"You are Welcome Here"

Hello and welcome, there are six of us that reside in The Shire. My name is Ivy, my wife is Kim our children are Kristin, Jennifer,Ivy III. and Caitlyn. This page will grow as we grow and learn the intricacies and tricks to HTML. Therefore it is usually always under construction. I hope to bring some cool sites to visit and interesting things to do and see. Once again Welcome and thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to give me feed back on our pages. I have added a guestbook so if you would drop us a line via e-mail or sign our guestbook on what you think, pros and cons, advice and or suggestions it would be much appreciated, thanx. I am starting a section on the Celtic culture, beliefs and lore etc. I have started with a calendar, blessings and dieties. I am currently trying to do some research on my family history. My family came from Ireland, the counties of Galway and Kildare. If you are of Irish or Celtic descent check out the links farther down the page. If you are of Connolly or McCarriar descent please give me some information, you can email me at
I have started a page dedicated to the Connolly clan, its origins and history. It will take some time to gather and install everything but I think it will be worth it.
The Celtic Calendar and Dieties
Irish Proclamation of Independance
