Count me in, I need something fun in my life at the moment. But I am NOT eating any haggis! Between my neighbor practicing for the Olympic Stair Diving competition and breaking her leg and Clancy having intestinal issues, I'm not having a very good week.

Whew! This is what I get for multi-tasking....
Yes, Kathy
Remember that in Scotland, one could be married by the Blacksmith?
You can, even today, go to Gretna Green, as errant English couples did in days of yore (yore what?) and be married by a "blacksmith" It's like a wedding factory. All they need is an Elvis impersonator (Elvis in a kilt?)
We spoke to a piper there who said he had played for 23 weddings one Saturday in the summer

I'm planning to be there, and will need a bed. No editing projects to get in my way this time.
Cheers,
Kathy

Sorry folks- we are presenting our own Burns tribute in Newcastle Maine (7:30), also have to play a welding in the afternoon.
Have a great time- glad to see you are serving haggis. The Maine St Andrews folks are serving the traditional Italian meat balls.. (at noon on the 21st, should anyone ask)

Fred composed this "Ode to a Meatball" in response

Fie on your wee Italian balls!
It's nae that they are mickle sma',
But this menu's really aff th' wa'-
Gi' me a break!
Gin I should try tae eat it a'
My gut would ache!

Enjoy- Julia

Ah, my favorite Robert Burns song -- "Nine Inch Will Please a Lady."

Ate Stephanie Piro's wonderful haggis (piped in by Pat Boyle) last Saturday night at an early Burns' Night celebration (The Rabbie Burns Appreciation Society of Farmington, NH).

Tom and I will be on your doorstep on the 28th-- in need of a bed, of course.
