Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 3027	O My such kindness.. I was born in 1946 so this year will be a special birthday.. Married with a daughter and son...Both as yet single and darlings. Love my country my church and my garden........ I write poetry and try to capture moments and experiences.I like reading and so admire those boomers who are in print... My working background was in education I miss being in the hub of a school/college but hold dear my new life as a home person...doing things at a slower pace.sometimes.so anyone do contact me for a chat..we will discover similar thoughts I am sure. Love from Scotland. Ash...

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Mountain, you're one of the boomers that turns 60 this year. Woohoo! It seems to be the big news for the past few weeks. I don't know what all the hype is. We're as young as we feel.

NHJackie Member Registered: 09/22/05 Posts: 868 Loc: Merrimack, NH	Mountain, You and I have much in common. I will also turn 60 this year, am retired from teaching and have a wonderful son and daughter who are both still single. I've always wanted to visit Scotland, but haven't managed to get there yet. Maybe someday.

Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 3027	I am so glad I posted again and to those boomer sisters be assured that anyone who gets as far as Edinburgh....I will meet you in a tea room and say hello in person. My impression is that we are being through the net being allowed a chance to revisit the girls we were(and I know she is within us all) Today is a special day in Scotland Robert Burns Birthday is celebrated by Burn's Suppers He is our national poet..every time you sing Auld Lang Syne..you sing his words... At these suppers a format of toasts are followed by songs and poems The meal is of. Haggis Potatoes and Turnip(neeps) and a whiskey toast to The Lassies ...Rabbie was some man..... Has anyone heard of this....? Ash

yepthatsme2 Member Registered: 08/08/05 Posts: 816 Loc: Fredericksburg, Va.	So...will you be having Burn's supper today? Oh...no neeps for me. But, I'll take an extra helping of potatoes. The tea room will give me something to dream of...how nice. I would love to travel to Scotland.

Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 3027	Neeps are turnips.preferably .swede mashed Haggis...oatmeal minced liver offal and onion boiled in a sheeps stomach,,NO KIDDING Scotland had many poor people despite castles and palaces in the past... There is a Burns poem To A Haggis recited by the host. it is central to a Burns supper. A piper pipes in before the woman(Poosie Nancy) who carries the cooked haggis in to clapping from the guests. A dagger is plunged into the Haggis... Fables about haggis being a bird circulate but my version is correct. No ..supper for me. I cooked haddock tonight.However my daughter is attending the supper at her place of work.
