There Are Some Things You Don't Come Back From. Say Ye So, A Nighean?

     It has come to my attention, that I have not let you know about what I have been reading for over a month of Sundays. Let me just explain, that I have been to Scotland and back. Thank You N and P, for your guidance in my voyage. You always set my sail, in the right direction. Mo nighean dom, Mo chridhe.

  For the life of me, I do not know how the series, The Outlander books did not come to consume me, at an earlier time. I can only surmise that my children were front and center on my brain, or work. However, normally that has never stopped me from reading . Well, somehow I missed reading them, until now.

Over the summer, my girls asked me if I had seen The Outlanders on TV, and I shook my head no, when they leaped over the lunch table, to insist that I go binge watch, that afternoon. Which I most certainly did, after my entire family was called in, to help me download the series, or purchase it! ( I did not know we had that channel on the TV) ( or on my IPAD) A few hours later, I sat and watched, no pee breaks were had.

I then, screamed, this comes from a book, Kindle Store and eight books later, here I type.

Usually I like to read the books first, but this was fun to have a glimpse of the characters in my minds eye. I was invested before I turned a page.
   I feel sure, that most of the population has read these books, so I will just say, that I may start them over again. Historical fiction, and eight books, with a leading character that,( how can I say this??) wears Fraser plaid, extremely well. ( only my girls, know the rest!)

I have researched, The Highland Clans, colors and language. The history is amazing, and I thank god, I did not live back in those times, BUT.....
It was so hard for women, and people did not bathe enough!!, I had a hard time looking at even my Jamie with dirty hair! ( I know Natty, you told me, you were from France and that did not bother you so much!) ( I fell out laughing!)

This has been a grand experience with reading, television, and of course joy shared with friends. A perfect combination. I will leave you with some private words to ponder...
  An ni chi na big, 's e ni na big.
  Bidh an t-ubhal as fhearr air a mheangan as airde.
  De an t-ainm a th'ort.
  Sealbh math dhuit!
  Tha, began.
  Ta' tu' an-chroga
  Eist moran agus can beagun

  Take some time to read and enjoy, this wonderful day, I know I will!
