      THE SAINT& THE SERPENT!

    I was going to write about National
Sand Castle Day today but they cancelled
it because of the virus.
    There didn't seem to be too much
special about this date until I did some
research and learned that one of the
longest living legends started on
August 22nd in the year 565!
       That's when Saint Columba, the man
credited with bringing Christianity to
Scotland., claimed to see a monster on
Loch Ness!
        I was in Scotland in 2014 and had
the opportunity of cruising on Loch
Ness. Everybody was hoping to catch
a glimpse of "Nessie." But even with
bottom searching sonar all we saw was
the beautiful lake and the surrounding
mountains.
         I took a few photos but haven't
really looked at them all. I'll post a couple
for you.
         Don't believe everything  you hear
but, on the other hand, don't blink! You
might miss something!!!
          Hope yoiu're well and that all
your NEWS is good.
