Home



Ah, home...a haven with pink flamingos and good coffee!

Seeing our stuff again is great...
but seeing our loved ones is even better.

Hi, Sweetie!
Yeah, it was wicked hard to Skype what with the time difference and all.
Wild parties? Sorry the kids kept you up!

Hey, where did you two come from? ... and what are you lookin' at (or would be lookin' at if you had eyes)?
Don't be a baby...of course we missed you!

Wait, what the...???
What do you mean your name is Ben?

You're Tucker?  I'M Tucker!


I've heard of things like this. This is some kind of spell or something.
Still, at home, we can finally relax.

A Miracle Worker & Bad Pick-Up Lines

So, my brother Ben here is wondering whether there are any more like you at home.

Please Mister, help us solve our terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad travel problem.  (Note: this is a clever reference to a children's book.)
(type type type type type type type type)
You fixed it? Really?? You are the smartest, best, and nicest travel helper in all of Ireland!!

You know, they say that Golden Retrievers and Irish Setters make cute puppies.

Hangin' Around Cow's Lane

Are you my mother? (Note: to get this clever allusion, you must view the blog entry "It's a Wonderful Dog's Life with apologies to Frank" and the children's book of the same name.)

Ben, maybe we could use this to train our humans...

Look, if you are going to be on this blog, you need to learn to emote.  You seem so...wooden.

Tucker, does this collar make me look fat?

Stargazing behind Smock Alley Theatre...

The Queen of Tarts

We couldn't leave Dublin without a visit.

Maybe something deliciously savory like Courgette and Almond Soup or Smoked Salmon, Basil, and Ginger Tart...

...or maybe...

...a little something...

SWEET!
Did you say Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble?

We think we're in love.
Oh, Jerry, why do you torture us?

You can be so cruel.

And a little tea would be so nice right now...

How we misjudged you!
Ahhhhhhh....


Goodbye to Christchurch

Goodbye, Four Courts...

Goodbye, St. Audoen's...

Goodbye, St. Michan's...

Goodbye, St. Michael's...

Goodbye, Christchurch...
Go raibh míle maith agat, Mr. Staycity!

Last Evening in Town

Our favorite.

Hangin' around Dublin Castle

Oh, Veronica.

You never were.


Hello, Dean Swift!

Aha!


Another favorite!

Sorry, guys...nach bhfuil muid ag madraí freastal anseo.

May you marry in haste and repent at leisure.
