the paper stop

is in the process of being renovated.  It began in Sept and currently they are working up where the roof used to be.  From one of the locals, this building has been vacant for the last 10 years.  The roof had holes in it and the floors were filled with tons of rubbish which they spent weeks removing and filling the skips.  I have no idea what this building will become but it is going to take a lot more time to finish the project.

saturday critters

This is Corky formerly know as Jim.  Met him in Donegal Town this past Tuesday.  Corky is a rescue dog and according to his human, has everyone wrapped around his paws. :)  Corky is part Cairn terrier and Pomeranian and very cute.

flowers

 saw these when I walked by the flower store.  I had lots of problems with blogger yesterday and couldn't acess a lot of blogs because the whole page wouldn't load.  I tried again last night and got some that worked but still others don't.

drain overflow

the little drain, on the left, doesn't work right so when there's heavy rain like we got last week, it backed up because it's on a slope.  As a result it leaks in to the takeaway business, floods it and leaves a huge puddle in front of his business.

Women's Christmas

traditionally a day when women have the day off and men did all the housework.  It's considered bad luck to take down the Christmas decorations until after January 6th.

snowing

a snowy morning in Glenties.  It snowed off and on all morning but by the end of the day, we had nothing.  The gridders were out doing their job preventing ice from gathering on the roads.
