I know it is a little early. Halloween is not until next Tuesday. But with so many towns and cities having events this weekend, I wanted to join in the fun. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.

Last Wednesday, I was at The Celt Irish Pub in McKinney Texas for lunch with my daughter, Dany. It was my first visit, but not hers, as she lives in McKinney. We had a wonderful time and I really enjoyed the Shepard’s pie. Being only a few days before St. Patty’s day, talk was about
