Jacquie has left the island.....
The Legend which is know as Jacquie has departed Ireland to make her way back home to Johannesburg, South Africa. She has lived all over Ireland and Africa, but is looking forward to heading back to her husband's home town of Jo'burg 
where his parents have been living in their house. Jacquie was a fast friend of mine, since we are both foreigners, and she had the energy and creativity to match my intenseness. As I have said before she showed me the ropes of not only our own neighborhood, but also the rest of Dublin. We both have about the same amount of experience so I took over her work when she left since we are on the same team. So in about one week, she had to impart all her architectural knowledge to me since we were no longer in denial that she was leaving.
The weekend before she left, we had one last girls night out. We headed to Tullia's who lives in the heart of Temple Bar to dine on some South African food, drink some wine and just have the craic. She brought her mac laptop which has the most wonderful progra
m, Photobooth, that can manipulate photos, so she got a good and crazy picture with each of us. The gang was Catherine, Katherine, Tullia, Ruth, Claire, me, then Jacquie, Karen, Clementine and Edell in the hat. Here are just some of the samples from that night. It was great to all hang out together one last time, and it was a happy time with no tears.
Since Ben and I just got here and have nothing, and Jacquie and Phillip and wanting to leave with nothing, we did inherit some of their things, so with Africa now hanging on my wall, there will always be a piece of Jacquie here.
