We went to the top of the Notre Dame at 11:45 today and heard the Carillon play, up close and personal. Lilly slept through most of it. I carried her up the gazillion small twisting dizzying steps to get there. No big deal. 

But I do love the views- I think they're my favorite in all of Paris. All those crazy gargoyles are sublime.

Lilly says

We're on the plane home and Lilly keeps shrieking "plane me!!!" and doing the happy shakes! And "ah eh aih-pane!!" (I'm in an airplane)"

Golf Lesson

The Links are called that in golf because it was the unusable land that linked the coastal farming land to the interior farm and cattle lands.

A Few Words on Scotland-aug 14

Scotland - Most significant about Scotland is how masculine yet gentle this land seems.  Of course, the prevalence of fishing, golfing and whiskey adds to the manliness of it - but the land itself: rugged and wild, almost unshaven... but is beautiful.  It's giant hills and cascading likes it's are covered in plush blankets of the softest grass I've ever felt.  It's no surprise that the sheep, hows and horses are often seeing laying down on their sides or backs: a sight rarely seen in Texas.  The moss covering the centuries old stone fences is sublime. It's gentle misting rains that are frequent are comfortable to walk in and let fall on your face.  The winding roads can occasionally meander into a cove of trees and suddenly you're deep in the middle of a forest with most covered tree trunks, light peeking through the treetops and lush ferns covering the ground.  This gloomy and grand country is at once cool and warmly inviting. Kind and comfortable.

Scottish Country Roads

If I close my eyes, I can still see the sides of the road and the views from drives in Angus. Much better than any of these pictures.

I sure hope that lasts for awhile.

York

Molly just shouted "Jackson! We're in OLD York!!"

Soundtrack to our Summer

We now have all words to all songs memorized. And although there are limits to how many times we'll repeat the album on any given day, it's playing a lot.

And honestly, it could have been a lot worse. And the message in many of the songs is inspiring and sweet - so we kind of lucked out on this one.

Even Lillian sings "nevah, nevah!"
