Christmas at the Rover #ThursdayDoors

I met Jane at The Irish Rover for our monthly lunch and our Christmas gift exchange. I had the Celtic Craic and Guinness Beef Stew, so it was a pretty jolly get-together, all around.

Here’s kind of artsy-fartsy shot of the Rover’s front door with all Christmas decorations on.

So Merry Christmas and go to Norm Frampton’s Thursday Doors link-up and click on the blue frog button to see some actually good and interesting door photos.

A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Write about a gift exchange. Not the Gifts of the Magi. Enough with the watch and the hair, already.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    AND….There was a Charlie Brown Xmas tree on the counter, appropriately improvised from a sadly thin branch.

    Merry Christmas, pal!

    Merry Christmas, Marian! Is that Guinness Beef Stew a combined beer and beef stew dish or a Guinness and a beef stew; either way, Cheers!
    I remembered to add the “wordpress” to my website link 😉

      That’s beef stew made with Guinness. My beer was Celtic Craic, which was delicious and perfect with it! I’m looking forward to revisiting Florence with your blog post. OMG, I adored Florence!

      BTW, one of my Christmas gifts from one of my daughters was a big ol’ bottle of Dragon’s Milk bourbon-barrel-aged stout. We raised ’em right!
