Pixar's "BRAVE"

Feast your eyes on the newly unveiled artwork from Pixar's upcoming animated feature, "Brave".   I would not have known about this had it not been for an email from MOP friend, Sara, who I have been praising the better part of the day.   LOOK at this picture!  I can't take my eyes off it!!!

I am feeling a little "Meh" when I see that Reese Witherspoon is playing the lead character and can only hope girlfriend is brushing up on her Scots as I type.  COMMA HOWEVER - Kevin McKidd is doing a lead voice....as is Billy Connelly who has a tremendous Glasgow accent and will be playing a character named - wait for it - KING FERGUS. 

Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill

Just had to point out that the Arnold Palmer Invitational was just won by the first European - ever.  And where was that European from?  That would be Scotland.  Born in Glasgow - raised in Kirkintilloch.  OK - so he's largely US-based now...but guess what is name is?

Martin LAIRD!!  You canna MAKE this stuff UP! 

Congratulations to Martin Laird, y'all.  God bless the Scots!

Another Outlander Tattoo!

Ooooh this is getting fun!  Take a look at My Outlander Purgatory friend Kelly's Outlander tattoo!  Isn't it purdy?!

ARE YOU READY for the Outlander Tattoo?

Lassies and Lads...I give you...My Outlander Purgatory friend Stephanie's new Outlander tattoo.  (She couldn't fit the "s" in "prest"  but it's all good because the translation is still the same!)

Hangin' with the Scots - Video

Oh boy.  Tracey and I had a fun night out last night.  We went to Kearny (which is the Scottish capital of New Jersey) to see my friend Hugh (who I haven't seen in 20 years!)  Hugh is visiting from Scotland and was kind enough to humor us on camera.

Hangin' with the Scots

Tracey and I are out to dinner y'all...and planning on meeting my friend who is visiting from Scotland.

Tracey wants him to read lines from Outlander...LOL

Stay tuned...

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Just wanted to tell you all Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Tracey and I are half Irish - but as they say, "Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day!"

I am sitting here watching The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara (a St. Patrick's Day tradition) and highly recommend it.  It's full of romance, laughs and beautiful Ireland scenery.  What more could a girl want?
