Hey folks,

Been a while .... a long while since I've last posted. And I miss my kilted brethren. I've been concentrating on music and song writing. My kilt monies have been re-invested in guitar and music making stock and such.

We're just at the end of Winter, as the temps over this past weekend were in the teens and today in the mid-fifties. It's a wonder we're not with the death of colds.

I have a question that I'm hoping the minds here can help me resolve.

I have three grandsons and a granddaughter. Of which, two grandsons are aged 6 and 7 years. I'd like to introduce them to the kilt. They have seen my kilt(s) and have asked why I wear a "dress". I have explained to them, as best I can to that age group, the history of the Kilt and why I choose to wear a kilt. They have been receptive and pretty much shrug it off as "Piggy-Paw" doing his thing. Never mind the Piggy-Paw thing.

I'm looking forward to taking the boys and introducing them to the world of Scottish/Highland games this year. We have several games scheduled in our neck of the woods. I do believe my grandsons seeing and being "a part" of Scottish heritage in America, the Scottish and Celtic music and the profound feelings of the Opening Of The Games would have nothing but a positive effect up on them.

I wish to purchase kilts and associated accoutrements for the boys. Their Mother, my daughter, doesn't have any qualms with it, however, my ex Son-in-Law does. As the daughter is primary caretaker and the ex isn't, I tend to lean toward the daughters thoughts. But, as biased as I may be, I don't wish to cause problems. On the other hand, I feel it very important the grandsons realize their heritage. Am I being selfish?

And along the same lines, via there Grandmother, the boys, and girl, have a close history to Native American heritage.

I guess I'm asking your thoughts and opinions on a Grandfather buying kilts for his Grandsons.
