Sunny Skies Sleeps in the Morning blues: Monday, June 27th!

Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness. -Henrik Ibsen, playwright (1828-1906)




Hello All, I just realized Jaxon has an appointment at children's hospital for an allergy test on the 7th so we will have to come home on the 6th Instead of coming for the 4th would you have room if we came the 3rd instead?

Hello all, Well, we made it! We are safely ensconced in our hotel room fifty paces off the Royal Mile (behind the Tron Church). We left Aberdeen on Sunday, and made our way to Pitlochry. Went past Balmoral Castle, and visited Her Majesty's neighbors, Royal Lochnagar. Founder was definitely a canny Scot. When Queen Victoria moved in next door, he invited Prince Albert by for a tour of the distillery and a wee dram. The whole family came, and all sampled. Result - Royal Warrants from both Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. Then on to Braemar Castle for a wee look see. The road from there to Pitlochry was through some wild and barren mountains and even a ski resort. Stayed at a lovely place there, the Craigvack Hotel. The bar offered "lab tests" - a golden lab and a black lab checked you out. Went down the street to the Blair Athol distillery - very nice, the went to Victoria's Cafe for supper - great beef pie!
 

Today we went to the Edradour distillery a very pleasant place - and then on to Stirling. Saw the castle, the Wallace Monument, the university, and Bannockburn. Then on to the airport to return the car and a taxi ride into the city. Haggis for supper tonight!! Colin

These are great. Good clean humour, well most! Will send to my girls too, everyone bcc, since my girls will know which ones I really chuckled at!! Don't know if they know who Phyllis Diller was but I always enjoyed her one liners!! She was the queen of wild hair & skinny legs, like an adult Pippy long stocking but with crazy hair. Maggie
