Oblivious to it All!!!


Amy Ryan from Coarsepark is seen here taking a nap on the 4th of November in America (Monroe New York), the day when Barak Obama became President Elect of the United States of America. She was visiting her relatives with her mum Lucia and sister Aoife on a part-time shopping trip! Despite the furore surrounding the news of Obama’s victory Amy sleeps on!

Aoife ‘Builds a Bear’!


Aoife Ryan from Coarsepark (sister of Amy) did a spot of shopping while State-side. She learned that you could buy the ingredients to ‘build a bear’ literally by stuffing it and fluffing it! The amazing thing about this bear (named Emily by Aoife) is that if she ever gets lost and is returned to any of the ‘build-a-bear’ shops it will immediately be returned to its rightful ‘parent’ Aoife thanks to a microchip inserted into the bears heart where all of Aoife’s details are stored. So if you find a bear resembling the one seen in these photos (supplied to us by the FBI) please go directly to Coarsepark and don’t be bothering yourself trying to find a ‘build-a-bear’ shop in you own locality!!! -There isn’t one!!! (also in photo is Aoife’s cousin Elizabeth and her sister Amy)
