Scottie's Diary
Following is a link to the first of hopefully many intallments of Scottie's Diary. For many faithful years, Scottie produced RampantScotland.com's Scottish Snippets newsletter, from which he graciously allowed me to glean stories for this weekly feature here on my blog.
Health problems forced him to give it up last year, but luckily for us, he is feeling better and will now be sharing gems about living in Scotland! This week he shares his experience at the Heart of Scotland Air Show.

Miss you, Daddy
Photo: Copyright David Cation, posted with his kind permission.
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad

Lori Foster Readers & Authors Weekend!!
Woo hoo! One of my fave cons starts tomorrow, the annual Lori Foster Reader/Author Get Together in West Chester, Ohio. I hear it's going to be bigger and better than ever this year and I can't wait to go hang out with all my peeps.
If you're in the area, the book signing this coming Saturday (June 6) is open to the public from 2-4 p.m. in the main ballroom of the Cincinnati Marriott North. I'll be there signing books, and I hear it's okay to bring your own books from your collection for your favorite authors to sign.
Some of my Beyond the Veil blog buddies have put together a goodie basket that'll be raffled off for charity. Called the "Spellbinding Summer Reading" basket, it'll be stuffed with books (of course), TWO bottles of wine, a snazzy mug, some other small trinkets, and a hand-beaded bookmark. My musical genius friend Vaerna will be giving away free sample CDs of her fabulous electronica music.
Hope to see you there!
