In Ireland the inevitable never happens and the unexpected constantly occurs.

Quote by:  John Pentland Mahaffy

     This is the quote that greeted us as we were about the enter The Auld Shebeen, Irish Pub and Tavern in Fairfax, VA.  It seemed as if the light hearted energy of this pub begins before you even enter.  On Saturday evening my husband and I took my son and his college roommate out for dinner to this very busy happy little pub.  We had a grand time.  Over the last four years, we had many lovely lunches and dinners with these fine young men.  Now that they are seniors and going on their separate ways to the next phases of their lives, these moments are even more precious to me.  How lucky we are to have family, friends, and music to celebrate life with!
