…a few days ago we got an email from a gentleman who wanted to know if he could ‘stop by’ and pick up a few plates on the drive he and his wife were making from St. Augustine to St. Petersburg…apparently they were vacationing from Ireland (again!) and wanted to add to the collection of plates they have accumulated over the years from each state they pass through…so we met for coffee at the local Starbucks, me with plates in hand, and them with glorious smiles on their Irish faces!…and what a grand visit we had!!…Damian Bell is not only the CEO of McConnells Group Advertising in Dublin, he is also, like me, married to a woman who tolerates his new hobby as a ‘number plate novice’!…in spite of all the problems in the world these days, we had a lovely hour’s respite from them as we laughed and shared TMI…Damian shared a picture of his ‘shed’ in Ireland, adorned with recent travel trophies…to the Bells, 
 
 
May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
