deposit return centre
brand new and just built for Aldi outside their store in Donegal Town. Now people can return their bottles and cans for a refund. 25 cents for large bottles and cans, 15 cents for the smaller ones. This deposit return program began on February 1st. Most places elsewhere in the world have been doing this for decades. Better late then never, I guess. Another option is give your bottles and cans to Animals in Need which I think is great and the money goes towards food for the animals.

funny mistake
I was messing with my camera today and it decided to click off a photo. I heard it click but didn't see anything so I forgot about it. Saw it later when I downloaded it. :)

this patient dog was getting annoyed, he wanted to move along but his person had to keep on taking and did for 15 minutes. I bet he is expecting some treats for the delay. :)

bridge painting
on main street. They do this every year before the tourists flock to town. That house could also use a makeover too.

Doherty's corner store
The store will close its doors for the last time this Saturday 8th June after more than 80 years in the heart of the town.
The Fintan family said: “Unfortunately the era of the corner shop has long long passed but with every chapter that ends another begins so don’t take this as a bad thing but instead remember those fond memories that where created here in Fintan’s from listening to the jukebox while playing pool to getting your ice cream fix and sitting on the stool out front putting the world to rights.”
The family businesses began in the 1940s as a sweet and ice-cream shop and soon became a hangout spot for the youth of the town as they munched on a quarter of their favourite treats. Famous for its nostalgic features, including the original weighing scales, the shop also championed handcrafted local products.
The closure announcement said: “We would like to first of all thank all our staff over the years that gave you all a warm welcome as you came through the door, every single one of you was a pleasure to work with and a huge asset to the shop.
“We would also like to thank all our customers that has supported us over the past 80 + years, it has been an honour to get to know every single one of you.”
