Cheese, Coffee & Rugs, Oh My

It's a very dreary day in Ireland. Getting a slow start this morning (as usual) and getting ready to go to work. That's right, I have a "job". We have been going into town every Saturday for the market and befriended the owner of a lovely cheese shop that happens to serve the best coffee in Ireland (according to Blayne, and we know he's a coffee snob). Blayne has played music with her regular musician on Saturdays and we dropped by last Friday to see if she needed a hand, and she did. So Saturday I worked 8am to 2pm selling cheese in the stall just outside her shop in the market. Do I know anything about cheese? Well, I do now ;0) It is very fun to work the market; so many people meandering from stall to stall getting homade pastries, breads, farm fresh veggies, and of course yummy cheese. The shop owner, Mary, is selling rugs for the holidays so I've agreed to open her shop 3 hours a day during the week (she's usually just open Fri. and Sat.) in the hope of selling more of the rugs. So, there you have it. Blayne and I will also be doing some Christmas music in the shop on this Saturday. We'll take some pics and get them up for you to see what it's like.

Hope that you're all having a wonderful time preparing for Christmas. Saw pics from the downtown Christmas Party in Greeley. Looked so very fun - wish we could have been there! We're still not exactly sure how we'll be celebrating, but we've got a few things planned. Gotta get going. Just wanted to share the news. Lots of love to you all!

i don't know how the irish government works, but i don't recall you getting a job visa to work in ireland, so does that mean you are being paid under the table? deborah, you can come clean with us if you are actually working the street corner, not really in a little booth and not really selling cheese. you can tell us, we won't judge you! :)

so what are you going to do with your extra cheese (slang for cash money)? HAHAHAHA

Hey Deb -- the cheese shop sounds wonderful. Have you found anyone who grinds their own wheat to make you bread? We eat bread and cheese almost every day, and I've started to try to branch out and buy stinky cheese with funny names that I might not have tried before. Any suggestions that we might be able to find in Greeley?

Love,
Joanna
