Good bye 4 now

We hit the road today back to Pennsylvania. The hardest part of living in Ireland is being so far from my mom. The reality is I've seen her more in the past year than in any of the past 30 years, due to two surgeries she went through and due to my visa application. But it's hard knowing that I couldn't get home quickly if I needed to.

In this picture, we tried to show the tree, but we both had to squat a bit. Mom made the curtains and she sent me home with a beautiful cowl scarf that she made. Unlike me, she has a wide range of domestic talents.
