A day long in coming...

My wife Catherine and I attended the grand opening festivities for the new USA Kilts store in Spring City this past evening... and we had a blast! Rocky, Kelly and everyone else were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We met a lot of very interesting folks and had some great conversations over good beer and good food. We even ran into a friend of ours that attends the UU church with us here in Lancaster, who was buying a full dress ensemble for his wedding next October.

And, after 12+ years of putting it off... I ordered a kilt. Specifically, a semi-traditional in the Tara tartan. I thought a Scottish garment in a universal Irish tartan would be a great way to honor my Scotch-Irish heritage. And I took full advantage of the great in-store sale Rocky was having to pick up a belt and buckle, kilt pin, hose, flashes and an absolutely beautiful semi-dress sporran in black rabbit with cream fur tassels. I plan to wear the full ensemble for this year's edition of the annual Yule party my wife and I host.

Thanks again to Rocky and the crew at USA Kilts for a great time... I can't wait to get that 5 yards of awesome around my waist!

Rocky called yesterday... the new kilt is ready and waiting for me to pick up! The plan is to pick it up Saturday while I'm out that way with a friend, but I might just give in to the Jones and make a special trip Thursday evening.
