Mary was an exceptional hostess! She welcomed us with a hug and made us feel like we were family from the minute we pulling in the driveway. She has a smile and a giggle that lights up the room. Her house was immaculate and her eye for tiny details made you feel like you belong there.
I loved waking up in the morning with the soft sounds coming from the baby lambs in the barn.
Mary's breakfast was a recipe passed down to her by her grandmother. You can't go to any restaurant to get the quality of food that Mary prepares for you.
I mentioned that my family came from the Bantry area and Mary made a few phone calls to her friends to find out if there were any homesteads near by. Then she drove us to both. I got chills just thinking that those could be homes of past family members. Mary did not have to do that, but that is an example of her hospitality and generosity.
I would make a trip back to Ireland just to see Mary again. Thank you Mary for being a high lite of our trip!
