    A Jones-free Newsome Kilt!?!?

    Is such a thing possible?


    ...only when someone who loves you (in this case, my mom) is crafty enough to order a kilt for you in secret!

    If I had woken up in the morning with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't have been more surprized!

    Ross. Ancient colors. 16oz. worsted. Nine box pleats (might get a pleat shot up tomorrow).

    :-) Merry Christmas. Did you happen to also receive a nice tie to go with that?

    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Lovely. I'd wish you a very merry Christmas but clearly there's no need for wishing - you're already there!

    May the rest of the day and the coming year be as joyful, if perhaps less surprising....
