Uncle Coldie is going away for a week. To Scotland no less. I don’t want any jumping on the beds, no running around with scissors, and NO parties. And if you give Unc and Euty shit while I’m gone, there’s gonna be hell to pay when I get back. Do I make myself understood? HUH?? As you were. 😉 ---

Hey **Coldy** , pop on over to England and say hi to my grandma while you’re there! She’s visiting her sister and friends. Seriously. Have a great trip, and remember, “if it’s not Scottish, it’s CRAP!” 😉 ---
