"I will stand here and beat this drum until you come dance with us!"



"OK!"



"Hooray! It worked!"



Peter Daldry plays a tune.

Proof of a splendid day.



Off to the Ceilidh .



A hearty meal. Thanks for cooking, Michael!

Looks like it was a great time!

Signs of Scottish hypoxia?

Oh my god, Kent, I'm going to have to kill you-that's a horrible picture of me! Nice nails though.

In this next picture, of course Panache is unperturbed-note my fist rapidly approaching Alan's face!

Panache seems unperturbed.

I have a few more pictures to post as soon as they finish uploading.

Be well,

Wonderful photos and report, I like the red hose as well, and have a pair myself, as red is an accent colour in many tartans I think they work wonderfully, you just need to know what to wear with them.

So, just a few pictures that my wonderful husband neglected to post.

W2F spent the night at our place before the games, in order to reduce his commute (and be well fed ). He found this lovely jacket on his most recent cycling-across-the-nation adventure. I'm assuming Panache didn't want to post this photo because he looks a little silly in it. Personally, I think that's a totally natural reaction to the jacket! Or maybe to the fact that he's wearing jeans? Psst, hey, you, wanna buy a watch?



Apparently, my husband also doesn't want to post pictures of me, um... encouraging..., our highland athletes.





But, I was their cheerleader after all!



We had a marvelous time. The weather was perfect (unlike the 105 degree weather in Pleasanton) and the day was finished off with a marvelous meal and Ceileidh. The kids ran themselves ragged and we used up most of the memory on our camera taking pictures of them. If we posted all of those it would take up pages and pages. It was really nice to visit the place we were married-oddly enough, I haven't been there since our wedding!

Be well,

Victoria has a couple to contribute, the best of which are these two, and not juat because I'm in them!... They are LARGE!

I have masses of video from the Athletics, I will post some as soon as I get if off the Mini DV tape and into imovie.

Be well,

Cool pic, work on the foot stomp as soon as you're pulled in. Your tailbone hits body so you know where you are. He wants you off-balance so go with it, foot goes down shin onto centre bone of foot. THEN, fist comes up.

Stomp brings him forward, taking blade away from throat. Fist only, drives him back forcing blade onto throat. Stomp and fist both.

I know you know this, it's hard not releasing all your powers when you're amongst friends, even ones that put an edge that close to you.

Be very well.

Great set of photo's, look like you all had a blast.
