Today's poem comes right in time for a visit to Ireland with Higgins in the local news. "New names for old ways"<br /><br />I am an official Virginian now and getting familiar with the ride from Gainesville to Manassas. I found a road called Ox Road when my husband and I drove my son to Woodbridge for his J&J shot yesterday.
