband and 2 children) even have a list member friend, about an hour or so away from here, Chuck Hill. This list has been a great experience, knowledge and friendship rolled into one! Glad to hear of your adventures moving back to Ireland. I hope to visit again someday in the future and possibly pick up a couple of good Border Collies while I'm there. (I tell my husband I can't help it, its in my blood just like vanagons and Mercedes are in his) My husband and I have even discussed moving there, but wouldn't know the first thing about it.

Carry on and best of luck in getting settled!

Katy Abbas Legacy Farm NE Iowa (Frederika) Was 84 Westy-soon to come 89 Westy
