the vacation look

Here are a few photos....

Our plan worked, we met up in Newark and climbed on the plane ... hold hands and stay together

Jane at the Old Parish Church in Govan, a visit to John McGregor and Annie Lang

How is this for 100 BP (British pounds) per night? but the rail station, the taxies, the food , the underground, the bus trip to Skye are all within a block. Wonderful A/C. The older travelers like their creature comforts, you understand.

Hogwarts anyone?

What is wrong with this picture? You will have to read the small print on the two buildings to understand this one

The Way We Were....... in 2003

"My bags are packed, I'm ready to go..." so sang John Denver years ago. Here are Jane and I on our Scotland trip 6 years ago:



"...leavin' on a jet plane..."
at Culloden battlefield near Inverness. Highlanders' lives changed forever after that battle in April 1745.

watching for Nessie at Loch Ness

Hail to the Chief Sir Malcolm! he is fabulous...

ready for a very formal banquet at Stirling Castle when we acknowledged Sir Malcolm MacGregor of MacGregor as our hereditary Chief.

Jane is preparing to do a "rubbing" of our ancestors' grave stone at Govan's Old Parish Church on the south side of the Clyde River in Glasgow

home again, home again, rigetty jig - LOL - no 50# limit on luggage in those days

I have a bunch more images, but let's start with these....

First pickin's

Let's see, Sunday night, a steak sounds good, I wonder if anything is ready in the garden?

The pumpkins, potatoes and squash act like they are on steroids.

Wow! Look at these...

Yummy - there are supper veggies....

Even the formerly sick-looking hollyhocks are blooming too..

And just in time for me to leave for Scotland -I better let the neighbors know :-) so they can come get some squash and tomatoes while I am gone.

When Pigs Fly.....

One of my favorite activities to do every summer is to go watch (and listen) to the hot air balloons launch at Provo's Freedom Festival every 4th of July. It was one of Gram's favorite too. So I bet you can tell already where this post is going...

Jane and I enjoyed pancakes.

And now I am off to Cokeville for more fun .....
