A (little bit) Hoser wedding -- KatF (or should it now be KatE?), Thu, July 03 2008, 2:37:05
Hi all,

I have been very very poor at posting recently, but I still lurk religiously and I wanted to share some pics of my wedding which was in Inverary, a couple of weeks ago. We've ust got back from our camping (romantic eh?) honeymoon in the Highlands and I don't have all the photos yet, but here are some...

Kat

- I have to whine a little today!!! A bat got in our house, and was in overnight - we had to send it away to be tested for rabies (as I was informed when I called the dept. of ag). When I took it in to be tested, it was still alive, so they had to euthanize it - by freezing it. It got out of the freezer, and had to be re-euthanized *g*. Well, it's a holiday weekend here, so we won't get the results 'til Monday. I _don't_ think it had rabies, but am being precautionary. Still, it's a worry. So I went into work today (no one is there, so it's quiet and I could get stuff done). I forgot it's a holiday for the district today, and I set off the building alarm, and didn't have the code to turn it off. Police came, and I got chewed out by the head of the security for the district. Geez!! And we're getting concrete today for our shed project, and it's to rain. Ok. Whine over.

I prob got more done though...since I couldn't stop to talk on the phone! The very FIRST load of wash (our first NON coin laundry in 8 years!) the washer started spewing water...and still isn't fixed--Dh has been taking the clothes to work and stopping at the laundromat on the way home to wash (dryer still works!) Landlady is doing best she can...but it's a long weekend! :( (NT) -- Ceilidh, Thu, July 03 2008, 11:59:50

- Hi Lallybroch! Trying to regain my sanity! I got my Monday dilemmas taken care of. I got to work and found that someone had put stuff in my drying oven over the weekend and set it too hot... fire dept came at 5 am to put it out. Now oven is ruined... thanks for insurance, as it will be $2,700 to replace it! It is equipment I will need this fall for class. I am teaching the intensive 1 wk gifted ed class next week (8 kids 10-12 y.o.) and had to do some re-arranging for that too. Aaa! Now, today, I am having a bit of dizziness and nausea...not pregnant! Just a pinched nerve in the neck. : ( (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Tue, July 01 2008, 7:03:44

My other kittie Pumpkin was cowering in the other bedroom. The mouse would not leave the table top. Maybe it was the cracker crumbs (cough). My Dh finally had to grab it by the tail and 'relocate' it to my outside garden. I wish I had taken a picture of him carrying it hanging by its tail down the stairs.

Raffle to Benefit Desi's Kids -- Betsy Barefootspinner, Sun, June 29 2008, 11:11:23
Betsy BarefootspinnerOne of the events we have planned for the October Maine Gathering is a raffle with the proceeds to benefit Desi's Kids, the organization that LOL supports and is in honor of our Judie's son.

We will be raffling off many different things, and as many people will win as we have objects to raffle. I am looking for donations for the raffle. If you have anything, or can use your talents to make anything, that you'd like to donate, I'd be happy to accept whatever you have. *S* It can be anything... funny, fun, lovely, whatever.

As the date gets closer, I will also be offering raffle tickets here. You don't need to be in attendance to win. I will make sure that for those who are not here, they get whatever it is they've won. The object is just to have fun and raise money for a truly worthy cause.

Email address is in first reply.

CULLODEN WALK UPDATE -- LucyAnn, Sun, June 29 2008, 6:07:25
Hello All! I received a letter from the National Trust for Scotland this week with news of the Culloden Walkway. With the completion of the new Culloden Battlefield Memorial Project this past April, the Culloden Walk project is coming to an end - the last day to join is July 7th 2008. Over 1000 individuals stones have been placed in the walkway so far. NTS is still laying the stones in the walkway and hope to be finished by September 2008. They plan to add a walkway map to the NTS web site (www.nts.org.uk)in the future. Soon we'll be able virtually see the stones the Ladies of Lallybroch sponsored.

So...if anyone is traveling to Scotland after September and plans to visit Culloden, we'd love to see pictures.

Thanks to all who participated in the project!

(Note: Diana Gabaldon wrote about her trip to April dedication of the Culloden Visitor Center in her blog - Voyages of the Artemis.)

- "Decide to be married Day"....hmmmm. That's kind of how I survived this marriage. Hahahahahahaha. No, really....there have been many years that have been more of a challenge than I care to remember, and I tell my kids that everyday, when it was rough (and it was pretty rough there for awhile), I would get up in the morning and make the decision to stay married that day. Then I didn't have to go all day long worrying and wondering what to do. I could be upset, I could be unhappy, but I knew I was not leaving for THAT day. (I knew in my heart I NEVER would leave this Heart-of-Mine man, but when it's tough it takes tricks with oneself to keep going.) Yup, I do think for me, I decide EVERYDAY to be married. So far, it's been a good decision. *S* -- Betsy Barefootspinner, Fri, June 27 2008, 4:46:42
  - Great advice, I really need to do this right now. I love how you describe him as Heart-of-mine man, mine is the same, so I'm sticking it out.:) (NT) -- LisaW, Fri, June 27 2008, 7:26:27
