I'm sure you'll agree that Scotland is beautiful, and there is no place on earth quite like it. I'd return in a heartbeat.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930730661273079224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-13016081253165437252010-08-24T22:21:21.441-04:002010-08-24T22:21:21.441-04:00Oh no, Lee.

I can't imagine anything more terrifying than a forest fire and living in the El Dorado Forest I am fully aware of how quickly they can be on you.<br /><br />You definitely live in a beautiful area. Keeping my fingers crossed you and yours stay safe and that the firefighters can put out the blaze quickly.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-30433707483937873692010-08-24T22:14:16.886-04:002010-08-24T22:14:16.886-04:00Funny you should blog about this today.

I took pictures of the area around where I live, rich with old California lore..I've been to Scotland also, but have no desire to write about the heroes and heroines who lived there. There is plenty of authors, doing that for me. Like you, I'd rather write about home, here in California and history that sings like a treasure trove of tales. Unfortunately the pictures on the blog were taken not long ago in area of Mt. Diablo now engulfed in a wild fire.Lee Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129905865561311106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-88679101325196952062010-08-24T18:52:44.770-04:002010-08-24T18:52:44.770-04:00Thanks Anne-Marie.

We actually found the DVD in the B&B we stayed at and watched it. Scotland is one of the most breathtaking places I have ever visited. My Mom's side of the family came from there and I think every Scottish gene I have surfaced while we visited. I so hope that you do get to visit.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-11077926972643185972010-08-24T16:24:37.871-04:002010-08-24T16:24:37.871-04:00As a Scot I caan't agree more, there is a magi...As a Scot I caan't agree more, there is a magic about the place that sooths the heart.
