Moved

I'm now blogging at: the Country Parson

Home

I'm back in Glencoe Alabama now. Michael came a visited the last week and helped me get my stuff back home. (He said the real reason he came was to get on the blog.) Here's some pictures. We visited the regular sites, he went to Stirling and got a tour of some smaller villages south of Glasgow.

Leftovers

I thought I would post some pictures that I've taken over the past few months. These were taken with my Palm so the quality isn't as good, they're just things that struck me when I was out without our camera.
These are:
a Picture of Edinburgh taken from Arthur's Seat
some pigeons on a frozen pond
and an old pub in Belfast

Been awfully quiet without Robin and Keelyn around. Fortunately I've had some more visitors to keep me company and I've been busy making arrangements to move back to the states and work on the American side of my research.
Michael Chesnut arrived just as Robin and Keelyn left, he stayed a few days before going on a whirlwind tour of Britain. Barry and Philip arrived yesterday. I was taking them around the campus and after a small shower we saw the most amazing double rainbow. It covered Kelvingrove park from one end to the other. The pictures turned out okay, but don't really show how vivid it was.
Before leaving Robin sent me out to take some pictures of the University and neighbourhood so here's a couple from the Uni. Cloisters and Wellington Church.

Ready for departure

Robin and Keelyn will be flying home tommorrow. They're packed and are ready to go. We've had our last trip to the park (we saw pipers practicing) and Keelyn's Sunday school class gave her a going away gift -- a copy of Grey Friar's Bobby.
Here's some picks of us around the neighbourhood. And one of Keelyn's favourite toys.

Heat Wave

We've had a nice week. It's in the low 70s today and beautiful. Sam and Patti are with us, they've visited the highlands and kept Keelyn today while Robin and I had a day out. Here's a picture of them in front of a mattress store. (They have a mattress store in Florence.) We went to the Burrell collection and out to dinner.

Weekend In

I've turned my doctoral upgrade paper in and have a big load off of me. Sam and Patti are here visiting us, they're on a tour of the highlands for the weekend. We had a quiet night in and played cards last night.
