WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 10

[BubbaGrump]

I just noticed that Ken and Shannons little one is wearing her piglet bathing suit!

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Yeah, I got the outfit, but what's Robbie Burns night?

Robbie Burns is a Scottish Poet. Robbie Burns Night is celebrating his birthday on January 25th.

It is basically a second national holiday in Scotland.

There is a big feast and dance. During the meal there are several "formalities" that must be observed. And of course, Haggis is served.

There is the Welcoming speech by the host, followed by the Selkirk Grace and the bringing in the of Haggis (usually led by bagpipes). There is a speech given to the haggis then the supper begins. Then there are speeches to the monarchy, a speech to Burns and a speech to Lassies (which is usually quite comical) and then there is the reply to the speech to the Lassies (usually quite comical as well). A few more toasts and speeches and then it is ended with dancing.

We are going to one on Jan 23rd. I used to belong to the Sons of Scotland Benevolent Society so went to a few of them in the past.

They are usually good fun. This will be the first one that I have gone to that is family friendly so it will be the girls' first one. We thought it would be fun to go out for dinner and dancing as a family as that is a rare item up here. not many are family friendly.

I did find this one through google. Not sure if it is close to you or not.

That's what they've always done here, and still do as far as I know. I've never heard of schools having the day off for the inauguration.

I'll be sure to tape it for Tyler though. He was talking tonight about how excited he is. He's weird. I've never heard of a kid having a favorite president before, until Tyler. His favorite is Lincoln.

Oh, I TOTALLY agree that every presidential inauguration is living HISTORY! That is the best kind. Of course, I'll admit I am a History Buff from WAAAAAY back. I should have taught high school history instead of going into Laboratory Technology.

It would hold two "splits" though!!!

but that wouldn't last an entire game

Here's something funny. When we were at our friends' house tonight, when the mom was getting the kids ready to make playdough, she was trying to take the top off a new bottle of cooking oil. She was having trouble with it and Tyler said, "Give it to my mom. She can definitely do it because she's been working out!" She was trying soooo hard not to laugh! I assured her I was only using the treadmill, so I had no extra magical hand strength over her.

Yes, Holly, and I'll bet you got that bottle open, too!

 

[gaylean93]

Yeah, I got the outfit, but what's Robbie Burns night?

I was hoping you would ask

 

[Tink rules]

Ken, whose the favorite in this game?

What are you... our bookie????

Pardon me missy, but if the truth be known, I

1. Searched for less expensive car rentals for May
2. Made sure I had Sukie's SW frequent flyer number and added it to the May booking
3. Read a book
4. Researched the history of electric toasters
5. Took a brief nap

I have not yet sat down to watch TV. It's just 500 channels with nothing to watch anyway.

So... what about the toasters??? We had the one that went over the burner of the stove at the lake...

I don't know, I think with as much time as these QB's are getting, she could take the snap and still do this......

Ohhhh look... next years Xmas card picture...

Yes, the pool would be great for you......BTW....stretching would be the best thing for your "pain in the butt"! Go online and look for sciatica and you'll find some great ones to do in the pool.

MY pain in the butt???? Don't call Nan that!!!

but that wouldn't last an entire game

So take a time out and refresh those drinks

 

[gaylean93]

Yeah, I am trying to grow my hair shoulder length......but I keep "trimming". I have just let it go for the last 6 months......it's so hard to keep the scissors out of my hands!!! I go in the bathroom to "straighten" it up and next thing I know, there's hair all over the floor!

I know how you feel. You have to straighten it out and then it's gone. But I like it longer on you.

I just noticed that Ken and Shannons little one is wearing her piglet bathing suit!

LOL!! I never even noticed that before!! Both girls have the same swim suit.

 

[BubbaGrump]

but that wouldn't last an entire game

Doesn't have to last the whole game! The water boys could fill ya up about every 2 or 3 possessions!

 

[gaylean93]

have you tried it yet?

No but we should. It may be better for us on Friday night. I did look at it but who was I going to chat with.

 

[cquick]

It won't fit her by then

Thanks, M! That's right, it WON"T fit by summer.......but don't worry, I still have the sewing machine, I can take it in, or use pins to make it smaller.......I am looking forward to that already!!!!!!

 

[gaylean93]

Go with out you I know for a fact that you are the life of any party. What fun would it be with out you???

And no, no straws yet.

I have disappointed people ya know

 

[cquick]

Then

Now(ish)

Ok, I'm just being awkward!!! I almost had it cut to.
Not me!!

I like your hair the way it is now.......and you two take REALLY cute pictures........

 

[cquick]

I can't find a good one of my hair.

I think I like your hair straight. And didn't you have it about 3 inches shorter in one picture? Still long, but a little bit shorter.

 

[Tink rules]

LOL!! I never even noticed that before!! Both girls have the same swim suit.

And they are BOTH Cuties!!! (but we're kind of partial, now aren't we??? )

 

[gaylean93]

Nice try Ken...

Mine too... just turn it off and back on and it should print... sometime before next wednesday...

Ohhhhh Tag Fairy....


Every time I take a nap I considder it a gift to myself.

Kind of late to help me out with the Ken/Shannon thing. Now I'm in trouble.

Glad to know about the printer....we thought we didn't do something right.

Tag fairy doesn't catch me at my finest or it isn't rated G...who knows.

Take the gift. I'm not up all night like you

 

[gaylean93]

Gay, the grassyass amiga was for the answer to who was favored in this game

Didn't get it I'm blond you know.

 

[cquick]

The sciaticais a little better thanks, but I suspect it will flair today as it's starting the same. Just wish I knew what I did to avoid it.
Hey cute dress, it looks a bit like a Norweigian Bunad...here are a couple of cuties from Norway and one made right here in the USA...

\Stretching is the best thing for SCIATICA.......and extra calcium, magnesium and zinc.
