A Bit from the New Year

On New Year’s Day, we took off on a little jaunt around the bay. I am not certain ‘bay’ is the proper name for it. These things come a bit harder to you, when you grow up 300 miles inland. At any rate, if you went by boat, Cove would only be a mile away. By car, skirting around the water is the way to go. Cove then pops up 15-20 minutes later.
Bert can not pass up the "highland" cow photo opp.

The handsome man himself

Jumping the puddles just up from the ocean

The ground is pretty saturated with water. (Check around his boot.)

The adventure begins

Crossing the fence is a piece of cake with these stairs. In Scotland, it is not possible to 'tresspass'. Even if you own the land, you do not have the legal right to keep people from walking arcoss it. Or something like that. There are probably exceptions.:)

Inside the Cove Cave was about the size of a large living room. They held Church services in here a 100+ years ago. It was more out of a neccecity for a warm sheltered place, rather than for persecution sake like much of Scotland's history.

Today, I am extremely thankful to the Lord for health. Not just for Bert and myself, but also for our families. Things come up so quickly. It is all too easy to take even big things like health for granted. If you are in good health at the moment, be thankful for it, but also do not forget to remember your friends, family, or neighbors who are going through more difficult times. There is little more comfort when you are not well, than to know that those who love you the most, are lifting your name to Him.

Great picturers. Oh I can't wait. What kind of shoes do we need? Amen on the health thing. Dad and I have been feeling puny the last few days and it does make you think.

Oh Kryna, this was a great post. I can hear the "squish" when you walk in the wet ground. Stay warm!
