Have a few days off. Katie, the barmaid at the Irish House celbrated her birthday this weekend. Her mother and a friend flew in from Dublin. Her mothers birthday as well, so we had them over to the house for some cake and a few drinks. Katie's mother Mave, proved to be a very pleasant lady and invited us back to Ireland as well as to vist her at her vacation house in Normandy, France early next month. Took everyone back to the Irish House. Apparantly mark felt a bit guilty about speaking harshly to Katie whlie her mother was there on Friday, and gave cake and champagne to the regulars gathered there at midnight. Turned out to be a very nice evening.
