Scotland was amazing! Can’t believe how fast the month went by.
We packed so much in, and are looking forward to sharing stories and photos. It is going to take us a wee bit to go through all the photos and choose the heroes.
We also need a few days to get over the jet-lag, unpack, do laundry, market, and spend some time with the kitties, who we have missed and who have missed us (I think).
But here is our Scotland trip by the numbers and a few fun photos for now.

Favorite Scottish proverb…
“Be happy while yer livin; for yer a long time deid.”
(Be happy while you’re living; for you’re a long time dead.”)
