Visitor Season has now closed. It began on June 19 when Brent’s parents arrived in England and ends today with Beth’s parents flying home from Glasgow. In between we hosted Julie, the Millers and S&P. In that time we saw York, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Moffat, Dublin, County Mayo, Ballina, Amsterdam, York, Derbyshire, York, Glasgow, Oban, Mull, Iona, every inch of Perthshire, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Today, we’ll try to gather our bearings, do our laundry, talk to some people, get ready for work tomorrow and prepare for the stretch drive. Oh, and we’ll try to tell you about what’s happened the last few weeks. Although, given the tendency of our bartender to overserve us, our memories may be a bit fuzzy.

The Idiossey - Definition
Odyssey n. An extended, adventurous wandering.
Idiocy n. 1. A condition of subnormal intellectual ability in the lowest measurable range. 2. Something extremely foolish or stupid.
Why would two people leave their loving families, fun friends, excellent careers, nice house, comfortable lives, familiar surroundings and the greatest country in the world to move to a city Charles Dickens referred to as the most disagreeable in England?
I direct you to the definition of Idiocy above.
But its not that simple. There were opportunities in England which were not available in The New World which we were compelled to pursue. So we did. Now we'll make every effort to see the best and worst of the lands of our ancestors while we also attempt to take the most advantage of the aforementioned opportunities.
I direct you to the definition of Odyssey above.
We hope that this blog will be a chronicle of our Idiossey and allow us stay close to those of you who will be missed by us.
