Hopefully I can find some wider ribbon in another city. There ins't a fabric store here and Wal~Mart is very limited. As for the kilt-making...I think I will probably buy a new kilt before I talk her into making any.

Please pass along our best wishes for the birthday of your Mrs.
Good idea on the flashes. Oh, and she said thank you.
