    A Gift for my Sporran

    Just getting around to posting this. My sister gave me something for my sporran and something for my desk. The note book is 2 1/2 inches by 2 inches. My son said now I need a "sporran pencil," so he said to go golfing and take the marking pencil.

    When ever I say the word "sporran," I go into a Scottish dialect and I was talking about my gifts and 3 people all at once asked what are you doing? So then I really laid on the accent and they thought for sure I was crazy.

    These gifts were purchased from a gift shop on Nova Scotia, Canada where my sister traveled this summer.



    DALE.

    Congratulations on the notebook thingy, and good luck with stealing a pencil.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    That's awsome. I like the Scotsman with the sword...that design would look great on a t-shirt.

    LOL...I have that, too...however I usually get "what part of Ireland are you from?" because I can switch between my Irish brogue and American accent quite swiftly.

    Have fun with your new notepads.

    Cheers.

    Go to www.flavell.com that is what is printed on the back. I see they have wrapping paper and bags in tartan design too, plus lots of other Scottish items.

    DALE.
