When my daughter Meghan graduates HS we are planning a month long stay in Ireland--kind of as a last hurrah before she goes off to University. Ross Castle will definitely be on the list.<br /><br />As always, thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures and stories.Lisa Campbellhttp://www.lisamcampbell.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374520007124133700.post-84456527917606142222010-03-15T12:13:21.801-04:002010-03-15T12:13:21.801-04:00Hi Heather!

There's nothing like a changeable Irish sky, one minute grey and threatening, the next with the sun breaking through and a rainbow on the horizon. I know what you mean about wanting to go back again. On the day we left Ireland last summer, it rained, and I thought how appropriate that weather was, since I didn't want to leave. What a high it must have been to see your anthology in a bookstore there. I loved your story!Cynthia Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345425630343664622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374520007124133700.post-71431326043705668632010-03-09T22:09:08.762-05:002010-03-09T22:09:08.762-05:00Chassily, Nicole,and Donna, thanks for checking ou...Chassily, Nicole,and Donna, thanks for checking out the pix.
