I was JUST going to ask you how a person could drive the car properly and help George pose for the picture at the same time! You're NOT riding in a car in AMERICA!!!! The steering wheel is on the OPPOSITE side! :brickwall :blush: Is it possible to be that much of a ditz!?!? :pQuote:

Looks as though George is having a grand time. Loved getting to see more of Ireland with you and George.
awesome pics, Niamh! but you are really cruel to post them, because they make me want to go to Ireland on the spot!
George's bed is cute!
Any word on Larry??
I was about to ask the same thing....
Hey everyone, Larry is enjoying the Ozark Mountains right now. He's spending some time in Little Rock at a meeting with Poppy but he'll be back tomorrow. He seems to be having a pretty good time hanging out with Motherhubbard's brood and checking out the chickens. He also seems to like Bud longnecks...I've been worried about him and Poppy out at the creek but they do get along well. I'll be posting pictures as soon as browneyedbailey gets the downloaded and sent to me. I hope to get Larry to B-Mental by St. Pat's day.
I'm sure B would love to have him by Paddys Day!
Cant wait to see the pics!
