Some quotes I find encouraging

Posted in Daily Musings at 9:18 am by Kim Joy

Go after what you really love and find find a way to make that work for you and then you’ll be a happy person.

Your success is in your hands.

The moment you stop saying “if” and start saying “when” is the moment your dreams become reality.

Do something creative every day.

“In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.”  Coco Chanel

You make what you make (if you don’t produce anything you can not make money).

Scottish Games in The Plains

Posted in Daily Musings at 10:58 pm by Kim Joy

Today we went to the Scottish Games in The Plains VA. Got htere pretty early and had good parking. Walked around the new layout, watched some of the games, the working dogs- Border Collies, walked through the Clans then went to Main Tent to see Glengarry Bhoys perform.

Lunch was Bridies, which were great. Watched more games and then the Glengarry Bhoys second set. Love this band. They have a new CD out, Eight. It was fun to have Ewan walk up to me taking photos during set, tried to keep up with him but could not focus fast enough. Then he ended up on the chair right there in front of me. D’Arcy changed from last year, his features matured quite a bit. Zig and Graham look the same. Ewan does not have the blonde highlights he did last fall.

D'Arcy Furniss, Zig Leroux, Grahma Wright and Ewan Brown
