In Ireland she got tired one day and just wanted to stay at the B&B. I really think she just wanted to do some knitting with the nice elderly lady that ran the place. My mom is very hard of hearing ... so was the elderly lady ... you could hear the both of them sitting on the back porch there going "say again" ... "What" .. "huh" with big smiles on their faces .. She had a grand time and the two are still friends .. none of that email stuff, too impersonal .. the old letter exchange ... At least they now can understand each other
