    A Couple of Pics

    Just back from a five day run over to San Diego and back for a sort of family reunion with lots of cousins etc. and a memorial service for my mother then scattering her ashes at sea where my father's ashes are too.


    Took a pic on the way over above Palm Spings at a viewpoint on the Palms to Pines Highway. That's the RAF tartan in the wind.


    This pic with my grandkids is the Red Scott Modern wore it for the memorial in honor of my mother's maternal clan, Scott.

    Both kilts were hand sewn by Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts in Albuquerque.

    Great pics (as usual), great kilts & a touching story of reuniting your mother & father.

    Did you trim your ponytail or did the wind just blow it over your shoulder in the 1st photo?

    Ron,

    Sorry to hear about your Mom.

    Hey, I didn't know you were a Grandpa. I hear they're more fun than kids! Has that young man shown any interest in being like his Grandpa? (as in dressing like....).

    Nice picture at the overlook.

    Awesome pics. Did you cut the tongue out of those Zcoil shoes and make "Z Brogues?"

    A kilt always looks good in the San Jacinto Mountains.

    Hey Andrew,

    Saw the trail crossing and thought of you!!

    Mowgli, my grandson's dad is an undercover narc all tatted out...don't think he's quite ready for that yet...maybe I've planted a seed though.

    And nope, Bradley...just the reflection off the fill flash...haven't cut the tongue's out yet....

    Okay back to the laundry
