Coming to Ireland is like coming to our second home. Our Northern Ireland cousins, Tony and Mary, met us in Dublin for the Vermeer show at the National Gallery and an excellent two-woman show titled “Post-Script” at the Abbey’s Peacock Theatre ( all arrangements credited to Mary). Then we spent two delicious days of cossetting by them in Derry. Tonight we are in Ballymote, County Sligo, Republic of Ireland, renewing our friendship with cousins Mary Therese and John Kerins and assorted bovine friends (see photo). In a few days, God willing, we’ll be home. Stay tuned for at least one more post.
