Clann Tartan at Charles City
Off to Charles City…
…For colgaffneyis first camping event of the season. mia_mcdavid is hauling the trailer of our corporate gear behind a borrowed van (Thank you, LS!). She called a few minutes ago as they passed Owatonna.
I am going home now. I will pick up a few things that were left behind, put them in our car (packed last night) and then be on my way as well.

Bígi reidh le caint ar rud suimiúil atá ar siúl.
Be prepared to talk about something interesting that is happening.
I thought about saying something about the weekend’s activities with
colgaffneyis, but quickly rejected that–it is hard enough to
explain as Bearla (in English). Instead:
Tá orm strus mór ag obair. Tá agam bainisteoir olc. Is tíoránach suarach é.
Is fuath le na hoibrithe é. Beidh agam bainisteoir nua go luath b’fhéidir.
| Tá a fhios agam go ____ | I know that _____ |
| beidh tú i d’aonar | you will be alone (lit. “in your oneness”) |
| pléigh | discuss |
| de ghnáth | usually |
| ullmhaigh | prepare |

Show Time!
Again following-up on last night’s post from mia_mcdavid, yesterday we loaded colgaffneyis trailer for our first camping show of the season, in Charles City, Iowa. Setup is Thursday evening, down there. I am busy Monday (Irish Class), Tuesday (colgaffneyis dance), and Wednesday (Church choir), so I got my traveling woodworking kit together (I hope) this afternoon, and did most of my other packing this evening.

Not bad
I took another look at that list of projects that I mentioned earlier today. I have finished 11 out of 14. Of course, I can think of a few additions….

Now that’s a PLAID. I followed the original discussion on the Scotattire list with considerable interest and had already planned to make something like this. Now I am even more excited about it. Alas, sewing projects seem to be slipping to the bottom of the queue, even though I have made considerable progress on other parts of my list.
