Kathy, this is a darling pic of you and Ryan..and all the other ones as well. I can't wait to go and visit the rest of them. The scene of the countryside could be anywhere in Ireland, they all have that, don't they? Beauty everywhere, friendly people, and the best brown bread I ever gobbled down. Did you notice they had chocolate stores in all small towns? You have to love that about them. Beer and chocolate. Yum! By the way, thanks for the pic of my castle...and just so we are all clear about the alligators, I only use them on weekends. I can't stand it when rumors start flying around. Geeish...

Welcome home, Lassie
