happy new year!

2 New Beings and a better "UNDERSTANDING!"

THE SHADOW KNOWS!!!!!!

CHRISTmas

It's that magical time of year once more!

When we un box the christmas stuff, put up the tree, and decorate with purty decorations

and lights, Oh what a purty sight.

We put up the manger with baby Jesus in it, 4 that is the real reason for this season!

It's this time of year that warms the heart, and the stomach, with too much good food!

A time for family , and friends together.

A spirit of good will and cheer.

Oh wouldn't it bee grand to have that spirit all the year!

And for the you who can't be with your loved one's this year,

May the memory of their love 4U wrap you up in a warm embrace!

MERRY CHRISTmas

PUTTING ON AIRSSSSSSSS

At the Festival, there were alot of Vendors there selling their wares , a person could drop a lot of money there. ;)

One of the Vendors had cookies for sale , and not just any cookies ! They were OLD World Cookies, A very nice Lady told us the story of the cookie and how they made them back then.

There was Cookie presses there too, and very good looking ones! We brought a few of the cookies and a booklet of the History and Folklore Of the (OLD WORLD COOKIE RECIPES)

it is a very cool little booket to read

here are some of the cookies that we got there,

they are called 17TH CENTURY ROSEWATER COOKIES

The enterainment was very good ,

but hands down the TULLINTRAIN PIPE BAND, was the best!

we talked with a Father and son from the band, and they were very nice to talk too.

They ask if we were going to stay for their next show at 3:00? So we did and was glad we did.

They asked all the people with Sept birthdays, to come up with them and they played Happy Bday to them., it made my DH's day, But I was out of film and didn't get a shot of it ! ;(

My Husband is of Irish descent, and I'm told that I'm of Welsh descent.

anyway , the Festival is a two day deal, Friday~Sat.

Friday is a Golf Tournament, then friday nite starts it off , with the Calling of the Clans and

the Gaelic Blessing. We havn't been to this let, maybe next year we can.

Saturday starts at 9:am and goes all day. They have a hold schedule of Events , from singers and Dancers, parade of the Tartans, a Formal Ceremony with a Pipe Band. there was the Highland games, workshops, Art ~Animals, Food, WE love some of the food , they had, fish~chips , Scones, Toad~in~the~hole, Scotcheggs, (were the ones that we liked the best)

and the Cookies were out of this world , and i will tell about them later

here are some pictures , I think are Central High School Kilties , and some of the pipe Band

some of the pictures are fuzzy and done for a reason as was some of the backs of the people

The first weekend of Sept. , for the last five out of six years , we have been going to the

Celtic Heritage Festival & Highland Games.

Held in Buffalo, Mo. They have Highland Games all over, but the one in Buffalo is the closes one to us!

anywho, we go to them for 2 reasons, one is that it lands on or around my husbands Bday, and the other is that I like to see the guys in their Kilts (skirts) ;) ( just kidding)!

But it is something that we like to do together. So over the next few days , I will post some

shots of our day. it rain on and off that day but it was a fun day!

hope ya enjoy them, and thanks for stopping by!

cool blog for ya to check out ! HEART TO HEART WITH HOLLEY http://holley.dayspring.com/
