I lived on the East side but worked on the West and I loved to walk there early every morning. I met a sweet young man selling breakfasts from a cart and he had a very strong Irish accent. He was trying to earn enough money to get back there and we became great friends. I always knew when he was near because he played a flute when not selling his wares. He ALWAYS had a smile and especially the day that he told me he had saved enough and was going back to Ireland to marry his school girl friend ! Luckily I had a boyfriend of my own by then so could send him off with lots of luck !Goldendaze-Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11823572794470671309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-20436516368467151932021-05-06T17:06:25.474-05:002021-05-06T17:06:25.474-05:00Joey,
