    the pipe band







    My Mom and I


    the band again


    here are the wee dancers getting ready toproiform


    Unfortunately the weather was a bit unpredictable tonight so as Cobourg is a long way from Toronto, Scott ans I left early, but before leaving I got this parting shot


    Then it was to the snowy Highway and home, it really was nice to spend some time with my parents over a Burns Supper and I hope to do it again next year.

    I miss the Burns night we use to have at our local legion. There is nothing like listen to an entire pipe band in a small space!!
    It looks like you had a wonderful Burns Weekend!
    It must have been special listing to your dad give the keynote speech.
    Thanks for sharing,

    Pssst. "Buns" supper? I'm sorry, but that made me laugh when I read it. Had a picture of people dressed in their best and eating nothing but buns. On a side note. Great pictures. Looks like a great time!
