The Scott Family – Dundee, 1885 Read More »
Patricia Joan Scott (nee Stephen) June 10th, 1940 – May 16th, 2019 After battling many health issues over the past two years, my mom passed away. I have some blog readers that are acquainted with the family – although probably most of you may know already. She suffered an inoperable hemorrhagic stroke on Tuesday morning
David and I headed out for our “hike.” Now, being a hike and all meant that a backpack was needed. Probably a good thing I removed some of the heavier toys that David had added as he insisted on wearing his pack on his back the entire walk. As it was, the thing must have

It’s January the 10th. On January the 10th, 2001, my father passed away. I still have pains remembering it, and still to this day, wish my “auld man” was still around, to talk to, to get advice from, and just banter on together. He and I debated a lot. We didn’t always see eye to

It’s a silly Irish ditty, that my father sang to me. And even though I have a LOUSY singing voice, I’ve sung it to all my sons, as well. Thanks to technology in a Palm Zire 72, I was able to record my youngest wee fellow, singing along with me. You have to understand.. this

Elections. Philosophy. Politics. They all seem so far way right now. I’ve just returned from a 4 day “holiday” where I spent time with my three of my sons, my brother, his wife and daughter, and my “sort of” ex-wife. I can’t speak for all the other people concerned but I personally had a great
