Some of my customers know that I was to be a Mimi this past weekend. They also knew that the baby (Sebastian) had a pretty severe heart condition. I want to thank those that have prayed for my daughter and her son. Delivery was hard for her. She ended up having to have a c-section after being at the hospital a couple of days and pushing for 3.25 hours. She was so strong and brave and has a 8lb 7oz son. He was taken to NICU after the c-section last night and to Levine Hospital in Charlotte today. Emma and her husband will follow tomorrow. They are doing more tests to decide if his heart surgery will be immediate or in a few months. Please keep praying for them all. God has blessed her and Steven with a beautiful son and I trust he will watch over Sebastian whenever he has surgery. I am so proud of my daughter. She was and is, amazing.

The last day is Scotland we drove to Islander in St. Andrews to make Harris Tweed bags. Then we went into Edinburgh and spent the day enjoying the city. Not much to post but I hated not posting the last day. I hope some of you enjoy these posts but I do them in part for myself. It's kind of like an online diary. I have a terrible memory and I can look back on these and remember what wonderful days we had. I forgot some little things, like the fact that we got hailed on for 30 seconds or parked by another hiker who was also a juggler and he performed for us or that I also slipped a foot into a river and had to walk with one wet hiking boot. There are so many things I did not record because at the end of our days, I was exhausted. I am an explorer, not a lay on the beach kind of person and I know most would find my idea of a vacation, draining and miserable. Eryn and I love to go to new places, and find out of the way spots, hike to forgotten areas and meet all kinds of people. Funnily enough, we met a couple from Boone of one of the hiking trails. We met a photographer who is living one of my dreams (because I am also living one of my dreams) but she is very talented. Her istagram handle is wardwildlings if you want to check her out. Thank you to all who shared in our journey. I am always happy to be home but also sad to leave Scotland, part of my heart is always there. Of course the biggest part is here, which is why I even come home lol!!!

PS: The first 3 photos are Outlander filming locations in Falkland.

If you love the sheep, this post is for you. I ran into another nice farmer who let me shoot to my hearts content. This is going to be a short post because we have to get up early and drive a bit tomorrow and it is getting late. Anybody know what movie the island of trees is from? Just a few things so I will remember today....we at the same place 3 times because Eryn and I are picky. We ate the most absurdly American thing....they are often an all you can eat food, fifty cent a piece at a bar...can you guess? They were so yummy here. So yes, 3 times. But not at a bar or pub, actually in a restaurant. I also discovered Biscoff Cadbury eggs. We got stuck in a line of traffic near the Glenfinnan Viaduct because a truck going under a train bridge, hit the top of the bridge. Okay, gotta stick to short for now. Bye!

Oh! The dog at the store. He was waiting on his owner! People just walked in and out around him. He was so patient.
