Well, I had my dedicated Trick or Treaters come to visit last night. I’ve been so disappointed about Hurricane Melissa and our trip to Jamaica being cancelled, I didn’t get out my camera last night. But I did use my cell phone to “capture” all of my wonderful guests.

2013 was our once in a lifetime trip to Ireland. We stayed in Castles. Ashford Castle in Mayo was one of our stops. It was the inspiration for my husband’s favorite author Nora Roberts’ The Cousins O’Dwyer trilogy. My husband likes to tell everyone it’s where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were married. (not true) They did stay there. Here’s some of the pictures of famous people who stayed at Ashford Castle.
