May Contain Nuts

One of the writers on our Scottish loop ran across this fantastic blog, May Contain Nuts. A Scottish poet and writer by the name of Michael Malone from Ayr, Scotland. I asked, where is Ayr? Here's the map. (I'm having trouble finding a bigger one.) Ayrshire is the parish in Scotland on the southwestern coast.


Nothing is sacred on his blog - parenting, travel, boobs...


As I've mentioned before, I love everything about Scotland. If it hadn't been for my husband, and it was touch and go then, I probably wouldn't hae come home from my trip there. I even got to sing the tavern closed in exchange for a bottle of Sheep Dip Scotch which sits on my sofa table to this day.

Ooops, slipped. Ach, but I loved Edinburgh, could hae slept in the streets in the drizzling rain.

The scenery looks beautiful.

So if you'd like to experience a little of Scotland, the language, the culture, visit Michael's blog and if you like fishing - looks like a great place for trout or salmon fishing.

If you'd like a taste of Michael's poetry, go here.
Enjoy!

Suzanne's Clover

I regularly visit Suzanne McMinn's blog, Chickens in the Road, and today's blog, Clover Takes a Trip had me rolling with laughter. The animals of West Virginia have so much personality. And I never knew goats liked home-made cookies so much!

Before she meets her intended, Clover has to suffer the affections of Admiral, a Great Pyrenees, and the family she left not long ago. And do without Momma Suzanne's treats.

Not such an ordinary life

Chickens in the Road blog

Ever visited a site or blog that just made you feel good. That's the reaction I had to Suzanne McMinn's blog, Chickens in the Road. If you've never visited her blog the sampler is a good place to start.

Suzanne writes for Harlequin - Silhouette Romantic Suspense. But I'd have never guessed that from her blog. She has a wonderful sense of humor and a great eye for photography (as well as Shakespeare speaking goats). The photography alone is worth seeing.

I think she's got this longing to be paparazzi. She practically stalked Nora at the RWA conference, but it's okay cause they're like THIS close and it was for a good cause (the nozy writers who read her blog wanted a glimpse of a writing goddess and Suzanne was in the neighborhood.)

I love it when she puts recipes on the blog with pictures!! Like the Pepperoni rolls. Nummy, they look good.

Today she celebrates the light at the end of the snow tunnel with Chocolate Mint Snow-top cookies.

If you'd like insight into her personality disorder read her hilarious blog Ornery Angel.
