unt Hazel smiles at all she meets, and everyone loves her and her sweet disposition. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and would help anyone who needed help. She began thinking about her trip to Ireland. She decided she needed to go shopping. She researched what the weather would be like in Ireland. She knew, for sure, comfortable shoes were needed for all the walking they would surely do while site seeing. She couldn’t wait until that special day when they left for another country.

Aunt Hazel couldn’t believe that many of her nieces wanted to go with her to Ireland. She sure didn’t want to go by herself and was happy her two daughters wanted to go. She knew they would all have a good time. Aunt Hazel prayed every night for a safe trip. She never would forgive herself if something bad happened to one of the nieces.

The happy traveler was sitting on ready. All she had to do was pack and wait patiently for the grand day of their exciting trip. Their aunt had one little concern about the trip. She had much rather go on their little vacation in a car, but she would give the airplane a try this time. She wanted to see everything from the castles to the beautiful green grass in the fields. She was told that in the countryside she would see old farmhouses that were still in the business of holding a large family. They were all unique in their own special way.

Carbo wasn’t going to let the others talk her out of staying in a castle, at least, for one night, so she made a reservation to stay in a castle in the country. That excited everyone. They started talking all at once about how exciting this trip was going to be. They laughed and laughed having a good time just thinking about all they would see in this lovely country.

Aunt Hazel smiled every day for what she was going to do with her amiable nieces. She couldn’t really believe she was getting to go to a country so far away from home. She had never been that far away from home before, but she knew she would be in good company. They would take care of each other.
