Looks like you had a wonderful trip! My father is a quarter Scottish and my parents took a month long genealogy trip there about 20 years ago and absolutely loved it. As an armchair fan of genealogy myself, this is a bucket list trip for me!

I will be 5 weeks post op for my reconstruction surgery from my breast cancer this coming Mon. According to my surgeon and her nurse practioner I'm super tough and a super healer. The first 2 weeks were a little rough and I still have a long ways to go towards complete recovery, but I feel pretty good. Being able to start working some from home has been great for my mental health. I was going stir crazy!

I read the CRAZY RICH ASIANS trilogy including CRAZY RICH ASIANS, CHINA RICH GIRLFRIEND, and RICH PEOPLE PROBLEMS by Kevin Kwan. I thoroughly enjoyed these books and then I watched the movie...loved it!

I also read PASSIONS IN DEATH by JD Robb. I love this author and would read absolutely anything she wrote!

I also read I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL by Natalie Sue. Imagine if all of the sudden at work you could see everyone's emails and other messages. Interesting premise and I liked the book but I didn't love it.

Last but not least, I just finished ON THE HUNT by Iris Johansen. I have been reading this author for 30 plus years....this book was good, but once again I didn't love it...and I had to push myself to finish it.

I live in a small town in southeast Nebraska with a population of around 7000 people. However, this weekend is our big Applejack festival and we usually get 40K plus visitors. There's a parade, the orchards are open, there are craft shows, a carnival, a car show, a fly in breakfast...I could go on and on. I will be staying at home this year unfortunately, but at least I don't have to deal with the crazy traffic...lol

Ach! Scotland!! Welcome back. You were missed!

I've always wanted to be able to travel through time, so instead, I write! I was just telling a friend yesterday that it's the perfect way to "try" new places, periods, and people without having the ability to actually do that.
