Its been a very long time...lets catch up....

Greetings all,

Its been some time since I posted a new thread. I just wanted to catch up and let you know what has been going on with my rapidly changing life. Since all my Scottish activities have been put on ice, since 2019, I am just getting my head above water to start up enjoying the friendships and activities of the Scottish Community once again. So lets start of from the last time I posted: we lived in Northern Virginia on or about 2019, I cannot remember if I posted when we moved.

On May 1, 2019 we bought a house and moved to Kissimmee, FL. We got a beautiful house in a 55 plus community. We sold our house in 2017, rented an apartment in Virginia, getting ready to retire. Bought the house, and now as of 2 January 2021, I have retired after a combine year of Federal service, 51 years, with US Coast Guard, CIA, and DHS (US Customs and Boarder Protection). So all of this during the past two years, moving, remodeling, still working, and of course the Covid-19 has caused me to focus on getting our lives in some semblance of order. It was a very chaotic, expensive, and rather exhausting two years, but we did it. So we are settled in Kissimmee, love the area, love the weather, and transferred from the Donald Clan of Virginia (Mid Atlantic) to Central Florida. The Florida Donald Clan are just fantastic, made us feel like we arrived home. We attended the Central Florida Scottish Games January 2020, just before Covid shut everything down, it was great, also attended last weekend the Northeast Scottish Games, one day but a great time we had with the Donald Clan.

To ALL MY VIRGINIA FRIENDS and Donald Clansman/women: I send my best and we miss you, but are having a great time as the weather and the state are great, we love it here.

I hope to resume now visiting more often and contributing and learning more from this site. To all my old friends so happy to be back....CHEERS
