Happy birthday to my mother, who turns 77 years old today.
We have flown from Hawaii to the Portland area to stay with Liesel's step-father and his wife in their lovely home.
Short today because so much to do. We return home soon when I will resume normal bloggery operations.
MR. T-SHIRT BLOGGER'S OFFICIAL HIATUS TEXT - Mr. T-shirt Blogger (that's me) is on vacation in Hawaii until October 9th. Blog posts may be simple and brief during this time, or there may be many Hawaii pictures and updates. No promises. It's vacation.
When My wife an I got married four years ago (as of 10/3), we never took a honeymoon. With our difficult work schedules, there has never been a good time to schedule a trip. Given recent life events, we threw out caution and welcomed chaos and uncertainty. Carpe Diem! So, off we go (or by the time you read this, there we are).
Today's shirt - My mother's ancestors came from Crieff, Scotland, also known as the Gateway to the Highlands. I have been to Crieff (back in 1986). Scotland may be the next trip I take with Liesel. For now, this is a good way to honor my mother on her birthday. I love you, Mom.
Description text from one site: "Crieff is a lovely holiday town in the heart of Perthshire with a good range of restaurants, banks and shops including 2 supermarkets, 3 art galleries and a good deli. Due to its central location, Crieff is a great base to explore central Scotland with its many tourist attractions including Drummond Castle Gardens, Famous Grouse Experience, Stirling Castle, Wallace Monument, etc.
Perth, Stirling, Edinburgh, St. Andrews and Glasgow are all within easy reach.
Outdoor pursuits include great walking, golf (golf clubs in flat), fishing, riding, canoeing and cycling."
