Update for the Summer in the shop

Hello to all and I hope you are having a great summer.

This will be the last post for awhile.

Starting next week 7/12/09 the shop will be open the following days and hours:

Sun. and Mon. 10am-5pm

Tues.and Weds. CLOSED

Thurs. 10am - 5pm

Fri. and Sat. 10am - 7pm closing sometime between 5pm and 7pm depending on how busy it is later in the day.

My son will be running the shop in my stead for the time whilst I am out of country.
Please stop by and help him know he's doing a great job. He's been helping me out for a few weeks now...and I'm proud and amazed at what a quick study he is, when it's come to learning the shop merchandise, prices, and how to help those who ask...how to trace their names to a Scot or Irish root.
One more great example of the fruit not falling far from the tree ...eh?

I'm leaving for Scotland on the 19th July, to do Book Launch Events and attend the World-wide All Clan Gathering in Edinburgh on the 25th & 26th July at Holyrood Park.

On the 27th July I will meet up with the Clan MacRae and head up Arthur's Seat to commemorate a MacRae Mutiny led by none other than my good friend Jimi McRae (aka Jimi the Piper). Then off to Sheriffmuir where a Jacobite Battle in Nov., 1715 took place.
I wrote briefly in the recently released book about this battle and it will be my first time to visit this battle site. What better way to experience this ...than to be among those descendants, from the Scottish warriors that took the field all those years ago....in an effort, to return their own chosen King back to the throne.

I will return to home on the 10th August....and barring any complications...
I plan to be at the Douglas County Scot Society Highland Games in Winston, Oregon
on 14th-16th. (Though depending on the severity of my jet-lag I may not arrive until the 15th.)

I will.... as many have asked me to ..."to kiss the very ground of Scotland" for you!

I will be in the shop for partial days until Sun. this week, ... then will take time to prepare for the trip.

All the Best to You and Those that care for You!
Linda
