My friend and coworker, David Hutton, gave me a CD of his entitled Simply Scottish. He has a lovely tenor voice, and I hope to learn how to upload some of his music onto my blog.
A personal note from David:
"I don't do much 'gig' work but sing at the Celtic Chorus (Oddfellows Hall, Heights) on a Tuesday and at Kelvin Armes Scottish Pub every 2nd Thursday - if anyone wants to listen to me they can contact me at davehutton47@yahoo.com ".

Boss' Baby Picture from Liverpool, UK
I thought I would share a picture of my boss, name withheld by request. He was born in Liverpool, UK in the 1960's. In the background, there is a mill from the local town. In the foreground, you see my boss (he comments he has about the same amount of hair now as he did then) in what we would consider today to be an antique buggy. Interesting to think of how times have changed, hmmm?

Spring gardening in the air
Finally! Sunny weather (possibly for a whole week?) has arrived to Houston. What does that mean to this West Houston woman? A trip to the local nurseries for some of my favorite herbs, plants and flowers.
Cornelius on Dairy Ashford was bursting with people yesterday. I'm sure today will be the same.
I discovered four different types of mint varieties, including: mint (strong), peppermint (sweet), spearmint, and chocolate mint. All smell luscious, yet my favorite was the regular mint and proved particularly handy for my oncoming migraine. I broke a leaf in half and ran it across the pulse points of my temple, nose and sinuses. Instant relief!
I also picked up another favorite: Greek Oregano, which adds a light peppery flavor to any dish. Two years ago during the Hurricane Rita evacuation, I lost all my oregano plants, including an especially hardy Cuban Oregano which added savory flavor to soups and stews. Believe it or not, for a hurricane, that one proved to be particularly dry, and I lost all my plants that hot, dry summer.
Here's to lovely spring weather. Get outside and enjoy!
