Scotland to Utah
Our son, Jack, and his fiancé, Shelby married. With two weddings and chairing a charity event completed, whew, I went fishing.
Shelby and Jack planned a great wedding and had unScottish, warm and sunny, weather supporting it. Ninety or so people shared a weekend at Thirlestane Castle in the Scottish borderlands. There was a welcome party with lawn games Friday. Then we had golf, hiking and archery Saturday before the wedding. Post wedding there was a fine dinner in the castle ball room and raucous live music and dancing in the courtyard. The wedding ceremony itself had a Roddy the Piper play us into our seats and a welcoming officiant, Sandy, performed a wonderful warm humanist ceremony. We got to spend some quality time with Shelby’s marvelous family. Officially married, success!

With the events of July, August, and September over and Lori off to Germany with her sister Susie, I golfed and fished the balance of the month as a form of recovery. I stayed in Scotland a few days, then at home in Naperville and then out to northern Utah to finish out the month.
