Great Scot!



It's April. Spring has officially arrived.

Unfortunately, no one thought to mentioned that fact to New Hampshire. I took this picture today. There is the possibility of us getting another foot of snow over night. I've got to say, it's all very disheartening. My good friend Matt from around here informed me that New Hampshire only has three seasons. Summer, Winter and Mud. Sometimes they get four, but that only means that it's Summer, Mud, Winter and then Mud again.

I sure am looking forward to Mud season...

I have sad news to relay. Everyone's favourite Scotsman has officially returned to his motherland. He left today at 3:45 pm. However, we were able to send him off with a party the night before. There are some pictures and I really really quickly threw together a few video clips(I'm trying to say it's sloppy and don't expect much!)

We are all going to miss Dan very much but we are so blessed to have known such a man of God. I take comfort in knowing I'll see him again, we both share similar desires to fish in each others country, so of course we'll see each other again! I am really going to miss my fishing buddy, but I'll see if I can't pick it up again soon. Unfortunately there is too much snow at the moment...

We did all share a great evening with him that contained food, including an american version of haggis (sheep stomachs aren't exactly in abundance here...) we had a Scottish jig competition, a Dan impersonation session and some bag-pipe impressions, just to name a few things that went on.

But enough typing, on with the pictures!

    Dustin did you know that we have Scottish blood too! Your great great grandparents were born in Scotland, there last name was Skinner!
    That works out to be 1/8 Scottish for you Dustin! So you can claim the "S" in Scottish as your own?
    (eight letters in Scottish, get it?)

    Dustin! It's the tall dutch guy, aka Will. Many people mistake me for Scottish, seeing that I have red facial hair, almost red hair and green eyes, but it's not true, don't beleive them. They're filthy liars, I'm pure 100% dutch.
