I've been musing over how much of Cally, Charlie, and Billy's quest is to find the place and people where they can feel safe. Where they can feel at home. A family to belong to. Really? Cally, sure.

Since we followed that advice, I don't know whether that happened, but we did get in on a bit of Kilkenny's … Continue reading A busy weekend in Ireland!
