Whiskey in the Jar

Last night my mother and I decided we were up and moving to Ireland. Actually this was our plan is McCain/Palin were to win, however, our boy won...and yet we still want to move. And given that Ireland's economy is the 2nd most in the shitter of western nations (Iceland taking 1st place), you can basically get a great deal on property in Ireland.

 

Here's the Millfall House in Castlecomer, co. Kilkenny. It's not big, actually, of the homes we found this is on the smaller side, however, it has stable space for 5 and 12 acres....so we're sold. In all truthfulness, I was actually more infatuated with the house in Tomastown which is right near Mount Juliet (for those not in the know - Mount Juliet has a GORGEOUS golf course and ridiculous manor that is straight out of a Jane Austen novel...except not in the Lake District of England, but whatever)...

Basically I'm pretty impressed with my persuasion skills - I convinced my mom in a matter of minutes that moving to Ireland for retirement was a great idea. I think in large part my infatuation with moving there has to do with my decision to not attend Trinity for college! I will ALWAYS regret having not gone there for university. Seriously, Dublin for 4 years....heaven...but alas, I decided to go to U of M. (A huge mistake in retrospect)

Now for photos...

And some whiskey in the jar to get me in the mood for St. Pattys
