Lot's to write.  The loss of my closest friend.  The joy of new friends from his magic.  I will add more.

Wow, I forgot all about this, a lot has changed over the last few years, new job, two rescue pups after Sandy crossed over to the rainbow bridge, lots of things, and looking through this, lots of memories....

Wow

Been a while since I have updated this, was a long hard winter, but things have settled in. Rough spring with mom's heart problems and emergency surgery, but she is mending. Have to get this updated with the new games season going on and what not, more soon!

Facebook

This is so frustrating, yesterday, I could not sign into facebook for 10 hours, becasue of maintainence, today, I sign in I have no email messages, no news feeds and no friends, even though I have alerts on my phone that says I have email....I am not having a good weekend....and now I can't even send messages.....

Kalamazoo Scottish Fesitval and Games

The weather was very Scottish like and very unlike Michigan in August. Crowds were smaller then last year. Pipping went well as did the athletics. This year was the Highland Coo competition as well, and I can say, the highland coo was very tasty on Friday night :) Pics from the event.

Beer Bottling weekend

Bottled the beer over the weekend that we made 3 weeks ago. Came out real good, another 30 days and it will be ready for drinking!

It was a good weekend, but very hot and sticky.

This coming weekend is the Scottish Highland Games and Festival in Kalamazoo.

Then the Renn Fest Highland Fling weekend.

Hot...

Been a couple of hot and sticky and wet days with some violent storms, we have been spared in this part of Michigan so far. And the week is going to continue to be hot and sticky......
