Day Two - Freak Weather For Scotland; First Full Day without Rain for a Century

So I just previewed this, I hope you can make sense of the pictures and the comments, (all of you being Carole Jeanne and Fiona!)
Enjoy... these are precious moments in the history of Scotland. Just like pounding the english at Murrayfield; one day that may happen again; I only hope I live to see it...

Christine and Mark in action... wow...

You ever seen a 6"6 football player try and play a set of bagpipes made for a 3 year old? Really? The class ring must have had something to do with it, right? As part of our CD sales, Mark and Christine are tag teaming, hilarious...my words will not do it justice, we shall need a encore at the Corps during fellowship... oh my goodness!!!

I have no words Kathryn Rose

Brandon and Jason on the Gorgie Road

The gardens of Gorgie Road Park, bonnie init!

Katie, Mhairi and Joanna boom de ae!

So, after our delicious tea of Chinese carryout; we decided to take a wee donner, (walk, for all you english speaking sorts,) to the park. As we walk into the park, we notice to the east of us, is a small group of locals playing a game of football; (soccer.) Quickly, the natives noticed that we were all dressed alike, and called to us, "Ur you's fae New Jersey?" "Why yes," was our reply, " we are just taking our evening stroll to refresh our tired limbs before we sit down again to play a concert of magnificent brass-ness."
"Ocht aye," says the natives, " ye want to plae a gam' a' fitba?"
"No," I said, "for these people you see before your eyes, are not normal, they are American, they do not understand the intricacies of the magnificent game of Fitba!" At that, Major Alastair Bate rips of his jacket, and says, " I may look old, but don't let the gray hair fool you! I can still tear up a pitch as if I was Maridonna himself!"
Chip, not to be shown up, says, "Aye, what he said!"
Al and Chip were pummelled, 87-0; fair play to them, even with a broken collar bone, Al played on! (Osteoporosis is very common nowadays in people over 40.)

In the newsagent, Lindsay found 4 Chickenburgers in a can! Can you say, "Ritual fast?"

And by accident we brought Natasha Bate instead of Al...oopsie!

You classy boy...

I have Caryn's permission to publish this picture! Honest!


Cheryl, this one is for you! Your boy is well, even though he hadn't called you yet! Don't worry, I gave him a hard time about it! My mammie thinks he is a lovely wee boy; he bought a Scotland sweater and he came and showed her and asked her what she thought; she just thought he was lovely, and the sweater was nice too. He keeps asking about the haggis, but we haven't caught one yet! I'll get him to call.
