Things to Ponder!
The header photo is of a portion of Armadale Castle with me out front, May 2018.
There is a table of contents of the posts about my trip to Scotland in May 2018 at the top of the blog under the header photo in the drop down for Seaching for the origins of the MacD’s.
Find My Past has a section for searching on Scotland, Jacobite Histories 1715-1745 and there is quite a list of documents including some of the forfeited estates, histories of the rebellions and more.
July 7, 2018 Went to Port Townsend, WA and we had breakfast at the Spruce Goose Cafe at the Jefferson County International Airport. We also spent time in the Pt. Townsend Aero Museum next to the cafe. I highly recommend it. Both have websites just Google them. As I sat in the Spruce Goose Cafe enjoying my breakfast I had this feeling that I had been there before with my dad, Keith, who loved the airplanes.
