I had fun looking up the new burials added to Scotlandspeople. I have 53 new Powrie burials which is quite a catch! Anyone hear new news on when Angus county wide burials will be available? I have not heard anything since the first "buzz" that they intended to computerize the burials. Mary in Oregon To my U.S. friends: Don't forget tomorrow is National Tartan Day! Show your tartan off smartly friends, you know I'll be all "decked out". I recently bought enough of my hubby's tartan (ancient Stewart of Appin) to make a full length skirt to match my long sash. Bruce may have "stuck me" with the German last name of Schacht, but he at least is Scottish descent on his Mum's side. His tartan is very close to my own McInnes, to make the transition easier. The ancient hunting McInnes is so lovely, I found it hard to want to "switch", but we exchanged tartan, when we exchanged rings. (I gave my McInnes tartan to my eldest daughter. We look very nice together, now that I match his kilt. Bruce gave her (Jameela) a Stewart Clan badge in the same ceremony. None of our four boys could make the trip to Fergus, Ontario for our 25th wedding anniversary, where we renewed our vows in my great grandparent's church. Two sons are firefighters and one's in the Coast Guard. Very hard to get the family together. Jeff (my eldest) started a non-profit which takes "old" refurbished fire equipment, and gives them to the rural fire departments, and just arranged to get two free ambulances for the rural town in Easter Oregon where he lives. Sorry to be so chatty, and off subject, but I'm very proud of the man he's become. Ben is in college but works in a forest fire "hot" crew that parachute into large forrest fires in the summer months. All three of my sisters children do the same. There's is the first generation of fire fighters, but my grandsons want to follow suit when they get older. With all four uncles in service, I'm sure at least one will follow.
