My husband and I were hoping to go to Capital Grille for Valentine’s Day. However, we could not get a reservation. As a result, we decided to book a dinner two weeks afterwards. At the same time, if you are a member of the MPC Prep Program, Valentine’s Day was also a rest day. It was also a cold day which made it impossible for me to walk outside with my youngest one to Panera Bread after music class to get his treat for good behaviour. He has a sweet tooth, and he gets a cookie a day. One of the advantages about it is that he likes fruits. He cannot stop eating bananas, strawberries and raspberries.
Because it was a rest day, I decided to read National Geographic Magazine. If you are an Outlander fan, you should basically read the special issue, “100 Greatest Mysteries Revealed” for the following reasons:
- The cover reminds me of Craigh Na Dun. Of course, the main difference is that the ones on the cover are basically statues as opposed to simply being standing stones.
- The first article is about the Carnac Stones in Brittany.
- The third article is about Stonehenge, and there is a reference to “ley lines.”
There is also an article about bog bodies being victims of human sacrifice. There is a reference to the bodies found in Ireland. This is of interest if you have read The Scottish Prisoner.- There is also a topic questioning whether the real Count of Saint-Germain was immortal. It looks like he lived a long life based on different accounts.
- There are also articles about the Roanoke Colony, time travelling, the existence of an afterlife, and amputated ghost limbs.
There are also other topics such as El Dorado, the fountain of youth and the whereabouts of Amelia Earhart. My next Outlander post will be the last one for book 6, and it will be about Malva.
